The room we ended up with was Cabin 9712, designated as a "Large Balcony Cabin" Category B6 by the deck plan. This differentiates from Club Balcony Suite rooms Category MB or MX. I was charged $300 on my credit card. From my amateur Googling, all indications are we were not given a Club Balcony Suite and, instead, simply a Balcony stateroom - but we were charged for a Club Balcony Suite. This is further evidenced that the "congrats" email says we got a Balcony Stateroom. We also had no double sinks, a feature of Club Balcony Suite. And the color scheme was green and not purple, the former of which is for Balcony and latter of which is for Club Suite. Am I misinterpreting this? Screenshots attached for reference. You are correct. Double sink is the feature as part of the larger bath. Call them or you may have just paid $300 for a bigger balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reading it the same as you. Balcony cabin, however, they seem to have charged 4 guests, not the standard two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. I would call. Don't let them refund you. If a bid is binding on your part, it should be on thiers. Free upgrade!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinKikster Posted October 18, 2022 #2429 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I got an upgrade from an Obstructed Oceanview to Balcony on POA for $105 pp in September. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbxlady Posted October 18, 2022 #2434 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We're on the Getaway leaving on Saturday 10/22 and don't have any bids pending, but our group in the other place has seen some bids getting accepted. One was OV to club balcony for $150pp. A couple of people went from inside to either balcony or club balcony but didn't say for how much. I can't find it, but I did see that someone successfully bid $160pp when the minimum bid was $150pp to upgrade to club balcony (I'm not sure from what, though). They all got their upgrades yesterday (Monday), so five days in advance. I haven't seen anyone say they received notice of successful bids today so far. On this particular cruise, the Haven has been full for about two months, so I doubt I'm going to hear anything better than club balcony upgrades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case Haven is almost sold out, only two categories available as of now. Good luck to you too, they may have not sent it to you because your bids may be good, just guessing.

I see today they dropped the prices on all haven rooms, hopefully they don’t fill up. Good luck and keep us posted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room with a view Posted October 18, 2022 #2437 Share Posted October 18, 2022 When a cruise is showing no availability on a Club Balcony how can NCL send an email offering to bid on a club balcony ? Do they keep club balconies back for this bidding for upgrade ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and people cancel. I upgraded myself to the Haven on our 10/22 cruise, so the only cabins I can bid on are penthouses. I am not bidding, but the bids are still open even though the Haven has been sold out for two months. You never know what can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierste Posted October 18, 2022 #2442 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Shocked, just got an upgrade email for our very full looking sailing in February on the Prima… went ahead and put a bid on a couple aft balconies, but am fine with what we have… direct upgrade is still a lot more than my bid. So we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rass2008 Posted October 20, 2022 #2444 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I had put bids in on Forward Facing Haven and Club Suite for my inlaws on Encore. Today, they got their Club Suite Bid accepted (70pp) and sailing is 4 days out. They had a balcony cabin previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbxlady Posted October 20, 2022 #2446 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Update on my 10/22 cruise on the Getaway, one other person commented on the other site that their bid was accepted on Tuesday (so four days out) from inside to balcony for $100pp. It seems our sailing had a fair amount of club balcony cabins and a lot of balcony cabins available because people seem to be getting upgraded to those with minimum or close to minimum bids. I know those nice aft balcony cabins and the Haven sold out some time ago. I guess there will be a lot of vacant inside and OV cabins. (When I do a mock booking, spa, club balcony, and the Haven all show as sold out as of this moment. I was hoping to see some last minute deals on inside cabins for the people who can hop on a cruise on a whim.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
