If you read the newest terms and conditions in your upgrade email you will see it says “Important InformationNCL reserves the right to not accept any offer regardless of offer amount or stateroom availability. Availability of upgrades is limited and is made at the sole discretion of NCL. NCL reserves the right to accept any offer from the time it is submitted to the departure date and time.” As well as on the website.https://www.ncl.com/content/upgrade-advantage-terms #5 “ANY TIME before the sail date.” I have been upgraded as late as the evening before departure and know others who have been as well. Thank you for the updated information this changed since my last sailing, I've never gotten a denial email anyhow, always been lucky enough to win my upgrade.

scubareview Posted June 20, 2019 #3453 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Ok, I was just notified at 12:12pm EDT today, Thursday for my NCL Escape cruise to Bermuda on Sunday of my upgrade to the H5 Haven. There was relatively high inventory available in the Haven on this week. We bid $840pp for the H5 (accepted) and $1360pp for the H4 (rejected). Both bids were at the minimum of fair on the scale. I was originally booked in a SPA balcony and we are both Platinum members. I think it comes down to the amount of the Bid, If I had been upgraded earlier I would say my Platinum status weighed in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidsmom Posted June 21, 2019 #3457 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Bid $60 ocean view (for 2 cabins) yesterday for Joy leaving Saturday and won both. Excited since we are traveling with grandkids and the inside guarantees we received were on 2 different decks. Grandpa and I were going to separate and each bunk with a grandchild. Ocean view cabins we won are next to each other and connecting. Life on this cruise will now be much easier. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfxthx Posted June 21, 2019 #3458 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Bid $95 for a Spa Balcony, Baltic Cruise with Getaway and it was accepted. Original stateroom: Balcony Guarantee (got BC) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadleysun Posted June 21, 2019 #3459 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have scrolled through pages and pages but haven't found the answer to my question so forgive me if this has been asked already... we are booked on a back to back and I was wondering if they take into consideration that we wouldn't want to change cabins mid cruise if we only get the upgrade for one leg....that would stink. I suppose if we had our balcony for the first leg and then got to move to a suite for the second leg that would be ok, but the other way around would be rather depressing... Also, if you win your bid can you decline it or do you have to stick with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wth182 Posted June 21, 2019 #3461 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Booked an upper deck inside on the dawn for 6/22. Offer of $110 for balcony was declined. Didn’t make an ocean view offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade process is handled through a third party vendor called "PlusGrade" and when you submit a bid, a bunch of info about you and your current booking IS sent over, but I don't think the fact that you are booked B2B is one of those data points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Greenpea2 Posted June 21, 2019 #3463 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It seems to me her hesitation is valid. What if her bid is accepted for week 1 but not for week 2? She would “downgrade” from her week 1 experience which is her concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say811 Posted June 21, 2019 #3464 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Bid on balcony and mini suite from oceanview on the Greek isles trip on the Star. Heard just now for cruise on Sunday both were declined. Bid $165pp on balcony and $205pp on minisuite. Oh well this is first time cruising with NCL and I didn’t even know bid process existed when I booked cabin so obviously we are still happy with what we booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think the current system makes any accommodation for this situation, which is unfortunate. It's an automated system and I just don't think B2B bookings are factored into the algorithm that is used at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eowyn13 Posted June 21, 2019 #3467 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I’m in a balcony on the Star leaving Sunday Bid on a mini-suite and found out today that it was declined. It was worth a try😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I figured... I will be really sad if I get the suite for the first leg and then have to move down the second leg, but I guess some is better than none! LOL I also would wonder if I won the bids for both legs if it might be two different suites and I would end up moving in the middle... oh the drama.. It's almost too much!

I didn't really consider that, but not a bad idea...I think I'll just leave all as is and just hope for the best.

Rare benkon Posted June 21, 2019 #3471 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hi! Sailing Tuesday on the Getaway and currently have a Spa Balcony. We submitted an upgrade offer for three different Haven cabins. My question is: If I already paid for a 4-meal dinner plan (it was not one of my Free at Sea options), does that payment get refunded to me it I get a Haven upgrade which includes all Free at Sea options? I could not find it in the fine print anywhere....thanks, in advance, for answering!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get upgraded thru your upgrade as advantage bid no you do not get additional perks, you only get your original perks plus you will lose your spa access unless you get upgraded to spa haven. If you google ncl upgrade advantage ffq questions it will also explain in more details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmirandablue Posted June 21, 2019 #3473 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I put in a bid for an upgrade for a balcony on the Jade for a 8/1 sailing. I had to get a new CC, so the one I used for the bid doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know if/how to change the CC I used for the bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the other poster was correct that if you are currently in a spa cabin and upgrade to a non-spa cabin you will lose access, as that particular perk stays with the room.
