Fino NYC Posted April 20 #3602 Share Posted April 20 First cruise ever tomorrow on the Norwegian Joy to Bermuda. I bid on 7 Haven rooms and 1 Penthouse suite, but I haven't received any notifications that I've won. What are my chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire ship is sold out except for one inside cabin. Haven cabins usually sell out first on ANY NCL cruise. You can't book a Haven cabin right now regardless of how much you bid for an upgrade. But, Bermuda is beautiful and the Joy is one of NCL's nicest ships, regardless of your cabin. I'd be hard pressed to thin k of a significantly better first cruise than one to Bermuda on the NCL Joy.

ChiefK92 Posted April 25 #3606 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Believe a lot of the Norwegian Jewel upgrade bids for the May 6 - 13 sailing just went through today. I got upgraded from inside to oceanview for $55 pp (min bid was $50). Edited April 25 by ChiefK92 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbeauty Posted April 30 #3608 Share Posted April 30 I just got the upgrade email for the Joy sailing to Bermuda leaving on 5/5. We booked a guarantee inside room because every other inside category was sold out. We bid $150pp on a balcony and it was accepted. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordicacres Posted May 3 #3609 Share Posted May 3 Wow! We just got upgraded from a GTY OV picture window to a balcony on NCL Jewel sailing 6/24/24 to Alaska! I really was not expecting it. Balcony rooms have been sold out for awhile now, and weren’t even available when we originally booked. I bid $260/pp, but to outright upgrade would have been about $3500. I’m happy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cianciolo Posted May 18 #3613 Share Posted May 18 Does anyone know what upgrade options are given if you book an oceanview? With a booked inside I have been given oceanview, balcony, and club balcony. With a booked balcony I have been given club balcony, suite, and haven. Thank you.

Xoxosnowball Posted May 18 #3615 Share Posted May 18 I'm anxiously awaiting to see if our bide is accepted for an upgrade to a larger room. I cancelled one of the four bids we made, since it didn't make sense to pay the additional cost (approx $1K) for a small upgrade (100 sq ft). But I would like an upgrade.

I had an Oceanview Picture Window on the Sky and got the option to bid all the way up to the Owner's Suite (No Haven on board). Got a balcony upgrade for 145. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportquattro Posted May 20 #3618 Share Posted May 20 Booked a Penthouse Suite on Joy from 7.14-7.21 and was given the option to upgrade to basically everything else above me, all in the Haven. All of my offers were in the Good range, some leaning towards the Fair side, so hoping to make this first cruise for my small family a special one. Im sure my 3k offer for the 2100 sq ft owners suite will get me to the top of the list, right guys?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, it might, but unless someone cancels their Haven booking, that’s where you’re going to remain. The Haven is sold out on that sailing.

jrt.mom Posted May 20 #3620 Share Posted May 20 If your bid isn't accepted and you want your family trip to be special you can take the money you saved and book some epic shore excursions! The memories you have from them will last far longer than those of your room will, trust me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I believe on a 7 night cruise, oceanview and below get one speciality dinner and balcony and above get two. Has anyone figured out the rhyme or reason behind some folks GETTING the extra FAS meal when their bid is accepted, but the majority of people not? I have had my bid accepted on two different sailings and both times received the extra meal. Both invoices show the charge for the upgrade, the increased FAS dinner Grat amount, and the change to the number of specialty dining. There have been a lot of other successful bids being reported in the Roll Call for my upcoming sailing, but no one else has received the extra meal. Being I am the one who DID get the extra meal, of course I'm not about to question NCL, but it really intrigues me to know what may trigger it to only happen sometimes. The terms are pretty clear that you do not get any extra booking perks when bidding to upgrade, so it has surprised me both times. For data: Both sailings were/are on the Joy and I went from an Int. to ClubBalc if that matters (but I don't think it shouldn't) I was/am sailing solo both times, however there are two others sailing solo on my upcoming cruise and they didn't get the meal. Again, not complaining 🤣 Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordicacres Posted July 27 #3625 Share Posted July 27 No idea. We did not get an extra meal due to upgrade in late June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
