Also, you will have access to the concierge and a butler who do not share in the gratuities that NCL adds, so be aware that is an additional cost. Good luck on upgrading.

mispi Posted May 3, 2022 #1427 Share Posted May 3, 2022 NCL Spirit 05/07/22. Just got upgrade. Our bid from inside to balcony was at the poor/fair line. The bid was accepted and we got BA cabin in middle of the deck 11. Perfect! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no extra cost gratuity stays the same as you originally paid, it is your choice if you tip the concierge or butler, it’s not compulsory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valandemmy Posted May 4, 2022 #1431 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I just checked and it says no space available? is that because it is still 88 days away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argyll1881 Posted May 5, 2022 #1432 Share Posted May 5, 2022 No word yet on upgrades for a cruise departing this Sunday. Not sure if that's a good sign or not. I bid the lowest possible price for an upgrade from Balcony to Club Balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM012889 Posted May 5, 2022 #1434 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) The option to see my bids has totally been removed from the site and the app. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing?

argyll1881 Posted May 5, 2022 #1436 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Looks like they shut things down 3 days in advance - I just went to book a spa package and it isn't available now either - it says it is too close to sailing and now has to be done onboard.

So you cant make changes within 3 days? What if you want to change your amount? Oh well, waiting continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argyll1881 Posted May 5, 2022 #1438 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Just got awarded my upgrade from Balcony to Club Balcony departing on Sunday. Bid the lowest possible amount of £60. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Mr.G_ Posted May 5, 2022 #1439 Share Posted May 5, 2022 We're leaving in 3 days on Sunday. I got my upgrade this morning from Ocean View to Balcony for 90€ pP. I guess it's easy these days since the ships don't run on full capacity. Nevertheless, I'm very happy 😃 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I did not put a bid in after, I didn't think the price for a Haven experience was worth what I will pay for week trip to Vegas after the cruise (Flying from Ireland).

Caramel bunny Posted May 10, 2022 #1444 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I got upgraded today for a sailing on the Epic tomorrow. went from inside to club balcony for minimum bid of £60. Genuinely wasnt expecting to have 'won' on such a low bid. 😎🏝️ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sailing12Away Posted May 10, 2022 #1445 Share Posted May 10, 2022 We were originally booked in an MA and outright upgraded to an SD for about $1400 when the price kept dropping. Then just got the email about 30 minutes ago for our 5/13/22 sailing on the Star. We were upgraded from the SD to the S1 - the 3 bedroom garden villa. I'm in shock and awe right now. Not sure what the 2 of us are going to do with that much space. It's about 3x bigger than our home. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most were upgrades so minimum bids getting accepted more now due to low capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter195 Posted May 12, 2022 #1447 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Joy 5/15. I had 3 of my bids expire and one is processing, so I guess that is the upgrade that I am getting. 2 BR villa on deck 18. $10 over the minimum. I did a paid upgrade from a balcony to a courtyard penthouse 2 weeks ago when the prices dropped a lot. Then I bid on the 2 BR again. All said and done my money out of pocket is still $300 less PP then my original bid on the 2 BR before I did the paid upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter195 Posted May 12, 2022 #1448 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Just got the confirmation on the 2 BR. Funny thing is that all categories and some Haven rooms were able to be booked as of now. It never went to "sold out" or "unavailable". Hopefully the Haven will not be sold out on this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevil0208 Posted May 12, 2022 #1449 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I only booked about a week ago for the June 5th sailing of Epic. Have I likely booked too late to be offered to bid on an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergremlin Posted May 17, 2022 #1450 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Received an email this morning to say I have been outbid on an upgrade…. real time bidding has been opened on your cruise! for a limited time and on selected upgrade types, this special feature of the upgrade advantage program will notify guests when they have been outbid for a specific type. the haven aft facing penthouse is a very popular upgrade type and other guests have made higher offers. This is a first for me and I have only received it for this room type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
