Barnkitty Posted April 18, 2018 #4151 Share Posted April 18, 2018 May I ask what your bid was for the AFT? Poor, Fair, etc? We bid $150 over the minimum for an Aft Suite, which is still over $1000 less than the book price. My travel agent put in the comments that we preferred the AFT to the Forward suite. (She had the Forward Suite and said it was very loud and windy- and in Alaska, got chilly inside) We bid $100 for the mini-suite and the balcony rooms, which was about $50 over the minimum.

MayaLeera Posted April 18, 2018 #4152 Share Posted April 18, 2018 CONGRATULATIONS!!!! So excited to hear you got the upgrade after having the message/web/glitch thing happen to you during bidding. Have a fabulous time! Thank you so excited! I bid in the fair range less than half of the max bid. I got the H7 Forward Facing Penthouse 900 pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridaythe13th Posted April 18, 2018 #4155 Share Posted April 18, 2018 gotcha, my bid starts at 400.00 for front facing, 750 for aft, and 1000 for 2 bedroom villa - seems high :o I bid about half of what I would pay to just upgrade from my balcony to an SJ on the Dawn. If I paid outright to upgrade it would be just over $1,200 total so I bid $620 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gags9999 Posted April 18, 2018 #4158 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I am sailing on Breakaway on 5/29 from Coepnhagen. Originally had booked Sailaway Mini Suite. Just received an upgrade to Forward Facing Penthouse (H7). Winning bid was $1020 pp. That is still $3K less than what I would have paid for booking this cabin upfront. Posting my bid amounts below which may perhaps help someone (though of-course bids would vary for different sailings). Placed bid on all Haven categories on offer. My bids were: Haven Courtyard (H5) at $750 pp, Forward Facing Penthouse (H7) at $1020 pp, Aft Penthouse (H6) at $1120 pp, Double Bedroom (H4) at $1260 pp, Owner's Suite (H3) at $1510 pp and Deluxe Owner's Suite (H2) at 1760 pp. Only H7 bid was in the middle of fair section as I was most interested in that. And that's what I got! Before my upgrade got processed, there were 3 H7 suites, 1 H6 suite, 3 H5 suites and 9 H4 suites and 1H3 suite available. After processing of upgrades, current availability is 1 H7 suite, 1 H6 suite, 1 H5 suite, 4 H4 suites. H3 is sold out. Hopefully this helps somebody. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnkitty Posted April 18, 2018 #4159 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Well, I just looked at the upgrade page, and there are no more SC, SE or SF suites left. So then I checked my credit card, and nothing extra has been charged. But I haven't gotten an denial email, so I am still hoping!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaPanda1490 Posted April 18, 2018 #4160 Share Posted April 18, 2018 We sent in our upgrade offers to the Norwegian Sky. Minimums were very low, around 300s? We offered well over that 630-720+ and still no word back! I too did that little “mock” room check to see what was sold out and it says all the suites are sold.. does this mean we won’t get an upgrade? We set sail next Friday. Next year, we sail the breakaway an want to do the Haven. We sailed last month on the 10th on escape and did a balcony. We did a low big to upgrade and didn’t get it at all.

Ashmgorm Posted April 18, 2018 #4162 Share Posted April 18, 2018 So I did a mock booking for my cruise 4/22 on the escape and it says all havens are sold out. This morning they were available so it looks like they might have already finished those upgrades today since there were at least 8-10 available this morning. Has anybody on that booking heard back today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnkitty Posted April 19, 2018 #4174 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I was just talking to my travel agent. She said that a category may show as full, but then when people upgrade to a higher category, then openings will reappear, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
