Did you check to see if there are any Haven cabins left on your sailing? If so you still have a chance and even if not you still have a chance of someone not making the sailing.

rkennedy553 Posted February 19, 2022 #952 Share Posted February 19, 2022 sailing 2/27 decided to call them and they upgraded me to a 2 bedroom for less than i had bid on the suite so it was easy for me to accept the offer. Now my list shows only the owners suite as a bid option but ill be sticking with the 2 bedroom just to try haven for the first time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call, it won't cause any harm. NCL online for 2 bedroom was $2,000.00 more and they wouldn't budge on price. Bid $625x2 and won.

I know it isn’t always cheaper, just throwing out another option. For my cruise in May it was cheaper to just call for the upgrade, but yeah, previous cruise to, so put in a bid and also won! Either way, happy to be on a cruise 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TominNC Posted February 19, 2022 #963 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I guess I didn't get it. But I had placed a minimal bid, so I wasn't exactly counting on it. And checking each day was kind of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just called and all Haven cabins were exactly the same price. They weren’t budging and I’m fact one Haven cabin was higher quoted on the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great that there are so many staterooms still available for you! My cruise is still 21 days out and there are only 4 2-bedroom family villa with large balcony left. I have a strong bid placed but am worried it won't even be an option. I also have a bid in on the DOS but that is showing sold out at this point. My only other consideration is calling and just paying the upgrade for the Haven aft facing penthouse with large balcony as it would cost about the same as my bid on the 2-bedroom. Good luck on your bid! Hopefully you'll hear soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your assistance. Cruise well. We're on the Bliss in 21 days (3/13 Mexican Riviera). We got the email invitation to bid on November 14. Even though there were rooms available in all Haven categories (except the Haven spa room), we could only bid on a 2-bedroom family villa, a 2-bedroom family villa with large balcony, and the DOS. I was hoping to bid on the aft facing penthouse with large balcony but it didn't come up as an option. We're only interested in the staterooms with a large balcony as we plan on spending most our time on loungers (with good book and a good drink in hand). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was attempting to book a Club Balcony Suite and have the upgrade email hit me right a way. I guess that is not their system. Hell of an idea though. I guess I will get the email in the next week or so. Learning experience for me. Cruise well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked on 1/26 for an April cruise and was able to see upgrade possibilities within a day or so of making my final payment (early Feb), even though I still haven't gotten an email about upgrading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
