Received email with successful bid upgrade today. Charge card notification came at the same time. New cabin assignment was already updated when I immediately logged in after receiving successful upgrade email. I had been checking several times a day and it was still showing Pending an hour or two before I received the upgrade notification email. Never saw a "Processing" status, but could have missed it in the mere 1-2 hour time frame I wasn't crazily checking it.

Ship: Breakaway

Destination: Southern Carribbean round trip New York

Number of days: 14 nights

Embarkation: January 5, 2018

Original Stateroom: IF Gty (1 up from sail away rates) w/beverage package, 2 passengers

Upgraded Stateroom: Balcony (BB), Deck 9

Accepted Bid: $55 per person, $110 total

We went from an inside all the way forward (literally most forward cabin), deck 5, underneath the theater, to a wonderful, almost mid-ship forward balcony. We booked 2 cabins at the same time 10 days ago, but only received offer to bid for this cabin. The other one is an inside sail away cabin (2 people), no promos. Was considering asking for opportunity to bid for upgrade on the sailaway, but the 2 in our group with this cabin are happy with the inside. Silver latitude members (1 in each, the one w/out bid opportunity has an NCL first-timer). We received opportunity to bid email 2 days after booking and we bid right away. Minimum bid was $50 for Balcony, $25 for OV. We only bid on balcony. Bid of $55 was in poor. Absolutely thrilled with the upgrade!
