Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted October 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2023 It's been awhile since I've sailed NCL so I'm not sure if there are changes to how we go about bidding for an upgrade. First time I bid on an upgrade, my agent needed to get an invitation and then she forwarded that invitation to me. Is this still the case? Does the "room upgrades" button in the app ever work? I don't recall this button in the past and currently it is not recognizing my booking number. I know it's too early to bid, I'm just wondering if the room upgrade button works and bypasses the travel agent or do I need to wait for the travel agent to forward me the bidding invite?

Yinster Posted October 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2023 All depends on who you book with as some TA don't participate in the upgrade bid program. Nothing to do if the Hutton works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do if the Hutton works. I'm aware of that. My TA participates. Currently the button does not recognize my booking number. Does it ever work? In other words, am I able to bypass the email from the Travel Agent and just use the new (to me) 'room upgrades" button on the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undecided1 Posted October 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My button worked. Are you past final payment? Based on my experience the button only works after final payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same message until I was passed final payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julig22 Posted October 2, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Bidding is usually available around 110 days. Prior to that, you'll get not found or something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeTec Posted October 2, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I am 104 days out from my cruise. & at 110 day I received my a chance to upgrade email. Now if I click on the button with my reservation number it shows the exact same as the upgrade email. But before that date whenever I tried to click the button it couldn't find my reservation 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted October 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 2, 2023 You have to wait until the bidding process begins for your sailing, around 110 days from departure, then the button will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, just so I'm clear. I do not have to wait for the TA to email me the invitation. At around 110 days I should be able to bid for an upgrade thru the app???

IF you are qualified to upgrade, you "should be" able to use this link: https://upgrade.plusgrade.com/offer/NCL/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
