Rare woodards Posted March 3, 2017 #126 Share Posted March 3, 2017 UK traveller booked directly with NCL but no email received? Is this just for US residents? Tried to called up sell department but they would talk to be because I booked in GBP?!?! Any one outside of the US and Canada had success with new approach? Sailing on the Breakaway in 3 weeks. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highmath Posted March 3, 2017 #127 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Do you know how many Aft balconies there were left on your cruise? I have that same bid on an aft Balcony for the BA and there are 7 balconies left still. There were 4 left when I looked this past Monday.

cjc23 Posted March 3, 2017 #128 Share Posted March 3, 2017 If you booked in UK Pounds then sadly you wont be offered the upgrade bidding system as only available to those who paid in $$. I am from the UK and enquired hence been told we don't qualify :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkfam Posted March 5, 2017 #131 Share Posted March 5, 2017 We were on the 1/28 Escape sailing and just got off the ship today. We initially booked a mid-ship mini suite. Around 80 or so days out we received an email to place bids on the Haven suites. They give you the option to bid 2 categories above what you initially booked. We initially bid $500 per person for the H5, H6, and H7 suites. A week before the cruise we still hadn't heard anything so we upped our bids to $650 per person- we really wanted the Haven! 3 days before sailing we received confirmation our bid was accepted for the H7. It was an amazing trip! Sent from my iPhone using Forums How can you change your bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie3fan Posted March 5, 2017 #132 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It seems a lot unfair to me why are we treated differently ? I think there are different consumer laws regarding travel in different countries, so you might enjoy some travel protections, etc. in the UK that we don't in the US. That might also seem unfair to those of us in the US, and maybe offsets your inability to get the upgrade bids. Too bad we all can't have everything!

ESBMommie2 Posted March 6, 2017 #133 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Are the older ships (Star, Sun and Dawn) on the new bidding system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC5240 Posted March 6, 2017 #134 Share Posted March 6, 2017 So out of curiosity, has anybody received an accepted upsell offer more than 3 days before sailing? I'm waiting on pins and needles to see if our upsell is accepted for our May 21st sailing, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand and Seas Posted March 6, 2017 #137 Share Posted March 6, 2017 So out of curiosity, has anybody received an accepted upsell offer more than 3 days before sailing? I'm waiting on pins and needles to see if our upsell is accepted for our May 21st sailing, lol. We have been hearing that some get accepted to Haven about a week ahead of time or so. Upsells to lesser categories seem to be closer to sailing date. I think that if they accept your offer weeks ahead of time you probably overbid and they're afraid you will pull the offer;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joken35 Posted March 7, 2017 #142 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We received the upgrade offer and submitted it today. We are 31 days out on POA. First time we booked an inside cabin due to the ports. but I was questioning that decision when the offer came in. So now we sit and wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trn68 Posted March 7, 2017 #143 Share Posted March 7, 2017 4 days until the cruise!😀 We bid on a Haven room, and also on a mini suite. The cruise looks sold out, but we will find out for sure on Thursday. Either way, we will have a great time. I will post as soon as I hear if we get and upgrade or not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannyflo2 Posted March 8, 2017 #144 Share Posted March 8, 2017 We are sailing on the 26th Getaway and are booked in Haven H7. We received the upgrade email about a day after booking. We are considering upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jancl57 Posted March 8, 2017 #145 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I got mine (inside to balcony) 3 weeks before. Would you mind telling us what you bid was for the inside to balcony upwell? We are sailing on June 9 on the Dawn to Bermuda. Have an outside and would love to nab a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkatnicolo Posted March 8, 2017 #146 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I booked on Expedia, and was offered the upgrade email. Just an FYI for anyone who booked on an OTA! Awesome, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkatnicolo Posted March 8, 2017 #147 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I am just reading this, and curious. I didn't receive any option to bid for an upgraded room. My cruise is 4/22/17, I have an inside room. Does everyone get this email to upgrade? I booked through Expedia. I just received a notification today for an upgrade, sailing 4/23/17. I didn't receive it via to my normal email (gmail acct.) though. when I logged in to ncl.com under my account / reservation it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an outside and would love to nab a balcony. It's nothing personal but I think I'm going to keep that to my self for now. The way I look at it is if it's common knowledge what bids are being excepted then everyone will be bidding that price which would lead to NCL only excepting higher bids. It would be a viscous cycle of increasing prices. I will tell you it was above the minimum tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmgrry Posted March 8, 2017 #150 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I am sailing on the Dawn on 5/5 and received an upgrade advantage email today. Looks like the Dawn is officially on the new program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
