Pinkrn Posted April 30, 2018 #4305 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Fingers crossed - I have several bids for havens for June 3rd :) I’m on the Escape May 13th. I keep checking daily and nothing yet. 13 days to go:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alliecat44 Posted April 30, 2018 #4306 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Ouch for the May 13th people!!! Though if I recall, prices for the Haven that week were exceptionally low...maybe that’s why so many are snagged? How many Haven rooms total are on the Getaway? You have piqued my curiosity about percentage occupancy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have piqued my curiosity about percentage occupancy! :) They actually were not low, this week was eligible for tax free savings but then again, so is the 27th of May so know one know for sure. What I do know, or see is havens do not get allocated until last minute (24-72 hours before) this gives ncl the most time possible to get full price.

Noodle77 Posted April 30, 2018 #4310 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Does NCL offer the chance to bid on upgrades within the same category? For instance, if I'm booked in a regular balcony (BB), will it offer me a chance to bid on an Aft Balcony? Or does it start with the category above your current cabin, in this case a mini-suite?

I wish! But it doesn't. If you are in a balcony you can bid to Minis and Suites/Havens. If you get a Mini, you might get super lucky and be given a Spa Mini or a Large Balcony or Aft Mini.....or a regular Mini! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, even those with prices staying the same have DECREASED the perks associated with them--only giving you a choice of two (Wi-fi, UBP, SDP, shore excursion credit) and you have to pay a la carte for any additional. I didn't even know that it was possible to only get two perks when booking the Haven outright!! Interesting........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s 9 of those left so they aren’t selling well but I doubt they lower any further. As far as the perks I see all 4 available on this in the options for booking.

SailBreakaway Posted May 1, 2018 #4318 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Sailing on May 13th in 13 days! Has anyone been awarded an upgrade prior to 48hrs? If so how far in advance and where in the poor-fair-good were you? How many folks have scored an upgrade to a class of suite that showed sold out at Time the bid was awarded? Curious if they’re holding back inventory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankiemack Posted May 1, 2018 #4319 Share Posted May 1, 2018 As long as fixed cost are covered anything after that increases profitability. I got mine Monday and sail Saturday. Fair Range bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a regular balcony and did NOT get an offer for an aft balcony. Although I did get an offer to bid on an aft penthouse which started at $300pp. I was not interested in an aft so I did not bid.

alliecat44 Posted May 1, 2018 #4322 Share Posted May 1, 2018 May 6 Getaway: Bid for Haven Courtyard Penthoyse is processing. Other bids (Haven forward penthouse, Haven spa balcony, Haven aft penthouse) all “expired.” So exciting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alliecat44 Posted May 1, 2018 #4323 Share Posted May 1, 2018 If this goes through— Originally purchased BC balcony (angled) at $1199 per person. This bid for Haven Courtyard was $705 per person. Current price as if yesrday was $3300 per person I believe... Bid $860 pp for aft penthouse, $610 (changed from $750) for Haven Spa and $750 for Haven forward.
