Wait which Alaska Cruise are you on?

Thank you for the information. We couldn't lock one in (tried again today) so we locked in the 2-Bedroom Family Villa w/Large Balcony just to be safe. Withdrew the bids. This forum is simply awesome, and I appreciate everyone for the replies. Also saved some money because we were not aware of the Military Appreciation Program so got that applied as well.

I absolutely agree it makes no sense. But they verified that they do hold some rooms in all the categories specifically for the bid program. I know the bliss has less Owners Suites than other ships because the boat was built for Alaska tours with enormous forward viewing area that in their predecessor ships were rooms (mentioned in some videos I found). The status of the bid is still pending on both bids, so apparently still in play for the owners suite.

So when speaking to NCL there is only two of the Deluxe Owner's Suites with Large Balcony on the NCL Bliss. One of the two was sold already and the 2nd one was up for bid. They wouldn't let us just secure the one that is up for bid. I am hoping that we can learn soon if we won on the max bid because we have the Haven forward facing penthouse with balcony and if we don't win the bid then would at a minimum want to secure the 2 bedroom with large balcony (which we have also max bid on and verified it's $500 cheaper than just securing)

Anyone else on the October 7-14 Alaska Cruise on the NCL Bliss? First cruise and we just put in max bid for haven owners suite with large balcony. There are two on the ship supposedly. A few questions: 1. Some have mentioned monitoring occupancy and room numbers, how do you do this? 2. I have heard the bids are accepted via time stamp. If we were the first to max bid on that room, do we win? If so do they wait forever to notify us (or tell us we lost to another max bid?) This is on a room in which there is one left up for bid.
