No, something will happen to your bid, they do not forget about them. There are times when people are walking on to the ship and find out their bid was accepted. Usually about 48 hours before is most common.
I booked Murano on the first night using OBC. At checkout it asked did I want to use OBC, if so, how much. When you log on to your cruise is there a banner on the top that says how much OBC you have?
I vote for Red Lobster. Those cheddar bay biscuits are tasty. May I ask about how much the Lyft was? Still working on transportation from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale.
I sail solo and go where the best deals are. I am enjoying working my way up the loyalty ladder of a few different cruise lines. I have had my bids either accepted or rejected up to two days before sail date. I just had mine accepted for the Edge in February. Two were expired and one was pending.
That is the purpose of the Xpress pass. Just show your phone at check in, no need to print anything. Just like concerts and airlines now, no paper needed. Sometimes I save it to my phone, but most times I just pull up the app and on I go.
Thank you so much for your honest review. I am looking at a family cruise next year and am so used to booking for myself that it is difficult to know what the grandkids would like. The Mardi Gras sounds like a good option. I was looking at the family harbor But none of the sailings had a balcony option. I guess they are sold out.

I book when they first come out. Depending on where you are going, they excursions frequently sell out. The weather changes frequently too, even a week out.
Have done Calabaza in Barbados and it was one of my favorite excursions. Gina pampers you all day and the few passengers makes it a wonderful day. From the morning coffee to the afternoon lunch and snacks throughout the day.
