I called last Friday to transfer one to my brother, the lady said it would take a few days, they booked Monday and it was in their account.

If you canceled, why would you still have access to bid? Also when is the cruise for? We may cancel also. Are you getting $ back or FCC? Thanks!

I think they meant they canceled their upgrade bid. 

For our cruise on the Breakaway 1/31/21 it shows I can upgrade to unlimited for $50. 

For our last 2 cruises 10 day and 7 day 250 mins were enough but I have Verizon for my cell service so when we were in port I used my travel pass $5 for 24 hours in Mexico ports and $10 for others and this allowed me to make calls, text and data.

Is the Breakaway freezing? Last cruise the ship was so cold at night I didnt have the right clothes.

Just got off the Breakaway Sat., I didn’t think it was cold, I thought it got warm in the casino a few nights. 

Thanks for the review, getting ready to go on the Breakaway for the 2nd time next month. I noticed on the daily’s someone else posted that the specials in O’Sheehans had changed a lot, I liked the old sailor’s basket on previous cruises. Do they have the text app for $10 on the Breakaway?

Alert.....there is no way you are gonna get the 'best' cabins in any category using the bidding process.....!

We went from inside to aft balcony on our last 10 day cruise by bidding.

You don't get to turn down the oceanview.  If NCL accepts the bid, you're done. 

 

That's my question, does bidding on the OV room ruin any chance of getting the balcony.  You can't prioritize it like "I'll only take the OV if there's no way I'm going to have my balcony bid accepted."  It doesn't work that way.

Last January for our cruise I bid on both oceanview and balcony, but just the minimum on OV and more on the balcony since I really wanted the balcony. We ended up with an aft balcony. Good luck.

I believe they also have diet lemon and lime like sierra mist.

Yes diet Sierra Mist.  

I’m glad I found this thread, was also wondering what was going on. We are on the Breakaway in Feb for 7 days, been watching the price almost daily about 6 months ago balcony was $1299 been steadily going down. On Friday it all the way down to $1049 then yesterday morning jumped up to $1479. The sail away rates seem to still be low, I don’t think they moved much. 

89 days out and we have already received email to upgrade. 

I was responding to someone who said there is Diet Dew on board.

As I pointed out, it's not listed by NCL as part of the soda package.

Diet Sierra Mist

Mountain Dew

Diet Mountain Dew

I didn’t see any diet Mt Dew when we were on the Breakaway in January. 

Last year we were on the Breakaway during the NFL playoffs, the games were shown on the big screens at Spice H2O and in the Atrium. Unfortunately it was raining so a lot of people in the atrium. 

I just called to see if we were eligible for the extra credit. The lady I talked to said since we were booked through a land based casino offer and upgraded from inside to balcony we weren’t eligible. If we had gone from oceanview we would have been. That's ok we still have the 4 perks and in 151 days we will be cruising.

I just went to look at mine and my page for "lets get you upgraded" is no longer there and I went and found the e-mail for upgrading and it said not eligible for upgrade. I do NOT have an e-mail stating any of our bids have been accepted or denied. So I wonder what has happened?

For our cruise last Jan that happened to me a lot, one day it wouldn’t be there then the next it was. And it was different on my IPad vs my IPhone, the way I could view my bids and the range they were in. Good luck!

We are booked in an inside room code IF.  I've made a bid which is in the mid fair zone.  My question is.....if you are bidding to move from an inside room to a balcony, is it likely you will get one of the obstructed balcony rooms with a bid?

 

In Jan we moved from inside to Aft  balcony.

Question what is the best bid I should offer:

 

NCL Escape- NYC-Bermuda November 15-20 2019

 

I see Spa Balcony is available, I can bid between $0-500 per person on slider?

 

I have CAS Comp inside room from a promo, not sure if anyone has ever gotten upgraded from those. I usually get Balcony for vacations, but thought it would be a nice budget short vacation before the holidays. Any thoughts?

Our cruise last Jan we booked under a land based casino offer. We bid on upgrades and moved from inside to aft balcony.

No worries!  I wouldn’t have known either. I’d love a balcony like that!

We are going on the Breakaway again in Feb, this time we have booked a large balcony cabin. The 1st time we had an inside and bid on balcony and received the aft. First time in a balcony cabin, got spoiled!

That would be awesome!  I don’t think the rooms are the same on Joy though. 

Sorry I didn’t see that someone posted it was Breakaway Plus class. 

This is an Aft balcony cabin #12306 on the Breakaway. It is next to a Haven cabin and it has the bed next to the balcony door. I loved the aft balcony.  

We are on the Breakaway in Feb out of Port Canaveral, received email today say that due to berthing issues instead of St Thomas we will be going to San Juan.  One couple going with is not happy with the change. Any thoughts on San Juan vs St Thomas? 

Both emails I have received recently from Caesar’s one Laughlin the other for Vegas to pick up cruise vouchers said Norwegian with a link to the site with cruises listed. Hope it stays with NCL. 

So glad to see this thread, I have always been under the impression you have to pick up the voucher in person. We have used 2 vouchers in the past. We have recently received emails about picking up new ones in Laughlin and Las Vegas but since we are about 1400 miles away we won’t make the trip to pick one up. Was hoping they would have another distribution this fall in Council Bluffs which is only about 80 miles. But now I’ll call the number listed above to see if we can book our cruise sooner. 

For our cruise last January we received to offer to bid at 72 days, same with other people on our roll call.
