HeyPorter Posted October 2, 2017 #1726 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Here's a question I hope someone can answer. I booked a solo for March 17, 2018. My friend decided to come and also booked a solo. What are the chances that we can bid for a room together? You can't combine two rooms into one for upgrade purposes. You could book a cabin you like together now with both of you in it, before final payment, and then bid on an upgrade if they become available. But if you don't get the upgrade, you'd be sharing a cabin. Some of the rooms the main bed splits into two though, so it might work. Also, I don't think studios get upgrade offers?

Why can't NCL combine two cabins for an upgrade to just one bigger cabin ? They would then have two cabins to resell rather than just the one cabin ?

They would then have two cabins to resell rather than just the one cabin ? They are not set up to combine cabins - be it two solo, two families, etc. If you are before final payment, you could call in and cancel one of the rooms and then travel together and probably book a "bigger" cabin for around the same price as bidding.

mringenoldus Posted October 3, 2017 #1730 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I suspect you are both paying a 100% single supplement. Since you are well before final payment, you should both consider cancelling your current cabins and book a larger cabin together. This would save you both a great deal of money.

Sent from my iPad using Forums Perfect advice, even if you are not paying the single supplement. AND - you will 100% get the cabin you want. You must remember, that most people do NOT get their upgrades. So, even if they allowed you to combine, you could easily NOT win the upgrade.

jpcdds6 Posted October 3, 2017 #1732 Share Posted October 3, 2017 We are booked in a SF Penthouse suite on the Pearl. Bid on an upgrade to an H2 owner's suite at $790 pp. Don't think I have a chance since it's down to the last cabin and I booked my SF a long time ago with great perks at only $1,749 pp. But for that price it would be a major steal.

cbeilman Posted October 3, 2017 #1735 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Booked an inside room on the Jade 10 day cruise on Dec 18. Put in our bid on Friday for less than $150 each, and today I got an email that it has been accepted! I'm really surprised as we weren't expecting much since our bid range was in the "poor" category! I'm also surprised we heard back so soon (only 2 business days after!) Edited October 3, 2017 by cbeilman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucyintheskywithdiamonds Posted October 4, 2017 #1747 Share Posted October 4, 2017 hey guys. I am getting upgraded to a balcony, but not through the bidding process, i called my TA. from OV to Guarantee balcony for $240/2 people plus $40 more for insurance.. the next day I received an invite from NCL to upgrade to Haven through the bidding process, but I'm not interested. So my bid is cancelled! :) So the fun of waiting for the accepted bid is over..lol.. now i can wonder where oh where will my balcony be!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAustin Posted October 4, 2017 #1748 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Just cancelled my advantage bids for Pearl 9 day out of NO 11/10/17. The priced dropped so much was cheaper to upgrade from my comped SE to an H4 Haven 2 bedroom total cost with bump on OBC was 14 bucks way better than the 1200 I was willing to pay to upgrade. Watch prices sometimes it is cheaper to just move! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NisseP Posted October 4, 2017 #1749 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Just received confirmation of successful upgrade from sail away inside rate to spa balcony room for $100pp for the Getaway transatlantic on Oct 15th. Very excited!
