Have you registered to the NCL.com account?. We never receive an email to upgrade. We have a travel agent. We go to our NCL account and there is a section there that tells you " let's get you upgraded" and that's how we do it. Good luck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, today i checked and our bids went from very poor range to fair and good range and still lots of availability so still hopeful 🙂 . We are on the NCL Getaway for 19 days in October. Did you change your bids, or did they somehow automatically change? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cartooned #3932 Posted September 5 I just got an upgrade message for our Pride of America 9/14 sailing inside cabin booking. Both oceanviews and balconies are totally sold out so it seems like it's just a tease, but who knows. I bid $80 for the (potentially obstructed) oceanview and $255 for the balconies. We would have paid for a balcony if it had been available when we booked so $255 per would be a bargain. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2cmu92 #3933 Posted September 5 This has been asked before I am sure so forgive me -- How close in to the cruise are upgrade offers normally accepted if they are accepted? First time on NCL and booked about 30 days out - just got offer upgrade on the site. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just went to look at mine and my page for "lets get you upgraded" is no longer there and I went and found the e-mail for upgrading and it said not eligible for upgrade. I do NOT have an e-mail stating any of our bids have been accepted or denied. So I wonder what has happened? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would call NCL and inquire, nothing like this has ever happened to me, so i would not know what to tell you. I wish you good luck, let us know if you fixed the problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I tried to call and I suppose the call dropped. However, in the meantime, everything came back 🙂 However, I don't believe my "poor, fair, good..." changed. Maybe a computer glitch.

My TA knew that I was eligible and sent me an email to watch for NCL's message, which showed up later that day. Good luck.

Strongest bid was 48 hours prior and weakest bid accepted was 5 days prior, supply and demand, so each sailing different 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For our cruise last Jan that happened to me a lot, one day it wouldn’t be there then the next it was. And it was different on my IPad vs my IPhone, the way I could view my bids and the range they were in. Good luck! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waverunner1 #3942 Posted September 6 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRGH! I'm creating spreadsheets, upping bids, lowering bids, checking inventory, tracking price drops, reading threads...totally obsessed! Funny, I have a balcony now but would be happy in a lawn chair! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nclgetawaymenhoney #3946 Posted September 6 Correct and if you read about 20 to 30 pages of this threads that is the norm. I have seen people get upgraded before then yes, but it's not the normal 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffd64 #3947 Posted September 6 Logistical question... re: winning bids... Let's say you win and are notified 48 hours before your cruise departs... Does that mean you will have to print all new docs and make new luggage tags? Interested as we will have already arrived in Florida 2 days prior to cruise... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
