MalloryRB Posted January 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hi All! I'm less than 90 days away from my first cruise! We are cruising NCL and I just received an email yesterday inviting me to bid on an upgraded room. We booked an interior room and it is offering me a balcony room but I have to enter an amount I'm willing to pay... Here is the language from the email. Has anyone ever done this before? Is there a price I should try? What is the average accepted bid? HELP! =] You are invited to participate in our Upgrade Advantage program, which gives you the opportunity to submit offers to upgrade your existing stateroom. This exclusive offer is only available on a limited number of staterooms on your cruise. NCL reserves the right to not accept any offer regardless of offer amount or stateroom availability. Availability of upgrades is limited and is made at the sole discretion of NCL. NCL reserves the right to accept any offer from the time it is submitted to the departure date and time. Offers are based on double occupancy. Only the first and second passenger on the reservation will be charged. Once your bid is accepted, the upgrade amount paid is final and non-refundable. The upgrade does not include any additional promotions. Current promotions on the reservation will not be altered. NCL cannot guarantee a specific cabin number assignment within the upgraded category. Your cabin number will depend on space availability and cannot be changed.

Rare Keith1010 Posted January 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2018 MalloryRB....I am thinking you may wish to post this on the NCL Board. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=107 Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I have heard of this before. Just be sure you know the present cruise fare of the category before you start bidding. You could accidently end up paying more than what that original fare was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpk2003 Posted January 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We just recently participated in this process for the first time, and we bid in the 'good' category and were awarded a balcony room from Obstructed OceanView. We found out about 12 days before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsTanyaNYC Posted January 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I sail March 3rd and I have am still waiting for a response. There is lots of helpful information on the bidding process online. Just know that it is a wait and see game(not guaranteed) decision can be made up to 2 days before sailing.
