Bocadude85 Posted March 14, 2019 #2651 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) We received the email to bid to upgrade for our May 18th Spirit cruise, we are in a SF suite and paid a little over 9k for the room, they are offering the owners suite(currently priced at $12,600 ) with a starting bid of $500 pp. we didn’t bid as I am not a fan of the owners suite on the Spirit but thought maybe someone would find the information useful.

Win or lose I need to thank you @JamieLogical because I have used this thread and all your posts for advice on the whole process and how much to bid. 🙂 You are the bidding for NCL upgrades authority. Like you I was torn on bidding at all because I currently have an angled balcony. So thanks and I will let you know when the e-mail comes. hehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted March 14, 2019 #2653 Share Posted March 14, 2019 So tough to give up that angled balcony. I really wish they would break out aft balconies and mini-suites the way they have done with spa balconies and mini-suites. I might be willing to bid to upgrade to that since it's a guaranteed bigger balcony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I wish they were broken out into separate bidding categories the way spa balconies and mini-suites are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonzwinery Posted March 15, 2019 #2663 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Received my bid rejection email yesterday for tomorrow's (3/16) departure on the Bliss. Our original booking was for a standard balcony room with 2 people on the reservation, category DB. Total cost was $2892. I bid $1620 each ($3240 total) for an aft Haven room. The bid was in the "good" range. I did not bid on any other rooms. I figured it was a long shot, since all the Haven rooms were showing sold out. Oh well! Looking forward to hitting Miami Beach today! We got in yesterday morning, so that we could get 2 full days on Miami Beach before the cruise tomorrow! Looking forward to it! 🙂 Edited March 15, 2019 by lonzwinery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention from anyone receiving an upgrade offer for Norwegian Joy Alaska May departures. Has anyone received their e-mail yet. I am waiting for these too. I booked for 2020 (okay I am a bit over-eager LOL) and I would love to upgrade to the Haven but the pricetag was double that of the Family Balcony so I could not justify it. I do want to see what the bids will be as I see a huge price drop for basically the same cruise this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippoSail Posted March 15, 2019 #2665 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've seen a couple people say that they called NCL directly and upgraded for free or small fee due to drop in cruise price. If you do this after the upgrade bidding process, are you sent a new upgrade offer from your new stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
