Upgrade bid email

[Bettyboop66]

Does anyone know if there is any way to bid on an upgrade if your DH deleted the email from MSC? And he also emptied the “deleted” folder in our email………he’s nothing if not thorough.

The PlusGrade email link is very specific to your booking and incredibly complex.  I know of no way to access the upgrade system without the specific coded links.  I'm doubtful a MSC phone agent could "resend" the offer.   

 

Have you tried logging into your MSC website account to look for the offer, I know NCL does that, using the same upgrade administrator.   Otherwise hope that they send a follow-up email closer to sail date.

Thanks, I’ve looked at my booking and unfortunately don’t see anything. Hopefully, I’ll get another email.

If the email was deleted from your mail client on a local machine then it may still be available on your mail server that you should be able to retrieve using webmail access.

My DH tells me he’s looked to see if it can be accessed. But it is well and truly gone. I would think he was trying to save money, except he said he’d have liked to try the bid for the YC. Maybe I’ll get lucky and MSC will send another email. But I’m not holding my breath…..

How soon before the sailing date do the upgrade offer emails usually come in?

Why not give MSC a call and see if they can resend it or at least take your bid.

 

[Bettyboop66]

I tried calling, the agent said that I would need the actual email. I might try calling again tomorrow and see if I get a different answer.

We sail Dec.10, and we got the email just a few days ago.

We normally receive the email more than once before sailing, especially if we’ve not submitted a bid.

I am feeling a little more optimistic, hopefully we will get another email. Thanks to everyone for the help!

I can confirm...we did for my upcoming sailing!

We sail on 12/9 and just received our fifth upgrade email.  The first one came on 9/20.  Hopefully you will get another one.

Have submitted max bid on both Aurea suite/whirlpool and YC for 22 December on Euribia. Went on to the website to see if there is a chance BUT it states all fully booked. The interesting thing is that the max bid has increased over the past few days. I take this as MSC is testing to see just how high it could go?

Because they use a third party.

Right, data gathering.

We got three, all super high, for rooms not even available within 90 days of sailing.

We're sailing in 4 weeks and haven't yet received the email.  We're in a YC balcony so won't be bidding on anything but just surprising to not get it.  Our October cruise we had 5 or 6 emails starting 3 months before sailing.

They do ask for bids for sold out categories.  This is just in case of last minute cancellations they can make more money.  We have cancelled a royal suite on Celebrity a few years ago the day before departure due to my husband being suddenly hospitalized.  Outside insurance is a must!  We got everything back including air fare less the cost of the insurance.

Still hoping for an email. Nothing yet…….

[Jorhammer]

Got the email 3 times for our upcoming trip in 2 weeks. Last email I got was this week asking 11k pp or 4500 pp for the bids…. 

[Bettyboop66]

I got another upgrade email today😀

[DaKahuna]

Received an email today offering the opportunity to bid on upgrades for our MSC Divina sailing on 2/11/2024.

I was happy to get the email again. We bid on a yacht club cabin, fingers crossed
