garycarla Posted October 24, 2017 #2026 Share Posted October 24, 2017 has anyone been upgraded yet on the pearl 12/30/17 cruise? I put in a strong bid to upgrade from an inside cabin to a balcony. I think that is WAY early for a bid to come through. Unless the demand for insides is VERY high and they have lots of balcony cabins open. It makes way more sense for them to wait a bit as they can still sell cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted October 24, 2017 #2027 Share Posted October 24, 2017 We just booked the Nov. 2l6th Getaway on Saturday; got the bid email today. We'd only go up to a mini, and would bid cheap, cause don't care that much. You don't get to choose the new cabin though, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they’d wait a bit, too, but I was upgraded last week for my Epic 12/30 cruise. Aft balcony to Have aft penthouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinteso Posted October 24, 2017 #2029 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just for other people's information. I am on the Dawn 10 day in January. I have a Deluxe Owner's Suite. They offered the Garden Villa for a range of $1250 - $5000 per person. Both GVs show as sold out but that doesn't mean much. Not bidding though since a GV would be a waste for just 2 of us.

ja2nowak Posted October 24, 2017 #2031 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just wondering if anyone travelling on Norweigan Epic Dec 9-16 has been actually upgraded yet? I put in an offer from MidShip Balcony to Aft Haven. No word yet... Good Luck Everyone! I have a bid in on a minisuite and a balcony from my inside and haven't heard anything. Good luck.

smashedpumpkins Posted October 24, 2017 #2032 Share Posted October 24, 2017 My inside room on the Dawn for 10/27 was just assigned to a midship deck 11 accessibility room. Now I need to decide if I should cancel my bid to balcony. Other than some foot traffic it sounds like an awesome room. We are always on deck 4 or 5. I also wonder though if us being assigned a room means we won't win the bid anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2NOLAcruisers Posted October 24, 2017 #2033 Share Posted October 24, 2017 My bid for a family suite (SJ) was just accepted for the Dawn on 10/27. Do I get all of the perks associated with this cabin just like as if I booked it or is it just an upgrade of the room only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the perks for the room, but not any other promotions (like dining/drink package or free internet different than what you got for the original room).

kitty-sail Posted October 24, 2017 #2037 Share Posted October 24, 2017 We are on the Breakaway Nov 26 and we haven't heard anything yet. Have seen others getting bids accepted for December dates but I haven't specifically seen the Breakaway mentioned in these posts. Do you know if there is an order in which room bids are awarded? I assume they start awarding Haven rooms first, then work down the categories. Does anyone know if this is true? It seems sometimes balcony move ups get awarded quickly.

Yeah, it seems like the Haven's are the first to know and then the big upgrade train begins with people moving to ocean views being last. Just my observation.

Kevin7kodak7 Posted October 25, 2017 #2040 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Anyone ever get a upgrade while checking In? 16 hours left till end of upgrade notice. Mock booking shows no more mini suite. But still showing GTY balcony left. Lol, 150.00 less than our OV price. But we did get 2 free at sea promos.

jandj1224 Posted October 25, 2017 #2044 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Today we are 80 days out from our Escape cruise and I just had the opportunity to put in upgrade bids. We are currently booked in an M6 mini suite with large balcony. I'm a little surprised at the minimums for Haven. We had upgraded once before on Getaway before the new system. I plan on tracking bids and availability etc. and will provide an update once process is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't ask what you bid, just what the minimum was. I'm on the Escape next year and thinking that I may want to bid on a Haven upgrade. Currently we're in a Spa Balcony. Thanks!

I plan on tracking bids and availability etc. and will provide an update once process is over. I believe the balcony & mini-suite upgrade prices are exactly the same. Don't quote me on that. Here are the PER PERSON minimum upgrade prices on Escape from a Balcony (BE to be exact): H2 - Deluxe OS w/ Large Balcony - $1,500 H3 - OS w/ Large Balcony - $1,500 H4 - 2 Bedroom Suite - $1,000 H5 - Courtyard Penthouse - $400 H6 - Aft-Facing Penthouse - $750 H7 - Forward-Facing Penthouse - $400 H8 - Spa Suite - $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missdenise Posted October 25, 2017 #2050 Share Posted October 25, 2017 SSOOOO......what did you have, what did you bid, and what was accepted? You know, the point of the thread? We were in mid-ship Balcony. My bid for a Courtyard Haven was in the upper end of the poor range and was accepted. The good thing I had going for me is there were alot of Haven cabins still available. There were 13 H5 and 6 H8 available, prior. That is something you might want to check.
