Less back and forward than NCL I typically use the big C to check availability but it is showing me far fewer cabins than NCL.com. Must be a glitch.

I just counted 32 available balconies on deck 8 of the POA, Dec 6 2025. Are these "all available?" We don't know, but there are certainly plenty to choose from.

Went from Oceanview on deck 5 to a Balcony on Deck 13 for $100 x 2 = $200.00 Cheaper than the normal difference in fare. Not a super bargain, but I am happy. Checked the deck plan and there is a floor of rooms above me. A little close to the stairs, but not that big a deal. I'm on a cruise! Glad to hear! I embark on the 13th. Single studio. Bid $75 (so $150) for balcony. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there somewhere on the POA Dec 6, 2025 departure that shows you more than 15 cabins per deck available in the same category? Here are all the categories on deck 8 and what I see. I count a total of 42 cabins available. I'm showing 27 balcony cabins. But no where do I see more than 15 cabins available in the same category on the same deck. What am I missing? Inside shows only 15 cabins: AFt balcony shows 11 cabins available Midship family balcony shows 1 Forward deck 8 balcony shows exactly 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe NCL does limit the cabins per deck, per forward/mid/aft to 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted July 31, 2022 #1839 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Could I be invited to bid if I booked a GTY and not a specific cabin? In the past we always had a specific stateroom booked, so I don't know what would happen without that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divincenzo Posted July 31, 2022 #1841 Share Posted July 31, 2022 They removed the option to select a specific cabin almost a year ago for my upcoming cruise, so I haven't been able to track cabins.

Keith.W Posted August 1, 2022 #1843 Share Posted August 1, 2022 We are currently in a HG forward penthouse September 1, 5 night sailing to Bermuda. We currently have bid on the following but not getting our hopes up: H5/6 , 475 EURO PP 900 EURO TOTAL HB/C 325/305 EURO PP 650/610 EURO TOTAL While the second bathroom/shower in the aft penthouse would be great for the 3rd adult , if we are unsuccessful we will cope. The 5/6 would be a dream but at the same time 900 euro could go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of like an airline seat map; there is likely less availability in terms of number of cabins than you see, because not everyone has an assigned cabin until the last minute (some people book the slightly-less-expensive "guaranteed" option where you don't choose the cabin, just the category, and NCL assigns you whatever they have left).

You are partially correct but that poster is looking at 12/25 which is 2 1/2 years from now. There are many travel agencies which have large blocks they sell and at a point will release them back if they have excess inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went out as far as possible to test the system for display limitations. As long as we can see rooms available on multiple decks, it's a lot better than NCL.com used to be, where they would only show us something like 15 rooms, and that only on one or two decks.

Rare wolft927 Posted August 3, 2022 #1850 Share Posted August 3, 2022 So I have a Question. I have won my last 2 bids for Haven Suites, but there where always cabins available in the Haven when I have won. So we are 57 days out and appears there are 13 2 bedrooms available at this time, and 1 forward facing. Has anyone ever won a Bid for a Haven cabin that said sold out? I am assuming existing Haven Suite guests would bid from a Courtyard to a higher stateroom category. All my bids are on the high end of Fair, and hoping there is someone with some experience with winning cabins that where said to be sold out. Thanks again for all your help.
