GINNY L Posted February 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I wanted to see if there were other people like me who enjoy the aft cabins and the larger balcony cabins and are willing to bid on these categories if they had them.

Rare JamieLogical Posted February 5, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have LONG wished they would break out aft balconies/mini-suites as separate categories for bidding. I was happy when they did it for Spa balconies/mini-suites, but really really wish they would do it for aft as well. Right now there are still 27 aft balconies available on my upcoming March sailing on the Bliss, but the prices haven't budged. I would happily bid to upgrade from my BA into one of these, but I am unwilling to pay the current $581 per person price difference from what I originally booked my BA for to directly upgrade.

I feel the same and so has a lot of other people that I talked to so I wanted to see how many actually would do it. Also, if they had these separate categories, they would get more people to bid who DO NOT want these locations. So if it was a separate category then they would not have that fear anymore.

tef43 Posted February 5, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2020 No, I book the category I want upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GINNY L Posted February 5, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Norwegian would gain more revenue from both parties, those who want that location and those who don't want to bid in fear of getting that location. They can now just bid on a balcony that is not all the way in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always book a category I am happy with. However, I would be even happier with an aft balcony, just not $581 per person happier. I might be.. say... $200 per person happier. So that is what I would comfortably bid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted February 5, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2020 None of the above. I rather it stay the way it is now where your bid on a basic balcony or mini could get you one of the premium cabins. Having premium (numbered categories) as separate bid categories like the spa rooms only gives NCL the opportunity to jack up the minimum bid prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauser Posted February 6, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We always book an aft balcony. And we have no interest in bidding for any upgrades. I subscribe to booking the cabin you want. I'm too particular to leave it to chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
