( continental breakfast) Nice to have carafe of coffee in the morning. There should be room service card that says complementary breakfast. Ordered coffee and decaf for 2 . We drink half caff. also, pastries, cereal and milk and juices. Perfect! Thank you Pat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Nclgetawaymenhoney Posted April 14, 2022 #1327 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Looks like not many upgrades this week, usually by each week their have been several upgrades for the coming weekend, must be because this upcoming week is holiday so the ships must be sailing full or at covid capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have 3 pending and I can still make an offer. We leave Saturday, not sure if this is usual or not. I’m assuming that tomorrow I see expired or the upgrade goes through but it’s right down to the wire. It has been strangely quiet on here though. Usually you hear people comment yes or no.

Krazy Kat Posted April 15, 2022 #1329 Share Posted April 15, 2022 It is a good morning! I just received THE email that my bid for an upgrade was accepted (surprisingly 8 days in advance). I bid the absolute minimum to move from an oceanview to a club balcony for the April 23 Bliss cruise to Alaska. A very nice Easter treat 😀 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashedpumpkins Posted April 15, 2022 #1330 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I received an upgrade on the Norwegian Jewel 4/17 sailing for $10 over minimum from an oceanview obstructed to a balcony. I bid a bit more, but still poor, for the club balcony, but oh well happy with the upgrade. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsammo46 Posted April 15, 2022 #1331 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Just got upgraded to a club balcony from an Oceanview for the 7-day cruise on Escape that leaves Saturday. Is the sparkling wine you receive in the room for everyone is a club balcony suite or does it depend on your latitudes level? Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcony is excellent upgrade for Alaska . You will be on the first NCL cruise to Alaska , out of Seattle, this season. Seattle will be happy to see cruise ships in harbor again. We sail the next week ( April30). Many in our CC group are waiting for upgrade news. Many cabins available so, looks like good chance. Have a great cruise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkate Posted April 15, 2022 #1335 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Just received the email to upgrade from Club Balcony on Bliss Alaska in July. I only had Haven choices so bid on 4 different cabins, fingers and toes crossed Edited April 15, 2022 by njkate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarae Posted April 15, 2022 #1336 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I am trying to decide if I should bid on a club balcony suite (from regular balcony) or catch them closer with a sale and see if I can upgrade next to nothing. Its a $50 poor bid right now, but I am in a room next to my friends, so I would down if we both bid. We both want to stay next to each other. I have no clue how to upgrade without paying too much. Few days ago a Club Balcony looked less than what I paid. We sail May 15th for Alaska on the Encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you won't get an upgrade if the room you want costs less than what you paid. At this point you might get some FCC but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally just gave it to someone. It’s worst than Baby Duck, which is bad enough. Put in a few extra $$ to buy a bottle of Champagne(not sparkling wine) at a store. and bring it on board with you, you’ll be much happier.

Few days ago a Club Balcony looked less than what I paid. We sail May 15th for Alaska on the Encore. We are going back and forth with the same - should we bid on a Club Balcony? We like the cabins but we have a balcony on deck 9 - mid to forward near the stairs. We booked that cabin because we know we spend a lot of time on deck 8/Waterfront/District Brew House, no wait for elevators being close to the stairs. So we put a bid on Haven suites only as we figure Haven access may make it worth being further away from deck 8 - LoL! Fingers crossed we get a Aft-Haven on a lower deck! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, we've had that sparkling wine several times prior, including on the Dawn in Feb. and though I don't pretend to be a connoisseur, I found it unpalatable. If it's in our room on the Spirit to Alaska this August I won't even pop the cork. Maybe others like it-different tastes perhaps. My opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get the upgrade offer on NCL.com, but never an email. Ironically, we did receive those nice heavy luggage tags. Only problem? They haven’t assigned our cabin yet so the tags just have our names and sail date. Somebody didn’t think that one through. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
