Hopefully the "pending" will move to "processing"... Hope I didn't steer you wrong! Whew! Thanks for the information. Both of my bids say pending so I will wait for the processing word since it will be another 20 days until we sail. It is early yet but this is my first time bidding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have an aft suite on a quiet floor for an upcoming Alaska cruise on the Jewel. I’ve put in for an upgrade to a 2 bedroom. I’m worried that we might end up by an elevator or around noisy families (no offense, kids!). If you get the upgrade, you’re stuck with the room location, & it could be bad, right? Anyone regret getting the upgrade? The good news: we got the upgrade. The bad news: it's what I feared. We are directly across from the elevator and stairs. And the very end of the fitness center is above us. Nothing I can do about this now, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been talked off the ledge by some family members who have stayed in rooms by elevators and said noise wasn't a problem. And I found a Cruise Critic thread that says the same thing. So, I'm back to celebrating the upgrade and hoping for the best. Thanks, everyone, for the info getting me to this point. Happy cruising! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted May 26, 2022 #1506 Share Posted May 26, 2022 So out of curiosity, Usually the Get upgraded banner would appear 55 days out. Now that Final Payment is Due 120 days out for my 9 day cruise on the Getaway, will i get the upgrade banner sooner? I am booked directly through NCL.

You will love the bathroom and shower in this suite. Having two bathrooms makes such a difference. Looks like you are under the steam rooms so should be pretty quite. Have a great time in Alaska. We just returned from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacemanSpiff Posted May 26, 2022 #1509 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) A silly question -- and I did try to search for it, but couldn't find it. If one gets an upgrade, does one get a new set of luggage tags? If so, and they don't assign it until the day before sailing, what does one do without a printer handy to print them (i.e., at a hotel in port)?

It may have changed, but they'll handwrite luggage tags at the port as long as you've got the cabin # on your boarding docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hizzaah Posted May 27, 2022 #1512 Share Posted May 27, 2022 NCL Joy May 5/15-22 We had a Deck 5 Oceanview Picture Window (5110). Bid $100pp for the Club Balcony Suite. The morning of 5/12 we were given a "free upgrade" to a larger Deck 5 Family Oceanview (5182) and our bid was canceled. Entered the same bid and it got accepted the afternoon of 5/12 - moved us to Deck 15 room 15170. The other people we were with started in 5112, got the free upgrade to 518X (next door), then their resubmitted $100pp bid was declined on either 5/13 or 5/14. At check-in they were notified of a free upgrade to Deck 10 Balcony 10748. They were Silver level and had some kind of casino status so I assume those factored in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, we had the 2 bathroom haven on the Breakaway and the Bathroom and Showers was the high point with the floor to ceiling windows in the shower and by the tub!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ostrichman Posted May 27, 2022 #1514 Share Posted May 27, 2022 If you use the NCL Credit Card points to upgrade from an OV to a Balcony at the time of booking, will you get to bid on upgrades like you had a Balcony or OV? Assuming you only get the upgrades for an OV ... is that class of cabin allowed to bid on the Haven? I know inside cabins can only bid up to balcony, but not sure about OV.

ronheg Posted May 27, 2022 #1515 Share Posted May 27, 2022 If you upgrade using Ncl credit card points from on ov to a balcony, you will receive the email to upgrade to club balcony and suites and the haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsmeliger Posted May 27, 2022 #1516 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Still no word about our upgrade bids. It's late in the day and our cruise is tomorrow morning. Do they wait until you are actually on board before breaking the news that your bids didn't work out? #youcan'thandlethetruth!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
