billslowsky Posted December 23, 2017 #2753 Share Posted December 23, 2017 The title of this thread is : What was your upgrade offer and what did you bid Thanks for that most helpful post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovelylady226 Posted December 24, 2017 #2754 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Some responses here say anyone can bid, others say it is an email. Which is it? NCL newbie here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Price31 Posted December 24, 2017 #2755 Share Posted December 24, 2017 No:loudcry:..not yet, but thanks for asking. I don't want to say too much on a public board until after the cruise, but I noticed they're down to two and lowered the asking price another $200. (Be happy to discuss on PM, since you're already in and helped me with my bids. knlgraff@msn.com ) Where can you see what cabins are available? I have a connecting mini suite and would like to see if the other 1 is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can call and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycarla Posted December 24, 2017 #2758 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks for that most helpful post. You are welcome. Sadly - there are more off topic questions and repeated questions and.... well... everything but what this thread is about. Part of the reason for so many repeated questions is that people keep asking things that do not apply, or do not even answer with what the title of the thread says.

When I checked the NCL site the balcony's were sold out but some suites were available. I'm hoping some folks get those suites so we can have an opportunity at a balcony.

TBax Posted December 27, 2017 #2768 Share Posted December 27, 2017 We were on the cruise that was cancelled on Nov 11th. We got our upgrade 12 days prior to the trip from an interior to oceanview for 50 per person while we had bid 150 per person for a balcony. Once that cruise was cancelled we rebooked tge dec 2nd Gem departure. We booked an oceanview since it included all 5 free options. We did not bid on a balcony, we only bid on a mini suite. The bid was 200 per person and again 12 days before embarking we received our upgrade to a Mini suite aft that was very large. Very happy we had the practice of the cancelled cruise in order to get exactly what we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amydandrea Posted December 27, 2017 #2771 Share Posted December 27, 2017 the offer email was for a Balcony or Mini Suite from our OB category. I am actually ok with the ocean view room this go around as we got all 5 perks etc. But I decided to go ahead and bid, so I went with POOR bids in both categories, $30 for Balcony pp , and $50 pp for mini suite. We paid top dollar for the cruise so don't want to go too much higher, will update when I get approved, or not! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guarantee yours will be 12 days but ours was about 30 minutes apart on the same day so that is something in the scheduling or quite a coincidence. Good luck.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Escape NYE cruise 12/30/2017 Just found out I did not have my bids accepted. Bid $1200pp for 2 bedroom haven and $900 pp for the Aft Balcony. Too much for my blood to bid more. Still happy with my room of choice but also disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanadakid Posted December 29, 2017 #2774 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Got a single interior cabin for myself and didn't have to pay any supplement. 10 day cruise for < $400, and didn't know that I could negotiate so paid in full to make sure I got the cabin right at the front of Deck 4. Seems like it could be noisy/bumpy but not a lot of room to negotiate. You get what you pay for I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want that specific room, then you pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
