Correct - there is no flag available to a guest to set.  Has to be done in POLAR.  I have accessed a number of agency booking sites that setup a booking in POLAR, and never seen the option.  Have to have direct access to POLAR which means your TA or a Princess rep.

What is POLAR please

Princess' online reservation system that TA's and their internal reps use to book and modify cruises.

We are looking forward to #35 and #36 B2B in December on Sky Princess.  We have been upgraded several times over the past 25 years—some good, some not so good.  I prefer now to pick my cabin and stick with it.  I’m getting too old for changes!

That's interesting.  Is NO UPGRADE something that you can designate when you book?  In our case we're fine with the upgrade our PVP got us.  But the OP went from forward to aft and changed decks.  Pretty radical based on their preferences and needs.

You can't do it online. Your TA, PVP or a phone call to Princess makes that request. As noted by @Steelers36& others, it is not a guarantee.

We've sailed on 3 Princess cruises, all of which we opted out of getting a free upgrade from the various cabins we booked. However, does Princess have a program where you can place a bid on an upgrade, say from a mini-suite to a Vista Suite or higher?

No bid system.

Thanks! I had a feeling that was the case, but wanted to ask just in case.
