sunshine626 Posted December 19, 2017 #2729 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Received email with successful bid upgrade today. Charge card notification came at the same time. New cabin assignment was already updated when I immediately logged in after receiving successful upgrade email. I had been checking several times a day and it was still showing Pending an hour or two before I received the upgrade notification email. Never saw a "Processing" status, but could have missed it in the mere 1-2 hour time frame I wasn't crazily checking it. Ship: Breakaway Destination: Southern Carribbean round trip New York Number of days: 14 nights Embarkation: January 5, 2018 Original Stateroom: IF Gty (1 up from sail away rates) w/beverage package, 2 passengers Upgraded Stateroom: Balcony (BB), Deck 9 Accepted Bid: $55 per person, $110 total We went from an inside all the way forward (literally most forward cabin), deck 5, underneath the theater, to a wonderful, almost mid-ship forward balcony. We booked 2 cabins at the same time 10 days ago, but only received offer to bid for this cabin. The other one is an inside sail away cabin (2 people), no promos. Was considering asking for opportunity to bid for upgrade on the sailaway, but the 2 in our group with this cabin are happy with the inside. Silver latitude members (1 in each, the one w/out bid opportunity has an NCL first-timer). We received opportunity to bid email 2 days after booking and we bid right away. Minimum bid was $50 for Balcony, $25 for OV. We only bid on balcony. Bid of $55 was in poor. Absolutely thrilled with the upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotterdam2018 Posted December 19, 2017 #2730 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) We are a group of 7. Inside cabins for 3 singles. Did not book at the same time.

Sailing on Breakaway january 5. 2 other cabins (2 couples) in Spa balcony. Both bid on Haven. Still no reaction. Haven sold out.

I talked to a couple that preferred the aft H6 to the H3 OS because of wind on the balcony while underway. We’re you able to enjoy the balcony while the ship was moving?

Christy jo Posted December 20, 2017 #2734 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Anybody on January 13 Epic get upgrade yet? I’m so excited I can hardly wait to get on the ship! Check daily for my upgrade status! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted December 21, 2017 #2735 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Great info. I talked to a couple that preferred the aft H6 to the H3 OS because of wind on the balcony while underway. We’re you able to enjoy the balcony while the ship was moving? Wind on BA/GA front H2 H3 can be an issue but if you sit down the railing blocks some of it. The other issue with those is they have a movable wall which leaks noise between the H2 and H3 so yes, I can see where the H6 aft would be a better option on BA/GA.

Nursebay Posted December 21, 2017 #2737 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Scroll back through the posts here for just a few days and you will find the answer to this and many other questions. Do you know how many pages there are? And someone said 90 days and that didn’t happen...but someone else was gracious enough to answer—in the time it took you to be reply to go look back you could have answered.

gerelmx Posted December 21, 2017 #2738 Share Posted December 21, 2017 We monitor the rates and when we see price drop ask for a upgrade or OBC, they mention best price guarantee!. We just receive a upgrade from inside to Veranda AFT in deck 7 for the Eclipse cruise, don't know how this works with other sailing company. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

MrsK Posted December 21, 2017 #2740 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Breakaway for the Feb 2, 2018 sailing. Originally booked a GTY category IF and received an IB cabin. Went from the Interior IB to a BD Balcony cabin for $65.00 (Canadian $) per person minimum bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoy Mate Posted December 22, 2017 #2742 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I was in an inside cabin - sail away rate. I bid $170.00 to upgrade 2 levels to a balcony, but the bid was not accepted. Others that had bid between $140-$155 were accepted. I think they might go by what you paid plus the bid amount or status level when giving out the upgrades. The ones that did get the upgrades booked well before I did and got the package deals at a higher cost. Still had a great time! Any cruise - upgrade or not - is a wonderful opportunity.

MaryZ Posted December 22, 2017 #2743 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Who on the NYE Breakaway cruise were offered an upgrade and accepted it. we booked this cruise after final payment, so I guess it was in late October. Then we got the upgrade bid offer about a few days later. We bid and found out around Thanksgiving our bid was accepted. Right after that, the ship showed as sold out. Not sure if it still is.

MaryZ Posted December 22, 2017 #2745 Share Posted December 22, 2017 We bid for courtyard, spa and forward haven suites. Our bid was accepted for courtyard. I believe it was $520 pp but I'd have to go and look. Originally we were in a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ry_guy785 Posted December 22, 2017 #2749 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I understand that...... I was simply stating that the bid vs retail in this case was better for retail... the bids started for the poor range on the H9 cabin at $800 and the upgrade was $850 but I got all the retail perks..
