So when will NCL actually implement bidding for upsells fleet-wide?

[FredZiffle]

The announcement that NCL is expanding the bidding process for upsells is only two days old, and already there is conflicting information. The CC post says it will be fleet-wide by March, but a different NCL press release says it will occur by the end of the 2nd qtr., which I assume is June if NCL's fiscal year corresponds to the calendar year.

 

So which is it?

I would tend to go with the information in NCL's press release over what a poster on this forum said.

It was the post from a CC editor that is stuck at the top of the NCL forum. http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=7478

 

That contrasts with this one:

Based on what I have heard both may be true..

 

If things go to plan, all ships will transition to the bidding system by end of March HOWEVER there may still be limited traditional upsells thru June based on adoption, after June 30 the legacy upsell department will be completely disbanded.
