Will you share what you bid and what you bid on? Yea it was low. Hundred or so above the minimum pp, so I would assume it wasn’t accepted. It looks like they send out rejections. I’m surprised I haven’t gotten those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bids acceptance, is going to based on the Total, cruise price. It's brilliant marketing, because, people focus on the bid amount. Completely forgetting to add what they already paid. She did mention what she paid, yes. My comment was based off of that. To get into the amount already paid, technically, the cabin I originally had was a higher category therefore I'm positive I paid more to begin with. Not at all complaining, and I'm currently enjoying my cruise as I type this, but thought I'd give my two cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzygirl Posted March 9, 2019 #2630 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Do they send out upgrade offers on Suites that show no availability to have a backup in case the people cancel at the last minute and they don't want the Suite to sail empty? We are in a DOS on Star, and received an offer to upgrade to Garden Villa, but the GV's have been booked for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandC2019 Posted March 13, 2019 #2634 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Just wondering if anybody has experienced trying to bid and getting an error message saying "We are unable to process your request at this time...…" I have a bid already in on a balcony for over a month now but for past week am trying to place a bid on a mini suite. I've tried several times, using a different browser, different credit card etc I didn't have any issues initially with the bid on the balcony, but for whatever reason it will not process the one for the mini suite. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated of if someone has had this issue - did you get it resolved and if so how? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience has been, once 5 days prior, once 4 days prior, and once 3 days prior. All three received upgrade but also all three were not on peak sailing dates like yours. If you look at availability for your ship it's sold out for this weekend so any stray upgrade would probably come on the very last day if there is a cancellation. Enjoy your cruise!

If you don’t hear it’s because your bid was not accepted and you will most likely get the denial email 48 hours before sailing. If you were bidding on the haven rooms they are almost all entirely sold out at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my upgrade bid accepted at noon on a Thursday before a Saturday sailing... so bids can and do get accepted right at the 48 hour mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any luck for you? No nothing... I understand what everyone is saying about the cruise appearing sold out. I don’t know if you watched it before than but it literally sold 40 cabins between 10 PM and 8 AM. It’s possible I guess but seemed weird. Guess we will find out soon enough. Safe travels.

I called NCL a while back when I noticed the cabin I was looking to upgrade too showed as sold out. The NCL rep told me I couldn’t upgrade to that room, but there were a few of those rooms blocked off for the bidding process. I’m not sure if I was given correct information or not, but found it interesting. Also, there are always cancellations, so some rooms can open up, even if it’s a sold out cruise. Thank you and safe travels to you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Breakaway sails at 4pm on Sunday so I'm guessing that means we are guaranteed to hear something by Friday at 4pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
