We have bid on an upgrade departing next week.

According to other post notifcation is usually sent 2 days before .

We are leaving home 3 days before and will have printed luggage labels and e docs before we leave home.

If we get the upgrade we will have the wrong edocs and labels.

Do we have to find an internet cafe to print out new docs, we are staying in an apartment with no reception.?

I spoke with an NCL Rep about that exact situation and she indicated that when we get to the port we can ask the agent to print off new documents. Keep your luggage with you until you get the new documents!!!

OK Newbie here to NCL and Bidding process so please bear with me. We presently have an Aft balcony and were sent an email inviting us to bid on Haven Suites so we put in bids on two different categories. When we go in and check our status on bids it says pending but if I do a mock booking one of the categories comes up as unavailable. Does this mean they are reserved for the bidding process or does it mean they have been assigned already?

It is hard to know the process behind the scenes. I was told that as long as we are pending there is still a chance. NCL needs time to figure out how to make the most money on the upgrade offers so they may have the rooms reserved. The likelihood of someone booking a fresh reservation at this point is slim.

With great sincerity,

I appreciate that explanation and the screen shots. Very helpful.

 

I just checked the Plusgrade page again and loaded the desktop version... it shows our name at the bottom and instead of giving us the usual upgrade options, it now just says “Not eligible for upgrade”

 

Does anyone know if you get an email on the upgrade status in your NCL Messages inbox, or is it only sent via email?

Where do you find the plusgrade page? Thanks in advance!

Just curious if anyone who put a bid in for an upgrade into the Haven suites have been notified. I know it may be too soon and thought it would not hurt to ask.

We are sailing in 28 days and the waiting to hear is killing me! I bid on four different cabins in Haven, anywhere from $540 (Forward Facing Penthouse) to $810 ( for the Courtyard Penthouse). January 28 on Getaway. Anyone hear yet?

Sailing on January 28th also. We made multiple bids and have not heard anything. We are anxious to find out and have been told we may not find out until the week of the trip. - Good luck and hopefully we will see you in the Haven!

You get access to the ship’s thermal suite. Depending on the ship, that is access to steam rooms, wet saunas, dry saunas, relaxation areas with loungers and hot stone loungers, jacuzzis and large bubbling hydrotherapy pools. Some ships have salt baths and snow rooms.

 

On the mega ships, all facilities are coed.

 

No spa services (massages, facials, hair) are included. They can be purchased separately.

Thank you for the information!

Curious to know what the spa passes actually include. We have put a bid for an upgrade to a haven spa suite and can't find any additional information regarding pass inclusions.

I'm seriously debating booking a cruise for one out of New York for New Year's. I've never travelled anywhere alone before and I'm a little nervous about it. Would 'you' do it? I'm worried instead of being home alone this year, I'll be alone on a ship full of people :rolleyes:

Absolutely! At the last minute I was forced to travel by myself and it turned out to be the best trip of my life. That was 8 years ago and I still chat with an amazing group of individuals i met with on the trip. Go have fun, just be a little cautious with alcohol consumption so that you do not get yourself into any undesired situations. Get involved in a few activities, dont be afraid to strike up a conversation the the person sitting next to you on the sundeck or dining room!

Enjoy and good luck!

Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond.

To answer a few of your questions, I made the final payment by the deadline and actually called to inquire about the possibility of better offer/upcoming special as it was the end of the month. The agent was very clear that I had the best offer and there was no misunderstanding on my part. I do realize the agent may have said this to close the sale (as that is what they are paid to do) and it was my choice to finalize the payment.

Just for the record, I was just asking the question and "not bent out of shape". If I could not of afforded it, I would have not booked it. Saying that, I will make a call to see if there is anything is available. No harm in asking!

Hi everyone, I am traveling to celebrate my 50th birthday. I noticed that the price for our mini-suite has decreased and the extras have increased. Is there any options at this point as I have paid in full. I would have waited if I would have known. When I booked the NCL Rep indicated the price would not decrease? Any insight would be appreciated!
