Hang tough, we didn't get upgrade until week of sailing

Thanks! Yeah, both of my oceanview and balcony bids were in the middle of the Poor range so I'm not getting my hopes up this far away.

Offered $50 received balcony upgrade yesterday, 5 days before sailing. 

Assuming that's for a December 2nd sailing, Is that for the Sky or the Sun?

I had an upgrade offer for the Sky next month on a 5 day but despite both my bids being in the "Poor" range, it doesn't look like the cruise is selling out anytime soon.

Hello. We are looking at a Norwegian cruise and one of the ports is Grand Bahama Island. Where exactly are we docking?

An excursion offered is the swim with the pigs. I would like to know if anyone knows if it's possible to book this excursion directly with a company instead of the cruise line. I have found one company offering this but it specifically says it's from Freeport. I just find this confusing.

On another note, the reviews for this excursion are really hit or miss. Has anyone here actually done the excursion at the Grand Bahama Island port or through Norwegian's Great Stirrup Cay?

Thank you.

varies by cruise line as well as by cruise length, cabin class, et al.

I see. The cruise in question is a 5 day on Norwegian. Only looking for an inside cabin.

At this rate, I suppose I'll either book and get it over with or wait a month or so before. Kind of booked things backwards. Got the flights before the cruise.

You will find that some repetitive, short itinerary cruises on mass market lines (e.g., one week or less Caribbean)may see some price drops after the day final payments are due (because of cancellations).

By contrast, some longer cruises to more unusual/exotic/etc places with a limited number of sailings (particularly on premium/luxury lines) may sell out early after being announced. And any cabin that does become available closer to embarkation day will fetch a premium.

In short, "supply and demand" rules.

I'm assuming final payment is 3 months before sail date?

We are looking at booking a cruise. We found it about a month ago and it was a decent price. Things happened, life happened, and now the cruise is nearly $200 more. I know, we should have booked it back then but due to circumstances with communication, it just didn't work out that way. It's sailing from New Orleans in January. It has gone up twice this week alone. Becoming frustrating. Any advice or experience with this?
