I leave on Dawn from San juan sunday, this morning the cruise disappeared from the site. No one on role call has reported an upgrade. On Sunday there were still about 10 rooms in each room type (oceanview, balcony, mini suites). Then Monday it showed nothing available. Today it’s gone. Not sure if they just took is down to do the upgrades or if they really sold those rooms. I’m waiting eagerly. 

We leave Friday and ours did the same. Nothing available last Thursday and then disappeared. I assumed they were moving things around and planning the upgrades. And then the bids started coming in slowly... some people found out 7 days before, some 4 day, and us... 3 days. 

We got our upgrade!

Escape 12/21 (Xmas Sail)

# Sailing: 3 

Original room: Mid ship balcony (BC) $2,822 before fees

Upgraded room: spa mini suite (M9)

Upgrade bid: $235 (I believe bid started at $150)

Upgrade date: 12/18

We already planned to get the spa pass, so an extra $70 for a midship minisuite by the spa is a great deal IMO! 

Declined bids:

- Spa Balcony: $150 (started $95?) 

- Courtyard Haven (H5): $430

- FF Haven (H7): $450

I am now around 36 hours out from my cruise and still no notification if my bid was successful or unsuccessful. Is this normal?

We leave on a Friday too and mine are all pending. I’ve lost hope but they don’t say cancelled, sooo?  

I know that others got upgraded yesterday.

Take good care of the Escape, I am on the Dec 28th sailing. Good luck with your bid!

I lied. Kind of. My bids for spa balcony and spa mini suite are now in poor range. 😩

Escape, December 21

I’m on the same one. I don’t see the adjustment in range when I look at mine. Still $400 min for the two haven I bid on.

Ack! Same! I was just going to post this exact comment. I wonder if it means our upgrade bids are either going to go through or become "expired" and messages to that effect are going to come in. When I click on the envelope at the top of my NCL page, the message about upgrading is also gone! But I did the same as you and was able to still find the original bid confirmation email. Strange. Stay tuned, I guess!

Same for me. I don’t sail until 12/21. I’m thinking it’s just a glitch. If not, I hope we get our  haven bid. FX!

Interested to hear from others how they learned the exact number of cabins still available on their sailings. Some people have quoted things like "75% still available" etc. Where does this information come from? Thanks!

Hi! I just did a mock booking on both ncl.com and Priceline. Was able to see which rooms were available for me in those categories. 

And I wasnt quoting capacity for the whole sailing. Just for the two room types I’m bidding on. 

We sail 12/21 on the Escape, and I'm getting antsy about my upgrade bids... not sure I'm being aggressive enough. Newbie alert. I'm in the "poor" range for an upgrade to a spa balcony (50% still available) or spa mini suite (about 75% still available) from a mid-ship balcony. Wonder if I should bump it up or not. "Fair" would still put me under the $200 cost of a thermal spa pass. Cabin prices have increased a bit since I booked over a month ago.
