Rare Nclgetawaymenhoney Posted June 28, 2019 #3526 Share Posted June 28, 2019 For all you sailing Sunday, your wait to see if you were upgraded should be almost over. I received my upgrade congratulations notice at exactly 2pm on Friday before Sunday sailing on escape last month! Have a lovely cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slauterbeck1 Posted June 28, 2019 #3527 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I received notification yesterday 10 AM that my upgrade bid from inside to a balcony had been accepted for the Bermuda cruise on the Escape on June 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted June 28, 2019 #3528 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I got a bid invitation yesterday, but we aren't sailing until Sept 15 ! ( Epic out of Barcelona). The notice didn't say how long the bidding was open. so does that mean I can bid anytime between now and around the 12th ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of a son of a ... Posted June 28, 2019 #3529 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Escape 6/30/2019 bid from B-9 to H-9 for $850 pp. Rejected. It was barely "fair." Kind of glad because $1,700 more on top of an already expensive cruise would have cut into my gambling budget 😀 I think we are officially priced out of the Haven (LOL!).

No guarantee that the bidding will stay open til Sept. 12th so if you want to bid, do it sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't-use-real-name Posted June 29, 2019 #3537 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Exactly 80 days from sailing - received the "Lets Get You Upgraded" email and website banner invitation. 3 categories of suites to bid on one is sold out and has been for quite some time. Time to put the feet up on the ottoman have a drink and ponder just how all this is going to fare out. The bidding meters are not slanted user friendly - almost at the point if I want to move up to next level of a suite - I should simply should buy it. Upgrading by bidding is paying too much. My previous experience has been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntenney Posted June 29, 2019 #3539 Share Posted June 29, 2019 We are sailing on the 6/30 Breakaway. We received our offer to bid immediately after booking, which happened to be about 80 days out. Having booked an OX, I bid on both the spa and standard versions of B and M. Roughly mid-fair on all. i tracked the pricing of that sailing pretty regularly, and read these forums pretty often as this is our first time with NCL (and only second time cruising). I understood that normally, prices for a sailing rise and fall depending on several factors. This one never fell, but ballooned to be very nearly double what we paid toward the end of its availability. Because of that I increased some of my bids to where they ended up being mostly upper-fair. 2pm came and went in the Friday before without hearing anything. At 3pm I lost patience and checked the links to my upgrade page. 3 were “expired” and one was still hung up on “pending”. At about 4 that changed to “processing”. And at 515 I received 4 rejections from NCL. Upon checking the bid page, that M upgrade at 205pp shows “pending” again, but I think that’s on the 3rd party side. Far as NCL goes I’m certain it’s a “no thanks”. Looking forward to a great week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted June 29, 2019 #3540 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Ntenney, if you haven't been charged on your CC yet, it's a definite declined bid. I'm looking forward to a great week and BA as well. Sea you on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DixieChickEmily Posted June 30, 2019 #3550 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I noticed there was only one suite left so called Norwegian (a nightmare to get through and then took 2 hours once I got through) but booked the last suite and went from a B3 balcony room to a SC 2-bedroom family suite for an additional $2,000. That is less than I bid through the bidding process and it is a for sure! Super happy I took the advice I read on this site vs. just pressing my luck. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
