Will the two Category upgrades restrict balconies to bidding on MiniSuite and Concierge? Or will they also get to bid on Haven? I'm on the Joy in June and have a BD balcony at the moment. Have an upgrade offer and it lists a mini-suite, concierge family inside, penthouse, and family suite with balcony, along with multiple Haven options. Hadn't seen any other answers to your question so even though it's a while since your original post I thought I'd chime in. Now to figure if I want to bid on anything...

We are currently booked on the Star 6/23 out of Venice to the Greek isles. I looked through most of this thread but didn’t see any comments or experiences for that ship. We are in oceanview with bids on balcony and mini suite. I know at over 50 days out I still have a long wait to find out about the upgrade...anyone have any bid experiences on the Star to keep me entertained while I wait?? We were on the Star for a 14 day cruise thru the Panama canal in Feb 2018. It was my first time at bidding and I think I bid to much. Went from a BB balcony to s SC 2 bedroom suite for $750 each. reason I think I bid to much is that the bid was accepted in 3 days after the bid. However the suite was wonderful and I would do it again in a heatbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAYNECOBB Posted May 3, 2019 #3031 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Sailing on the Star in 10 days. We bid the max bid on 4 suites as soon as the upgrade window opened. The NCL website as of this morning shows almost the entire ship is sold out ( one forward facing penthouse and a few inside rooms are all that’s left). Does this mean all of the upgrades have been given out and that’s it, or could the room shuffle still be going on and they just haven’t notified everyone yet? 🤤 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacant suite at high end suddenly sold out, suite level below it becoming available. I assume this means NCL accepted a bid 36 hours before departure. The rules state that you’ll be notified up to 48 hours before sailing. The suites are the last to be notified as they’re still hoping to get full price for them up to the last minute.

It means currently sold out which also can have to do with lifeboat capacity. No matter what you will not get your rejection email until 48 hours prior, remember cancellations can happen plus they are still data mining all those pending bids for data for future cruise info, very valuable information to companies future bidding. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted May 7, 2019 #3048 Share Posted May 7, 2019 As I’m inching closer to my cruise on the Bliss, I’m starting to pay attention to this bidding process. My question is, when did this begin? My last NCL cruise was in 2016 and I just called to negotiate an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
