Booked Gem sailing March 2018: Can I expect an upgrade bid email ??

Before our last sailing on Jade in Oct, we were prompted to bid for cabin upgrades, which we did. (no luck).

So far I have not received such an NCL notification for Gem, March 2018.

Should I expect this to come?

We'd love some opinions.

Maybe. Bidding starts 80 days from sailing. Not everyone gets the opportunity to bid. Not everyone gets the email (I didn't) but when you log on to your MyNLC account and select the sailing, you'll see a "Let's Get You Upgraded" notice that will take you to the bidding web page.

In any event, enjoy your cruise.

We are more than 80 days out, so thanks a bunch for the good advice.

We were on the Gem in June for a Canada/ New England cruise. We had two balcony rooms and neither of us got the upgrade invite, either on the website or in an email. Oh well, lol

You must be on a different calendar system than the rest of us.

Nov to March?

If you are booked with a TA, you may not get the opportunity, because some TA's opted out of the program.

How much do you need to bid if you do get the upgrade.....I did.

And, you check your email's spam/junk mail folder(s) so some servers filtered and group incoming emails & play "hide-n-seek" ... more than 1 or 2 CC'er found their email "Invites" to bid, in addition to logging into MyNCL dot com to check for yourself.

We had gotten them at 80 days but on an earlier 2017 sailing, got the invites at 50 something days. Last minute bookings with inventory of unsold cabins, possible to get the "open your wallet again & input your credit card" "request" less than 24 hours after full payment (since it's beyond deadline for cancellation) ... should be interesting with the new 120 days deadline for booking & payment.

probably a bit too soon plus remember you are most likely sailing during college spring break or certainly sprig break for some schools. The ship will most likely be sold out.
