Thank you for any advice!!! We've been in a forward penthouse suite on the Jade...which I believe is the same class ship as the Gem. We've also sailed the Gem twice. I would say, absolutely.....without a doubt...YES. Bid on it. It's a great suite. :) Edited May 15, 2018 by Pete's Girl Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmtre2 Posted May 15, 2018 #4504 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The cruise I'm on is also sold out of Haven but I can still modify my bid for a Haven cabin. Why would that be ? I can bid more for something they don't have. Why wouldn't the offer just say bidding closed or no longer available ? I know what you mean, I can't go without my balcony anymore!!!!

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted May 15, 2018 #4506 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I have seen a number of replies that say that if your bid changes from "pending" to "processing" it means you have won the bid. I can tell you that this is just not true. My bid changed from "pending" to "processing" on the Tuesday before the Saturday cruise and then the next day it changed back to "pending" and Thursday night I got the email that I did not win the bid. So where do you go to check the status of your bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richstowe Posted May 15, 2018 #4507 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Having read through many posts on this huge thread I believe Norwegians Upgrade Advantage program is brilliant ! They allow you to play mind games with yourself , and lose .;p It really is well constructed by manipulating their customers so much more effectively then simply offering upgrade offers . By paying for the upgrade, you also get all the Haven free at sea perks. When your bid is that close to the actual price, it's a no brainer! Plus picking out your room, plus no chance of being disappointed. Congratulations on a great decision and enjoy your cruise!Excellent point !

boopsahoy Posted May 15, 2018 #4508 Share Posted May 15, 2018 We're sailing on the June 3rd Escape. Our bids were quite generous too' date=' but today I caved and just booked what we wanted. Our bids were only about $200 from total cost of what we wanted anyway, and once you've gotten to that point, and you're willing to spend $2000pp, you may as well pull the additional $200 and upgrade it yourself. I'm going to miss the angst....sort of. I was getting way too obsessed. Mock bookings, checking inventories, you name it, I did it. It was fun, but at the end of the day, I really wanted that forward facing penthouse suite. And with only 2 left....I bit the bullet. Maybe next time I'll have the patience. :')[/quote'] I won an upgrade to the forward PH on Escape. Loved it. The balcony was small but we rarely used it anyway.Enjoy!

You didn't feel like you missed out because of the balcony being so small? We had a forward facing penthouse on the Jade last year before it went to dry dock and the balcony was HUGE! We spent time out there because we felt we were wasting it if we didn't, but I'm wondering if that's the one thing we'll miss. You didn't miss it at all?
