I've been watching for months now, and have yet to see anything close to what we paid just a year ago... Not only is the cruise itself more expensive, but the perks are not as great either. Last year in addition to being able to pick 2 of the Free At Sea offers, we also had the 3rd and 4th guest sail free, plus a free 50 photo package AND $100 OBC.

Any insight as to whether deals this good will ever come around again?

Just checked again and they said to try back tomorrow. No mini suites available yet. :( It looks like 4 have sold already today. Good for them, bummer for me, lol. I'll keep hoping for tomorrow!!!

I'm sailing on the Dawn this Sunday. There are currently 18 unbooked mini suites... I'm currently in an OV. I received upsell offers for suites, and almost took one of them, but would really prefer to save a little money and upsell to the mini-suite instead. This is our first cruise, and I really think the extra room will help us all relax a little more :)

Has anyone had any luck upselling to a Mini Suite? At 30 days out I was told I could do this the week of sailing. I've called, and was told they haven't decided if they're offering the mini suites yet, and they don't know when it would be if they do. Has anyone had any luck with this or have any helpful tips? I don't want to keep calling and bugging the upsell department, but my boat leaves on Sunday and I REALLY want to get into a mini suite if possible. I'm willing to pay for it, just don't want to lose my current promos :)

We just called the ncl upgrade line yesterday and paid $400 pp to go from an inside cabin to a family suite with balcony! Not a bad purchase for first time NCL cruisers. I'm quite impressed!

That's awesome! How far out was this before your sailing? I've called the upsell line several times and was told I couldn't upgrade from an OV to a mini suite until the week prior to sailing. I'm a newbie too :)
