Rare Cruiseforus0214 Posted April 13, 2017 #801 Share Posted April 13, 2017 We're on the getaway for this sunday sailing. What torture it is in those final hours to see if it's accepted. My thought though is for me to book exactly what i'd be happy with no matter. When I do the math, what we're paying total for the upgrade, is virtually the same for booking if outright without the upgrade. I think it's a lot of fun and $$$ they create and I'll more than likely do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted April 13, 2017 #803 Share Posted April 13, 2017 This would not surprise me. Airlines are considering a similar system for FC upgrades, some have tested. I know a few other cruise lines were considering testing this as well. I would suspect this email is also a test and may be limited to a single cruise or at most ship. Actually aeromexico does this. We bid- successfully on a first class upgrade and got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted April 13, 2017 #811 Share Posted April 13, 2017 If the cost of a Haven suite is $6000 and you jr suite was $3500, if you split the 2500 difference, you have a greater chance of having your bid accepted. I don't believe that a couple of hundred dollars is sufficient. It will depend on how badly you want the Haven and can spend. Having stayed in the Haven it is wonderful and a truly special experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryisme Posted April 13, 2017 #816 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Congrats! How were you notified? Thanks! I was attempting to check bid status via NCL.com but the teaser to upgrade was gone. Went in via the original upgrade email and saw the processing status on the aft facing penthouse bid. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boopsahoy Posted April 14, 2017 #817 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I just got the upgrade offer-thank goodness I checked my spam! Im in a CAS comped aft balcony. I really like the room I have but I would love to have the Haven Restaurant for breakfast and lunch and the priority embarkation/disembarkation. All my bids were "poor" but I bid what it was worth to me. I bid on H9 $600 H7 $600 H5 $600. I have a long time to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted April 14, 2017 #820 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Crapola.....I actually think I may have screwed myself when I bid on the Mini.....My bids on the Haven were good but I wanted a fall back. Oh well, I did get the Thermal for free so that's a little surprise for the wife she will like. It's been fun people, and excruciating at the same time dealing with this process. Have fun every one! I don't think you did. I had both bids on Haven and a bid for a mini for the Getaway and got the Haven. I just booked the Getaway last Saturday for the 4/16 sailingand had also looked at the Escape for your sailing. There were so few Haven cabins available for your sailing. Perhaps others had bid higher than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps others had bid higher than you. I think they go by the best offer, and in this case, the best offer was for the mini (even if the Haven offers were really good). That being said, we're currently in a spa mini and have biddings on H5 and H9, but will be perfectly happy if we remain in the M9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabres431 Posted April 14, 2017 #822 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I think it is best offer based on original cost of your booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabres431 Posted April 17, 2017 #823 Share Posted April 17, 2017 All of my bids have expired except one! The Haven Courtyard Penthouse with Balcony (H5) shows as processing. I believe this means my offer is accepted. My offer was $850/pp. How long until I get the email from NCL telling me what room I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
