Mjasp Posted November 30, 2017 #2576 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Been on several different cruise lines but this is my second NCL cruise. A couple of questions. 1) Do they contact guests randomly to get these emails or do you have to let them know in advance? 2) Would you get an email if you booked through a travel agent? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Based on comments in this thread, nobody is positive if they are sent to everyone or just some people at random, or just a limited number. Also, some TA's have opted out. If you read through just the past week or so this thread, you will also see that some people only see it when they log in and do not get the actual email. You do not have to let anyone know you might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTheRadioGuy Posted November 30, 2017 #2579 Share Posted November 30, 2017 53 days out and upgrades no longer show as available. Anyone ever see that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBTN Posted November 30, 2017 #2580 Share Posted November 30, 2017 53 days out and upgrades no longer show as available. Anyone ever see that before? Based on previous posts if the banner has disappeared it means your bid was probably accepted. You’ll know in about 48 hours for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince_g Posted November 30, 2017 #2581 Share Posted November 30, 2017 53 days out and upgrades no longer show as available. Anyone ever see that before? I sail on Dec. 12 and I am seeing the banner coming and going. I'm happy with what I booked, so I am not bidding. I just find it curious that it will be there for a couple of days and then disappear for a day or so, then it's back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonTheRadioGuy Posted December 1, 2017 #2585 Share Posted December 1, 2017 No sure what you are saying here? Please explain. At the bottom of the Upgrade Advantage page it says "NOT ELIGIBLE FOR UPGRADE" and my bid offers were all cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBTN Posted December 1, 2017 #2586 Share Posted December 1, 2017 At the bottom of the Upgrade Advantage page it says "NOT ELIGIBLE FOR UPGRADE" and my bid offers were all cancelled. That's a new one. Call the Upsell Department for more information. 800-625-4309. Again, its possible they've accepted your bid, meaning you wouldn't be able to bid again. It could be something else entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertie17 Posted December 1, 2017 #2590 Share Posted December 1, 2017 An FYI - I booked through Cruises Only and I got the email yesterday for my Feb 18 cruise on Getaway. I'll be surprised if we get upgraded, since I would think this would be a popular date for cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmathers Posted December 1, 2017 #2594 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We had an inside cabin and bid $75 per person to upgrade to balcony. It was accepted almost immediately so we got upgraded to balcony midship nice upgrade. We head out on the Jade on the 7th of Dec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasMIGolf Posted December 1, 2017 #2595 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Received the email for the Upgrade Advantage program. We are passing as the minimum bids don't seem to be worth the upgrades. Currently in a spa-balcony, minimum bid to upgrade to a Haven Spa Suite with Balcony is $400 per person and maximum offer is $2,000 per person. All other upgrade offers don't provide access to Thermal Spa. Good luck to those bidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTheRadioGuy Posted December 1, 2017 #2596 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Update: There was a typo in my credit card info. Updated my info and got my upgrade. Inside to oceanview for Jade on 1/22. Bid $25 and got it. Bid $75 on balcony and didn't get it. I'm happy with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abisutton Posted December 2, 2017 #2598 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hey all, I’m still anxiously awaiting on my upgrade (hopefully). Anyone hear anything about 1/7 pearl? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella2 Posted December 2, 2017 #2599 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hey all, I’m still anxiously awaiting on my upgrade (hopefully). Anyone hear anything about 1/7 pearl? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Based on previous posts, I think it is too early to be seeing anything for a January 2018 upgrade on the Pearl. The only ship that seems to get super early (as compared to other ships) upgrade notices is the Breakaway. And I say that after reading (over the course of several days) all 132 pages of this thread. :o Yes, I am also anxiously awaiting news for my NYE Escape cruise, but I don't expect to hear anything one way or the other until the 48 hours prior mark. Good luck with you on your bid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasreb Posted December 2, 2017 #2600 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Upgrades on the Pearl have been few if any. The sailings have been selling out before departure date. I just checked Jan 7. Not many cabins of any category left. NCL took down Dec sailings, but for Christmas last week. Jan 7 a few months back showed "sold out" across the board. Looks like some bookings must have cancelled at the 90 day mark. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
