Great review Doug. Thanks for making the effort and providing some ideas. Cruising in a few days this Easter Sunday on the Dawn. (Cyndi is heading up the Roll Call). First cruise for me, should be fun.

Congratulation s and enjoy, please can you tell me what is the lowest you can bud and how is it scaled? We have mid ship inside cabin for for booked not till August our cruise but insides been fully booked fir months and just seen outsides booked as well, price for balcony high, we decided to book inside due to cost always done balcony or mini suite on Eouc but good prices, wondered if chance ncreses if all lower priced cabins gone early. Thanks

At first I was only willing to bid $100pp. I looked at the scale and the lowest amount on the "Fair offer" scale was $135pp. So I went with that. I do not know if my thinking is correct but I reckon that most ships get most of the inside staterooms booked early especially with first time cruisers. That limits supply. The balcony and larger rooms may not book as fast. If they get a good portion of the inside staterooms booked, they can always upgrade those guys. This allows them to low ball inside staterooms as the cruising date gets closer, filling those up. They then end up with a fuller ship. Not completely sure if that logic holds up, but I'm going with it anyway.;);)

Just got e-mail confirm. Scored an upgrade 10 days before sailing. Inside Stateroom to Mid-Ship Balcony. Bid lowest amount showing on the "Fair" scale. WooHoo!
