Minimum bid was either $100 or $125...been a while so not sure exactly. 3 days ahead of cruise for notification by email! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argyll1881 Posted June 11, 2022 #1552 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I'm waiting on an upgrade decision for a cruise on the Getaway departing on Tuesday. A fellow traveller has had their accepted but nothing on mine. I do still have the opportunity to increase my bid so I guess I'm not done yet.

tvlworm Posted June 12, 2022 #1557 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Could anyone please share the link to check your bid status? The banner to upgrade is no longer available for me on the app and I didn’t bookmark the link. I still have a little over two weeks until sailing and was hoping to check and see if there have been any changes to the room types offered etc. Thanks!

hopstepper Posted June 13, 2022 #1560 Share Posted June 13, 2022 We travelled on the Jewel on 23rd May. We booked an inside cabin and got upgraded to a "Club Balcony Suite" on 21st May. On the day before I could see that our bid was "pending" on that category while the bids on Oceanview and Balcony were "cancelled". We bid the minimum on Oceanview and Balcony and £10 above the minimum for Club Balcony Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda the Book Lover Posted June 13, 2022 #1561 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Great news for myself, daughter and granddaughter our bid for SJ cabin on Pride of America was accepted. We bid $600/$1200 total. We originally booked B1 an aft facing cabin. We are going to love the extra space. We sail on Sunday, June 18th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachmiker Posted June 13, 2022 #1562 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Just received my email informing me that my upgrade bid was successful. Was upgraded from a studio cabin to a Balcony room. I sail on the Encore on the 19th of June. I'm a first time NCL cruiser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped the Minimum bid on 5 or 6 of them. As I stated earlier I was surprised to get the email 110 days out. How do you know how many suites are currently available? We are currently in a Club balcony suite but received an email to upgrade, so I bid on Haven Aft Face penthouse with large balcony and the Haven courtyard Penthouse with large balcony.

CruisingCats5 Posted June 14, 2022 #1564 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Join the epic in 5 days and have bid for haven, can see there are 25% of the cabins left in the category so keeping fingers crossed and trying to hold my nerve not to increase the bid..

Do a mock booking and select Aft Facing Haven Penthouse. Then when asked to choose a cabin you can count how many are on each deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted June 14, 2022 #1566 Share Posted June 14, 2022 So Just a tip if you are bidding on Haven Suites and not looking to break the Bank. Typically Haven Suites like the Forward Facing will be a lower minimum bid and also a lot of people don't bid on them because they are not in the Haven Area itself. Yes the Balcony is very small, But the room itself is a great size. I won the Forward Facing Haven with a minimum bid on the Breakaway last December. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned on a previous post there is website you can visit if you are a SCANNER of the SEA. I would put the first capitalized word behind the second. When you find your cruise check the "availability and booking" and it will show what is available in each cabin class up to 15 cabins. I find it a bit easier then doing a mock booking. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieRoo Posted June 14, 2022 #1568 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Not much of an upgrade but for this Friday I went from an aft suite to a forward facing suite with a low/fair bid. It was kind of a last minute booking and the only aft open was handicapped with a narrow balcony so I really wanted to change my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at newly announced cruises and 15 is the max they show in any category. I believe on NCL they only show a max of 15 as well... I could be mistaken!

Daisy0214 Posted June 14, 2022 #1573 Share Posted June 14, 2022 We bid on a Haven Balcony and when I do a mock booking it shows sold out. I guess we will not get the upgrade. We leave on June 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
