Bid for upgrade

[JUSRN]

Does MSC offer the opportunity to bid for an upgrade shorty before sailing?
Or does one have to pursue the upgrade with a travel agent?
when is a good time to do this?
Plenty of yacht club Rooms are available on my cruise in November and I’m hoping for a reasonably priced upgrade.

yes, msc will email you with a chance to uograde your room. The only big downside is that you don't get to choose the location of your new cabin but if you are not bothered about location then go for it.

Thank you!

There was another post floating around here the other day with some info.  Apparently they use the same third party as NCL but not much talk here about bidding.

NCL is the one I’m familiar with.

Make sure you are signed up for MSC emails or you won't be sent it. It came direct even though we booked with a TA. We were successful a few weeks ago on Virtuosa.

How do you make sure you are signed up?

You need to log in to your account on the MSC website, go to 'account settings' and then 'privacy settings' and tick the box to register for special offers and news. You can probably do it somewhere on the app too.
