Do you lose perks offered by online travel agency if upgrading?

[llcruisers]

Sorry - this might be a dumb question but do you lose any perks offered by your online travel agency if you bid for an upgrade through Upgrade Advantage?  We received prepaid gratuities and a minimal onboard credit by booking thru one of the large online travel agencies.  We are in a sailaway balcony and wanting to bid for a spa balcony or mini-suite but don't want to lose my perks.

You need to ask the agent

not to mention asking the agent if they even participate in the Advantage Upgrade Program..... some opt out

With a sailaway balcony you will not get an offer to bid, and you won't lose any perks since sailaway rates don't have perks.

Your online travel agency owns your booking - NCL will only deal with them.

I called my online travel agency and they said I would not lose any perks if I received an upgrade through NCL's Upgrade Advantage program.  I did receive an email from NCL to bid on a upgrade.  I can upgrade to a Haven cabin, spa balcony, spa mini-suite and a couple other cabin categories.  I already got assigned my sailaway balcony for my March 24 sailing.  I'm looking to bid on the spa mini-suite or spa balcony.  Can I put in a bid for both?  What happens it they accept both bids or does NCL know to only accept one?  New to this bidding for upgrade process so I appreciate any insight.  I did read the FAQs on it.

They will only offer one upgrade, not both and according to our TA you do not lose your perks if your bid is accepted. If your TA said this, trust him or her.

Since the perks are from your TA get it in writing from them, just in case they info they gave you is wrong.
