Within a few weeks before the cruise date I got an email that stated "Real-Time Bidding hsa Opened" which basically starts a bidding war. But it does show how many bids are on that particular category.

Seems the cruises are getting to capacity. I am going on the panama cruise next week and real-time upgrade bidding showing over 100 bids on each category. But I appreciate everyones feedback. I will have to crunch some numbers and weigh cost/benefits! Thanks again.

That is a bummer. Any reason or opinion on why NCL won't let a person call and upgrade beyond the points upgrade to a BA and only have to cover the difference between the BA and higher room? If what you are saying correct, the benefits of having the NCL credit card is limited to 3x points on NCL purchases (non-bofa preferred status). And if that is the case, it would be equal or better to use another rewards credit card opposed to a point-per-penny credit towards a future cruise. Not trying to beat a dead horse, but really trying to see if the credit card makes much sense for those interested in higher than a BA. Thanks again!

Just clarifying... if i used points to upgrade to BA... are you saying I am unable to upgrade beyond that if I call and pay the difference between the BA and the desired (higher) room?

Question I’ve seen answered but I am still unclear … regarding using the points for upgrading to more premium cabins. Is it possible to use points to upgrade to a certain level, for example if I upgraded with points to a basic balcony. Am I able to pay to get say… an aft balcony B1. I think I’m read you cannot but I just don’t understand. if that is the case then it would mean anyone who wants something such an aft balcony or better cannot benefit from the upgrades with the credit card. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
