Can someone explain how upgrading works. I have booked through a TA, how do I know if there's been a price drop, and how can I upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

 

All your dealings must be made through your TA. If you ask your TA, they can check the most recent price and see if you can get in a better category for the same or very little money.

Our 12/21/14 Breakawy GTY Balcony price stayed the same. Checked my TA's and NCL's website to confirm.

 

FootballParent: what ship are you one for your November 30th cruise?

-Looks like you caught a nice price drop

We are on the breakaway. Sure sounds like my son lucked out. It was a no brainer. He had an inside GTY and was assigned cabin 5629 which is pretty crummy so for $108 him and his GF now have a balcony cabin.

The only prices that compare to competition are the inside, goes up from there. The suite and Haven prices are outrageous. We just completed a cruise on Gem and one scheduled for March on a Jewel and both Haven suites were within a few dollars of Princess Premium suite. Been looking at Panama Canal Haven was 8,200 before sale, 10,000 now as compared to 6218 for Princess. I guess it's time to tell Norwegian good bye. At least I will have two cruises before they went crazy! I guess buying two other cruise lines and ordering all their new ships have made them greedy. Too bad!

When is your sailing? Are you past final payment? That can matter.

 

You can do a "mock booking" on the NCL.com website.

 

Just select the same sailing, same cabin category, and select a cabin, but do NOT click anything about paying.

 

If the cost is less... and...

 

If you are NOT within final payment (that is, you've ONLY paid the initial deposit, and there is NO penalty to cancel), then you could go ahead and "start the payment process", but make SURE that you only put it on the 24 hour courtesy hold.

 

THEN CALL YOUR TA for help with the change, either with a lower price for current category, or for an upgrade at previous price, etc.

 

NOTE: You might lose any perks like OBC or other promos, but your TA could tell you that, or perhaps help you keep them.

 

If it IS within final payment, STILL contact your TA, and hope the TA can help you get an upgrade or some extra OBC.

 

Good luck!

Not travelling until May 2015 on the Spirit. So only paid deposit for a Balcony.

No OBC or any promos. UK based, if that makes any different. Tbh I am happy with the price I got, so wasn't looking for anything else, but reading this thread made me wonder.

Thanks for the info.
