Bettyboop66 Posted November 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Does anyone know if there is any way to bid on an upgrade if your DH deleted the email from MSC? And he also emptied the “deleted” folder in our email………he’s nothing if not thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Até Posted November 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2023 The PlusGrade email link is very specific to your booking and incredibly complex. I know of no way to access the upgrade system without the specific coded links. I'm doubtful a MSC phone agent could "resend" the offer. Have you tried logging into your MSC website account to look for the offer, I know NCL does that, using the same upgrade administrator. Otherwise hope that they send a follow-up email closer to sail date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the email was deleted from your mail client on a local machine then it may still be available on your mail server that you should be able to retrieve using webmail access.

My DH tells me he’s looked to see if it can be accessed. But it is well and truly gone. I would think he was trying to save money, except he said he’d have liked to try the bid for the YC. Maybe I’ll get lucky and MSC will send another email. But I’m not holding my breath….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted November 15, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2023 How soon before the sailing date do the upgrade offer emails usually come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulari Posted November 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Why not give MSC a call and see if they can resend it or at least take your bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettyboop66 Posted November 15, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I tried calling, the agent said that I would need the actual email. I might try calling again tomorrow and see if I get a different answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally receive the email more than once before sailing, especially if we’ve not submitted a bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Stem to Stern Posted November 16, 2023 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2023 We sail on 12/9 and just received our fifth upgrade email. The first one came on 9/20. Hopefully you will get another one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondthepalace Posted November 17, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Have submitted max bid on both Aurea suite/whirlpool and YC for 22 December on Euribia. Went on to the website to see if there is a chance BUT it states all fully booked. The interesting thing is that the max bid has increased over the past few days. I take this as MSC is testing to see just how high it could go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexddd Posted November 17, 2023 #18 Share Posted November 17, 2023 We got three, all super high, for rooms not even available within 90 days of sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDL Posted November 18, 2023 #19 Share Posted November 18, 2023 We're sailing in 4 weeks and haven't yet received the email. We're in a YC balcony so won't be bidding on anything but just surprising to not get it. Our October cruise we had 5 or 6 emails starting 3 months before sailing.

They do ask for bids for sold out categories. This is just in case of last minute cancellations they can make more money. We have cancelled a royal suite on Celebrity a few years ago the day before departure due to my husband being suddenly hospitalized. Outside insurance is a must! We got everything back including air fare less the cost of the insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
