I remember talk on hear about what categories your allowed to bid on, something like 2 categories up but I can't seem to find it anymore.

My question is if I'm currently booked in a SPA mini sweet (M9), will I be able to bid up to a Haven SPA Suite (H9)?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

I think so because I have a sailaway balcony and can bid on spa balcony, mini suites and havens.

Yes, they do give out upgrades at the last moment, so if a mock booking shows availability for the category you want, it is worth it to keep an active bid.  As far as adding another bid for the spa balcony, that's a personal preference.  Will you be completely bummed if you get NO upgrade?  Then yes, add the other bid.  If you really ONLY want the mini, keep it as is.  Best of Luck!!

Thank you for your advice!!

Edit: spa mini showing sold out on mock booking and spa balcony showing not available hmm

If you can change your offer up to 48hrs prior to departure, but they have up to 48 hours prior to departure to send acceptance notices...does that mean that you could hypothetically get notified AT 48hrs prior to departure? How often does this happen and is it worth upping your bid (or placing a ne bid on another category) say 49hrs before departure? 

My cruise sails Thursday so I am getting anxious!! Wondering if I should bid on spa balcony in addition to spa mini but would rather have the mini...

Hello,

In regards to those that either received or have not received an upgrade offer;

Have those that have received an upgrade offer, before you received an offer, did you also also purchase some kind of precruise NCL upgrade, (ie extra dining package, thermal pass, travel protection through NCL, etc)?

 

For those that didn't receive an upgrade offer, same question but reversed.

 

I was thinking back to when I've received an NCL upgrade offers and when I had not.

 

So on my last NCL cruise in Sept 2018 I had purchased additional SDP meals and also received an upgrade offer.

 

For my next cruise I have not purchased any additional upgrades and have also not received an upgrade offer yet and we're almost at the 30 days to depart mark.

I’ve booked a Guaranteed Balcony on Breakaway for 12/6 (I.e sail away) thru NCL and chose to get travel protection and prepay the service charges. I got an upgrade offer not long after I booked late September. Waiting to hear about my offer on Spa Minisuite (bid minimum back in October and it was pending so I went ahead and upped it a little yesterday...still pending). 

Edit: I wanna say when I booked my March cruise on Sky and did travel protection only I got offers too? I did not bid then. This is my first time bidding.

Once I was having breakfast in the ships buffet on a sea day and they were playing the Theme from Titantic. I did note the irony. Apparently, no one checked the musak play list.

I know what I’m replying to is old, but I sailed on the Sky this past March and spotted one of the backdrops for photos while crew was putting out Emesis bags due to rocky waters. My friend and I swore this was the staircase from the titanic movie and were convicted it was an omen that our ship would sink!!
