VegasMIGolf Posted January 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2017 How does this work? Does it matter if you book direct with NCL or through a travel partner? One post references a "bidding thermometer", is there a site that assists with these opportunities? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norway olin Posted January 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The "bidding thermometer" is part of the NCL Upgrade Advantage program currently being tested on only the Getaway and Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasMIGolf Posted January 15, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I am on the Escape, when will I be notified of the Upgrade Advantage program? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norway olin Posted January 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The emails come at 60 days from sailing. This is part of the page that the email directs you to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted January 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2017 This is so interesting. I see it as a way to keep the Haven prices sky high. The prices will never come down for all to see and book. NCL will use this program to sell the unsold Haven cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices will never come down for all to see and book. NCL will use this program to sell the unsold Haven cabins. NCL sells all unsold Suites today through their upsell program. Suites usually sail full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your travel agent has not agreed to participate (and many have not), you will not get a bid offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnsail Posted January 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi all, if you book through the casino would you be offered an upsell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utwofan Posted January 16, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi all, if you book through the casino would you be offered an upsell? We booked through casino offer and booked a Mini-Suite. Received bid email for Haven category cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfarri4230 Posted January 16, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I have called the upsell number myself in the past and scored a suite deal. However, I have never received an email offer. How does one get on the list for those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does one get on the list for those? Again, the new Upgrade Advantage bidding program is only for Escape and Getaway. The upsell department will not deal with you for those ships. All other ships are still covered, for now, by the upsell department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toola99709 Posted January 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I called upsell today for 2/11 Epic sailing. We had an aft balcony and gladly accepted the $1000 each charge for 2 bedroom Haven. Last Monday upsell told me to call back 2 weeks before sailing. Glad I didn't believe that. So excited about first Haven sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montanagirlalways Posted January 16, 2017 #16 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Don't forget to check junk mail and check acts for both people in the party. My husband did the booking but I got an email and found it in my junk mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
