GCS2000

Wife and daughter leave in 2 days. No accept bids or denials at this time but 100% certain nothing will come through since all suites on their cruise have been sold out for the last 30 days or so. Still hoping they get lucky but if not I know they will have a good time anyway.

This here. My wife and daughter would be doing the key in 2 weeks as well but its been $47.99 since day one of booking the cruise. Voom 2 device package they already have was only $18 so it definitely wasn't worth the extra money for the key (unfortunately).

Thank you for this info. My wife and daughter are on this actual cruise in 14 days so its good info to read. They are spending time in Paris next week and 2 days in Rome before the cruise departs. They have tours booked in both cities via The Tour Guy so hopefully they will all go well and avoid some of the lines. They are on RC excursions for all ports (especially Santorini due to my wife not being able to do the cable car and RC's excursion supposedly brings you by bus to and from the Athinios port) except Athens as we were able to find what appears to be a better one with shore excursion group and it was about $200 less than RC. Hopefully this will help with some of the line skipping you mentioned. Pretty sure they will be experience big crowds same as you especially since the ship appears to be fully booked (not many rooms left available and no suites at all).

All this info is making our year long wait more difficult. Hoping that NCL and the dock issues get worked out for the ports by Sept of next year. Wife is hoping we don't miss any especially Brussels. Glad to see you are having a mostly positive experience on the Prima. We have been considering cancelling our Prima cruise a lot just because of all the negativity. Of course the small gathering places, massive crowds in these small places are definitely going to be annoying. Current plans for us are to arrive about 4 days before the cruise begins and do several land tours from Reykjavik. Definitely planning for one of those to include the south coast as well as northern lights tour (if we are lucky). Good to see you had a good experience with your tour companies. And I 100% get the feeling that the $50 NCL excursion credit we have will be wasted as the options already available on the NCL planner seem to be at least 2-3X more than "googling" around is showing me i.e. $299 per person for a tour that seems to be about $120-$140 at other places. Definitely we will also pass on the FAS upgrade for $490 per person also. The only thing we would use from it is the unlimited wifi which on its own is crazy priced as well at $299 per person. May just have to be out of touch for this vacation (not a bad thing, lol). Keep the info coming and thanks!

100% following this as we are going on this exact cruise next September. Definitely like getting feedback on the ship itself and the tours you did since we are planning a few days in Reykjavik before the cruise as well.

What's the latest anyone has gotten notified of an accepted offer? Cruise is about 18 days away and nothing so far. Checking RC site there are no suites available to book at this time (yesterday there were 4 Jr, 2 days before that there were 4 Jr, 2 Grand, and 1 Owner) so availability is up and down for sure.

Before I get told - use the search function I did do that and cannot seem to find anything specific to this ship. Just info about booking shows in the app which of course I found out today that Q class ships there is nothing to book in the app but The Book show. Can anyone give me a brief rundown of what is on Odyssey currently (sail in 29 days)? A link to somewhere that has this would work as well (google is failing me). Thanks and apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere (which I assume it has).

Wife's cruise is in 29 days on Odyssey and the only thing bookable online was for something called "The Book". Nothing else can be done online or in the app.

Thanks bids changed. Not expecting much as I am only slightly more than the min bid (I think at $400 per person). Since my internet package was $280 for the trip it made sense to up those bids by $140 per person at least. I have a feeling my Jr suite bid will come through since I am at almost the max bid on that and not the GS or OS bids which is fine as the wife just wants the Jr suite. Granted she would flip for a GS or above but since those max bids are in the thousands of dollars each not just a few hundred (JS max bid is only $310)

So internet package comes with a Grand Suite on Odyssey right? If so I may up my GS Royal Up bid for what I paid for internet. Still doubt I will win but worth bumping the bid up just in case.

ok thanks. Moving to a suite wouldn't work us since that would be more than double our current fare. Maybe things will change later. Thanks for the info

Is this for Club Balcony Suite or something different? We are on Prima next year and wouldn't mind a suite at all but the Club Balcony just didn't seem worth the extra cost based on what I am reading.

nice work, wish I could get my wife and daughter upgraded like this. Cruise is in 30 days. Have bids in for reasonable amounts nothing crazy. Currently in balcony but wife really wants at least a Jr Suite. Would prefer the self upgrade like you but suites are still selling for 4k per person as a guarantee suite or $5700 per if you pick with nothing but juniors for that price which is still WAY too much for us. This is on Odyssey for a 9 night Greece cruise.

Crossing fingers for my wife and daughter's cruise in Sept. Low min bids for all the suites (what they want to move to from current balcony cab) so submitted an above average bid for Jr, lowish bids for all the others. Would be amazing if one of the higher suites is accepted but in truth the wife would be super thrilled just get the Jr. Max Jr bid was only $300 per person so not terrible IMHO. And yes I know Jr suites are much of an upgrade but wife likes the larger cabin and tub so worth it to her.

Following all of this closely. We are not scheduled for our Iceland to Southampton cruise until Sept 2024 and with things like this and all the terrible talk of Prima we are really second guessing the entire cruise. Problem is this cruise is hitting all the things we want and I bought when pricing wasn't horrific so I am less than 4k all in with the upgraded Free at Sea Plus. Really hoping these port cancellations and more importantly a lot of the issues with Prima can be ironed out before my final payment is due in May. Will be our first NCL cruise but I am not getting warm and fuzzy vibes from it that is for sure.
