Bidding process is easy-peazy. We leave next Sunday on the Regal. I originally purchased a balcony aft on Marina deck, which is our favorite location. About six weeks ago, I bid the minimum, $70 per person for a deluxe balcony. I was notified last Saturday that bid was accepted and we now have a deluxe balcony on back of ship on Marina deck. I have always wanted to try an aft facing balcony so immediately accepted the offer by paying for it on My Princess. The whole process was very easy, and, in our case, we got a new cabin very close to original location. It is very easy to bid and a fun warm-up to hitting the casino onboard.
