That’s fantastic. Going on Joy in three weeks, hoping to go from a club balcony suite to anything in the Haven. Thanks!

So I called my agent to ask how you are charged my Norwegian card was compromised and that is the one I used to book.  My agent said that you provide the card after the email is that correct?

You can't actually change the card on your current bid, unfortunately.  You have to cancel your current bid and submit a new one with the new card info.

This is 100% correct. My card needed changing. Had to cancel 15 bids and rebid.

If your upgrade bid is accepted does it come with the Free at Sea if you previously don't have that package?

No, but you should still be able to add it if it's still at least 48 hours before you sail.  It's going to be based on your original cabin anyway so it's not like you'll be getting something better with the upgrade.

So you must be in an inside.  You can only bid up 2 categories.

 

I am on Spirit right now and there is only 18 suites that are highly sought after. Only sold out category 

I think there might be other factors that play into this.

 

I have a Family Oceanview booked on the Sky for a 9 day sailing. I have bid on both forward and aft facing penthouses. There was also an option to book the Owner’s Suite but the minimum bid was quite steep, so I took a pass on that one.

Yes you can bid. OV to a balcony or to a suite. 2 categories.

 

Those in an inside can book OV or Balcony, not a suite.

How can I check my bids?  I don’t have the email from Princess anymore.

🙃If your bidding for a Princess upgrade, it does not matter on NCL posts!

We received our offer to bid and we are currently booked in an inside and have offers to bid a OV up to a spa club balcony suite.

for those who get upgraded on the day of sailing and you are already on the ship, what happens to your luggage? How does it get sent to your new cabin or do you have to go old cabin to collect it and then move it yourself to the new cabin?

A club balcony quite is not considered a suite per NCL, it is merely the highest level balcony cabin.  It comes with none of the suite amenities/freebies/etc.

I am not familiar with freebies, etc., on the suites but I thought the upgrade offer for a suite and especially the spa and or spa club balcony suite was nice with the complimentary thermo  suite access and the larger bathroom.  Nice to have the opportunity of bid on these anyhow from a current interior cabin.

Do you mean it was full after you bid or before?

It was filled via the bidders.

Sailing in a few days i got my upgrade cabin today. When i place my bid i checked the box to use the FCC i had in my account. When my upgraded was accepted, they did not use the FCC and billed my credit card. any ideas on what happen? is there a specific fcc that works with upgrades?

If you get a spa room, I'm not sure but you probably do get the spa access.  You won't get the upgraded free at sea level (another free dinner).  You can't bid on a suite from your current inside cabin

We do have an interior and it shows options for a bid and it's listed as a spa Club balcony suite and another for a Club balcony suite but they do say thermo access.  Not sure why NCL calls it a suite when it's really not, cabin shows it is 249 sq. ft so a little larger than a regular balcony and the bathroom is larger but we'll probably do a low ball bid.  Hoping our bid for the regular balcony will be accepted.  The good thing we already have 2 free specialty meals for Platinum and then one for the free at sea for the interior.
