123linz123 Posted September 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) After counting down for the last few weeks I'm passed 80 days, I've been so excited.... but no bid offer arrived, neither email or on MYNCL page.

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted September 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I never received a bid offer e-mail for our upcoming sailing on Breakaway. And then one day the link to place a bid just appeared on the homepage of NCL after I logged into my account. That was also inside of 80 days before sailing. The categories I placed a bid on are already full. Maybe that's the case for your category as well?I say keep checking the log in page and see if a link appears.

AtlantaAlly Posted September 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I have read here that some TA don’t participate in the bidding process. Did you book with a TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted September 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I have read here that some TA don’t participate in the bidding process. Did you book with a TA? This was true during the pilot period 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix1181 Posted September 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The offer to upgrade can come anytime after you hit the 80 day mark & not everyone gets it. Just like the criteria used to accept bids, no one knows how the decision is made regarding who does, or doesn't, receive the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ziggyuk Posted September 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I got my email 58 days before the cruise, in fact we both have NCL accounts and we both got the upgrade email, good job we did not both secretly bid hoping to surprise the other! It might have also shown which of us is most generous lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince_g Posted September 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2018 And if your TA got you a price lower than NCL's advertised price, you won't receive an invitation either. My online TA saved me about $770 over the NCL price on my next cruise.. I know I won't get a bidding invitation, but I'm happy with what this TA saved me. I have booked through this TA and paid the NCL price, and received an invite to bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theresa522 Posted September 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If I booked through a TA, how does the bidding process work? Will they contact her or will it still show up on my NCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie562 Posted September 17, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I got two e mails still don’t think I am going to get it bless November 3 I am on this same cruise and I have not received any notice of my bid either. The prices for this cruise had dropped tremendously over the past few weeks so im sure they are waiting to the last minute to see what happens with people being upgrade from interior rooms to balconies for very cheap.
