Rare Analog187 Posted December 29, 2021 #626 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Update- we got upgraded. Balcony BA to Haven Aft Balcony- $900 pp We leave on 1/3 2 hours ago, Analog187 said: My cruise is in 5 days and it seems like the link to modify my bids has disappeared. I was going to ask how to find the link to check the status and then I answered my own question - check the email! Well I checked the email and clicked the link to modify the bids just so I can see them. All of my bids have expired except Haven Aft Facing PH which is pending. Not getting my hopes up just yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcony BA to Club Balcony Suite QO, bid $200 pp. Bid was medium fair, but we wanted a little more room and this bid was still $1000 or so less than what my NCL rep said we would have to pay to upgrade when I called. I'm very pleased. Low poor bids ($620-650) for "real" suites weren't accepted. Minimum bids on this sailing seemed higher than I'd hoped, probably because it is immediately post-holidays. We usually sail aft, this will be our first time on the side of a ship, but want to hang out on the balcony and get a good view of the locks as we go through the canal. My spouse is an engineer, and I suspect he'll be seeking out all day. 😆 Thank you for sharing in detail! How do you know about the bids that weren’t accepted? Was it discussed in your roll call?

Do you know if there were many haven suites left before you were upgraded? I think the minimum was 750 or 800. I kept it very close. Barely moved the needle. There were about 10 haven suites available as of yesterday. But I think there was only 1 Aft balcony so I was very surprised to get that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we were upgraded to MA, not QO. My bad. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romalley99 Posted December 30, 2021 #640 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I’ve been on Escape since 12/18 and heard about my bid for the next sailing (Jan 3) today. I had the minimum and not a dollar more, because it didn’t really matter if I moved or not…. But… Moving to 2Bedroom Villa Haven. Will be first time moving my cabin in 16 days, but I’m sure it’s worth it for a couple of days with extra space 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japit Posted December 31, 2021 #641 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I am thinking more upgrades will be happening since it looks like there are quite a few people canceling now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omyjamie Posted January 1, 2022 #642 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I think the next group to get upgrades is my cruise, the Getaway on Jan 5. We're all anxiously waiting!!! Dang Holiday 😉 Happy New Year all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omyjamie Posted January 1, 2022 #644 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I agree! Now i feel like my bids may be too high, with people likely cancelling. the Temp on the boards doesnt seem that high for people cancelling in the next two weeks, however I think most CC cruisers are avid cruisers that wouldnt cancel anyways. They are not the general population. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNcruising02 Posted January 1, 2022 #646 Share Posted January 1, 2022 We put in a few bids, so we will see how it goes. We are fine with the cabin we booked, but having a bid accepted would be a nice surprise. I will update when we have an acceptance or rejection.

onegunro Posted January 1, 2022 #649 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I just checked, and noticed all 3 of our bids are 'pending'. I have no idea which, if any will come our way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure it would happen today, but not looking like it. All four bids are still pending. I haven’t heard of anyone on our ship that’s heard.
