It’s still too early for most upgrades to happen, unless you way overbid or they need that category to open up a soloist category the majority of upgrades are done 5 to 7 days prior to sailing. I’ve won all 4 of my bids, but received acceptance 5, 4, 3, and most recently last month on escape at 2pm on Friday before Sunday sailing. Good luck on bids enjoy your cruise!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deweytrader Posted July 9, 2019 #3602 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just got upgraded today for the 7/21/19 Escape to Bermuda. Originally booked balcony BF and got upgraded to Haven Aft H6. Bid was $1500/person. This was the room we wanted so may have been a little aggressive, still saved thousands over regular "retail" haven pricing... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drvmywifecrzy Posted July 12, 2019 #3605 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Is 30 rooms total (H5, H6, & H7) available about 30+ days out on Escape mean a good chance for upgrades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romalley99 Posted July 12, 2019 #3606 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Norwegian Dawn July 13th, 2019 7-Day Bahamas and Florida from New York Original Cabin: IA - Interior Minimum Bid to an Ocean View: $25pp Minimum Bid to a Balcony: $50pp I bid $50pp to Ocean View and $145pp to Balcony. Got notified today I won the Ocean View, $100 total. Assigned a OB category on deck 5. Overall, I am happy, BUT, I was hoping for the Balcony. I had only a balcony bid up until last week when I noticed the Balconies were sold out, then I put in the OV bid just to get out of the interior. Glad it worked out in some form. Even though it was 48 hours before. Robbie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojane Posted July 12, 2019 #3609 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Spirit 17th August. My original was an OX grade ( ocean view gtee) i got a balcony for £550 for the two of us which was the maximum bid. i put the max in as i really wanted the best chance of getting the upgrade and was happy to pay this much more for it. It seems to have saved me about £700 off the original balcony Guarantee price. Needless to say my silly offers for the suites were all turned down.

They don't turn them down until 48 hours prior, normally makes no sense for them to turn down a mid august sailing already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed a bit on the balcony and spa Balcony for this exact cruise/week and have yet to receive any notification. Now I'm worried.. I just checked NCL and its showing our entire cruise sold out for every room. Edited July 14, 2019 by Cariot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmom Posted July 14, 2019 #3620 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) 80 days out for Breakaway Western Caribbean. Booked guaranteed balcony and ended up on 9th floor in BD room. Bids for: Spa Balcony $ 75 - 400 Mini-Suite $ 25 - 400 Spa Mini-Suite $ 100 - 500 Haven (H7) $ 500 - 2000 Haven (H6) $ 800 - 2500 Haven (H5) $ 500 - 2000 Haven (H4) $1000 - 2750 Haven (H3) $1500 - 3000 Haven (H2) $1500 - 3000 Not sure if will put in any bid because I kinda like where the room is now.

Rare ceilidh1 Posted July 14, 2019 #3621 Share Posted July 14, 2019 In a dilemma over whether to bid or not....sailing on Bliss and currently in lowest category Haven (H8) category. I specifically booked this room as it has the bedroom separate from living room. I'm traveling with 2 kids so they will sleep on the pull out couch in living room. Bidding just became available and it looks as if the only other Haven categories with a separate sleeping area are Owners Suite (showing sold out for months), 2 bedroom, and aft balcony. Starting bid for 2 bedroom is $780 per person, for owners suite $980 per person, and aft balcony $375 per person. This is a 6 day cruise. My dilemma is whether it is worth potentially paying at a minimum another $750 for a different room..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero777 Posted July 14, 2019 #3622 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The 2 of us had an H8 on our last Joy cruise and it was great. Good size cabin with a dining table for 4. Balcony was smallish, but adequate. H6 aft is our favorite cabin with two bathrooms and large balcony. Some balconies are larger than others and floor plans vary depending on the deck level.

Aim higher -- the H4 room is my all time favorite but prices for those are way above my pay grade (even with bidding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
