Animalgirl27 Posted March 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I am currently booked in an oceanview guarantee on the NCL Sun. Should I wait until I receive a cabin assignment to bid in case I do automatically get an upgrade? When does the option to bid for an upgrade end? I don't want to miss that window waiting for the assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella2 Posted March 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) If you have the opportunity to bid for an upgrade now, no reason to wait. If you get a cabin assignment it has no bearing on your upgrade bid. You will be assigned a cabin in the category type that you booked (ocean view). You can alter your bids at any time up to 48 hours prior to sailing (assuming, of course, it has not been accepted). If you are not accepted, that is when they notify you.

don't-use-real-name Posted March 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If you wait to bid you may be out of luck for that upgrade - NCL may process the upgrades earlier than expected and especially if the guests are bidding right in the range or what NCL accepts. Don't wait get you bid in there - monitor it from time to time - you can change it higher or lower at any time up until it is accepted or declined. You can't win an upgrade if you don't bid !

Rare BirdTravels Posted March 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Bidding opens 80 days prior to departure. Waiting only minimizes your chance of getting an upgrade, esp if there is a lot of inventory available (they move people up so that they have “cheap” rooms to offer and fill the ship).

janice2348 Posted March 26, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Always do a mock booking before you bid. It’s often cheaper to upgrade directly than bidding. Edited March 26, 2019 by janice2348 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
