skeeter195 Posted April 19, 2022 #1351 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Question for the experts here. We are on the Joy in May and have bids in for the 2 bedroom and DOS. There are only 2 of us. My question is can we add people to the reservation if we are upgraded? The 2 that we would like to add went with us in October in a 2 bedroom. 3 or more days prior to sailing would be enough time to get all of the required TA and covid testing done. Less than that would not give us enough time. I have in the past changed names in the room as close as 2 days before but I do not know about adding. I called NCL and got the "well that's a good question" response. I am still waiting for a call back from last week. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'm no expert, but generally speaking, yes you can add people to your cabin if the cabin allows it (cabin holds 3 and you only have 2) and if the cabins around you are also not yet full. Something to do with the lifeboats and assignments or something... We originally booked a 3br garden villa in February with only 3 guests, and were able to add on a 4th a few days later. Just had to pay the additional port charges and fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think you are allowed to do that. As others have posted and hinted at, even if it is allowed, you might be limited by lifeboat capacity. The aggregate capacity of all of the cabins assigned to a given lifeboat often exceeds the actual capacity of the lifeboat in question. In this case, the later is the primary controlling factor.

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. 🤣 I just received my luggage tags yesterday. Just 2 days after NCL told me they were not going to mail luggage tags out and I would have to print them out when I check in. It really is amazing how many wrong answers you get from them.

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. Can you do this? Bring a bottle onboard?

I got mine through this morning for 24th April. Minimum bid at £60 per person for a 7 days cruise from Inside to Balcony. It's strange. When I checked a couple of days ago there were 19 x 2 bed haven rooms available. It's now showing sold out online but my bid still says 'pending'.

It will stay pending until the bidding is all done, which is normally close of business the Friday before sail day, you still have a chance, didn’t sound like you got it the first round, but things will continue to evolve and change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
