Bidding on an upgrade after paying for an upgrade outright - can it be done?

[slugg]

I just called my TA to upgrade from an interior room to a balcony. It was actually cheaper than what I had previously bid! Before upgrading, I did cancel my bids.

 

Anyways, now that I’m in a balcony, I figured I’d go ahead and put minimum bids on another upgrade, because you never know. When I went to go place the bids, my three options were the OLD options from

when I had the interior room, which are basically the balcony, balcony with spa pass, and ocean view. That’s not helpful. 

 

Is this normal? Do they not allow you to bid on a real upgrade after you’ve upgraded?

 

I turn to the collective wisdom of Cruise Critic to calm my nerves. 😉

Did you log out of your account between transaction and attempt to make new bids?  If you did, (this is just a guess) you probably need to wait for NCL to make their next update to their system and then try again.

When do you sail? I have paid for an upgrade while in the bidding process in the past and it took about 2-3 days (if my memory serves me correctly) for the new upgrade options to show. If you have at least a few days before sailing you should be able to bid.

That’s good to hear. We sail in about 50 days, so I’ll hust check again in a couple days. 🙂
