Sevensisterscruiser Posted February 7, 2017 #378 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My offer also was accepted today. Email came in at 10 am. Leaving in 4 days on the Escape. We bid in the poor-fair range also. I do believe the amount for bids accepted are going to depend on the time of year. Went on the Breakaway last May and paid 1000 total for the upsell to Aft Haven balcony. We paid more this year for the same category, but we wanted it! No regrets!!

CRAustin Posted February 7, 2017 #379 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I went from a spa mini suite my bid was low in the fair range. My cabin was comped already. So. I paid 900 x 2 to move to Haven. Already had 3 perks and I'm platinum so I saved about 2k by bidding vs paying for an upgrade. Have the UDP UBP and prepaid gratuities. If you booked this outright total fare is 9k.

In Oct on the Epic went from an inside (was a package w airfare from CAS) comped out of Barcelona to a Forward Penthouse Haven 500 each. Then in Nov got the Garden Villa Dawn 2k for first 2 passengers and there were 6 of us.

Cool Breeze Cruiser Posted February 10, 2017 #391 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Sounds like we got lucky to get an upgrade to the Haven before the bidding process started. We got an upsell email January 3rd for our January 15th 14 day Breakaway cruise. We were able to upgrade from a balcony cabin to a Haven Spa Suite for an extra $500pp. for the 14 days. NCL definitely knows how to do the Haven! it was amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurileena Posted February 10, 2017 #393 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Call the upsell number and tell them you did not receive an email. I did that and the next morning I received it. Not sure if it was coincidental or not but it could be. Sent from my SM-N920V using Forums mobile app What is this magic "upsell number" you speak of? I'd never heard about it before today, and now when calling NCL they say they don't have an upsell department...if you didn't get an email you're not going to. Grrr. We are 79 days out.

mencyn Posted February 10, 2017 #394 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I received the e-mail Thursday and made a bid for the H4 suite. What's the furthest out they will tell you if they accepted your bid. Some of the replies on here are like 2-4 days from sail date. I bid low, does that mean that I probably won't win the bid. I never did this before, always called to see if I could bump up a category for additional cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBreakaway Posted February 11, 2017 #395 Share Posted February 11, 2017 we sail Saturday February 11th. Submitted a bid in December was notified today offer was accepted for Forward Facing penthouse suite Out of curiosity when you bid, were you in poor, fair, good, or great (red orange yellow or green)? Just trying to get an idea of what's possible or not. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkestBlue Posted February 11, 2017 #396 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi Everyone :) I am sailing for the first time on Norwegian in a few months, with a group on the Epic. Spoke with NCL yesterday regarding this whole process, and wanted to share what I found out. They told me the emailed bidding invitation goes out after a cruise is paid in full, and even though we are part of a group, we will get the opportunity to participate. I asked if others on my cruise (including a nice couple who had never cruised before, and not part of our group) who already received their offers to bid, might they have an advantage by getting their bids in early? NCL said it didn't matter as no decisions are made until a few days before sailing, so truly sounds like the top offer wins. Best of luck to everyone, and fingers crossed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
