My bids still say "pending" when I check them on the link from my Upgrade Advantage email. Don't lose hope, Sassy8282! I think they just rotate the banners. Sending you good luck for your upgrade! Mine too, but email still active. The min bid for H4 went down too $700 CDN -- what's up with that? It was doubled this morning? Other question, if you had prepaid your grats on a lower cabin and you happen to win the Haven bid -- do you have to make up the difference in grats for regular rooms vs Haven?

Now some of my bids are in the excellent range and even off the charts of the high bid. When I made the bid it was on the low side of fair. Now I need to decide if I adjust my bid or leave it.

jkburns Posted November 15, 2018 #1359 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Earlier today, my "Let's get you upgraded" billboard disappeared. Checking my edocs; my original stateroom assignment remains. No email, but I was sure neither of my bids were successful. I've been bummed all day. HOWEVER, tonight when checking my bid status via the link in my original bid confirmation email, I see both bids are still "pending". There may be some glimmer of hope...…... P.S. I sail on 12/1.

There is definitely a glimmer of hope. It seems that the links from the myNCL website, both the banner as well as the message in the inbox, have disappeared for everyone. I'm seeing this discussed in two threads, and I've yet to see a single person say they're actually able to see those links tonight. Bid processing is handled by Plusgrade, which is a separate entity from NCL. If your bids are still showing as Pending there, then I don't believe anything has been decided yet. I work for a tech company troubleshooting web issues exactly like this, and everything here would indicate to me the problem is with myNCL processing customer data to properly provide the upgrade links. It makes sense, since they seem to have rolled out several website updates today. There's likely a web developer or a database administrator somewhere sweating through some pretty serious overtime trying to figure out why they didn't catch this problem in testing.

When they drop prices for available rooms they also adjust the scale of your bid to the new “full price”, I was barely in the good range initially and they dropped prices and took my bid. Ended up couple hundred over the new lower price, with on board credits I got was only 40.00 over per person but would have lowered bids had I noticed the price drop.

Rare HBCcruiser Posted November 15, 2018 #1363 Share Posted November 15, 2018 So here is something similar - I’d love to hear perspectives: Sailing on the Star Dec. 21, 2018 Christmas cruise with Sold out categories. My upgrade banner and emails were gone today like many others have shared. Luckily, I had saved the upgrade website to my favorites, and when I logged in all but 1 upgrade category bid remained unchanged regarding where bids fell. ONE category, DOS, showed that my previous bid had dropped in status from high/fair to poor. All others were the same. What might that mean IYHO??

Tw in OR Posted November 15, 2018 #1364 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I am guessing that the bid prices are related to what NCL could get for the room you are vacating as well as the target cabin's value. For example, we're in an OX sailaway Jan 6 Breakaway, and the minimum bid on balcony was initially $25pp. Now, the price has dropped a little for oceanviews, so selling our vacated cabin would not offer as much revenue, and they have upped the minimum bid for us to upgrade. I'm keeping my grandfathered in bid, because chances are the balcony fare is likely to drop and we could just upgrade for the same price we've paid. There are so many open balcony cabins on this cruise, I don't know if they will sell them all. 4 minutes ago, HBCcruiser said: So here is something similar - I’d love to hear perspectives: Sailing on the Star Dec. 21, 2018 Christmas cruise with Sold out categories.

Another ship trip Posted November 16, 2018 #1375 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have never had the banner. I just found the email and bid from there. I wonder if I should call someone to be sure that I am not missing something. I have stalked the page every day for the last week hoping to see something. But haven't yet. I do show bids though by logging into the email. Never on the NCL site though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
