How long did it take to find out if your bid was accepted ?

Sailing on the Royal Princess in an MA mini suite cabin.

Just got a chance to bid on a suite cabin.

I assume they do the assignment if the bid is accepted.

I noticed that almost ALL of the corner , front PS cabins are available.

Anyone ever had one of these ??

We had a front cabin on another cruiseship & found it VERY hard to access the balcony when the boat was moving.

Do you think it is worth bidding on ?

thanks

SORRY, hit the enter too soon...

Anyway, I just read the fine print on the upgrade form & it said you could find out anytime up until sailing !

Our sailing is 11/6/22. If I put in a bid tomorrow, how long do you think it would take for a reply ?

thanks

It is a bit hard to tell timing as this just started very recently. However, there are some reports of about 3 weeks prior to sailing. This would make sense as they want to wait to see if higher bids will come in but do not wait so long that they cannot offer your room as an upgrade bid to others.

Got my upgrade on 10/4 for a 10/29 sailing. This may not be typical, and each instance may be different

Just received notice that my bid was accepted from inside to deluxe balcony on royal for October 23

  I just made the minimum bid for an upgrade so not holding my breath for acceptance but one can always hope    :O)
