Thank you wolf, I called NCL, as I had the same thing kinda happen. Mine was not compromised, But new card issued due to exp date arrriving soon and I didnt realize. So When I called NCL, I was informed that i did not have to worry. As If I am selected for a bid. They charge my bid to the room charge account. I was like, um, Thats the same card on file.. So by your posting, I was able to update the new card details and then resubmit my bids.. So thank you. I am trying to secure one of the haven suites. I cruise in 18 days, and I have bid the max on all catagorys except the Spa mini suite. Id rather pay the 200 dollar weekly pass. Fingers crossed. (reason I bid the max is my cruise is sold out in the haven.)

Well, when they open up, I will call in again today.. And try to book again. I did not explain in full detail my last comment about what they actually told me. I just left the points to keep the posting small. So a third party handles the bidding process. They told me, that this third party has a contract that requires a certain amount of rooms left open so that atleast certain amount of people are upgraded. Which thinking as a business owner myself. I would not go into a contract with the ability to not make any profit at all if the ship was to sell out, after taking bids and working for 2 or 3 months handing it. So this is my first time on board the NCL ships. We are on a cruise offer through the casino I go to, Which is the exact name of the ship im on.. (Kudos if you can figure that one). Im in a club balcony, total cost was 1800, I put bids on all upgrades into the haven except 2 bed and owners. But declined the club balcony spa also. As it would be cheaper to just buy the spa pass. Its the same room. Now it would make sense to upgrade me to the haven, if I am selected that way they can upgrade someone into my suite i currently have in the MA class. I was willing to pay the asking price. Which IS why I called in, I wanted to make this trip special for myself and my wife as it is our 10 yr anniversary. So I bid the max on all upgrades besides the owners suite and the 2 bedroom. I hope I find out I am upgraded to the haven. But Id rather just pay full price now and know now.

So I am sailing soon, and they said we dont have to worry about going live on my bids when i called in, there is only a few rooms left, but suprising not many bids have come in, and the lady i spoke to said while they are now locked out, ncl did it to have bids and let someone win atleast 1 of the haven, they require a certain amount of bids for the option of live bids, and they are not even a quarter of the required bid amounts.
