Upgrade-just before cruise

[mking8288]

The rejection/unable to upgrade email notification go out right at the 48 hours mark before one's cruise's sailaway time (not boarding/arrival/check-in time) ... 2 days before, not midnight.  The URL link for "modifying" or Let's Get You Upgraded pop-up/banner will say "Expired" by then, if not already.  When we're on our Halloween Escape recently, it was still possible to modify/change our bids around 9 AM, Friday for that Sunday's 3 PM sailing time ... by 10 AM, 2 of the 3 links expired and the 3rd one transitioned into "processing"

(should be based on ship/port's local time zone, not UTC or EDT where Miami HQ is based, but YMMV)

 

Credit card hasn't been charged yet, no account alert on pending transaction but ... by afternoon/early evening, logged back into MyNCL account & the newly assigned GTY room # had been updated.  Just remember to re-print new eDocs and eLuggage tags as access will no longer be enabled 24 hours before sailing time (the following day, T minus 1.)  For those traveling during that 48 hours countdown without access to a printer, keep & use the "original" (old) eDocs for pier check-in to get thru port security (works for NYC) ... Geek/tech tips: you can using the new "Norwegian" App (iOS/Android) while connected to cellular/non-ship WiFi these days to access your "Vacation Summary" to see your new stateroom & other booking info.  The "old" NCL App only works when connected to ship's WiFi inTRAnet.

 Cruise  leaves on Sunday, three out of four bids say expired but one says pending.  Does anybody know is that a good thing?

It doesn’t say processing like I thought it would, and no email or cc charge. I figured it I didn’t get it it would also say expired but the pending has me on pins and needles! Lol

I’m just responding to a response that was intended to be smug itself. 

 

And my questions were for folks to let me know if they received upgrades this late in the game. Yes I know it can happen up to 47 hours prior. That wasn’t my question. I simply wanted to know others’ experiences. 

unfortunately i have had my own dealings this this particular cruise critic member and rudeness is a given, that said, My cruise is sold out and my bids still show " pending" so we will see, some people have said that last minute cancellations are possible and upgrades too no matter if it's sold out. I will be happy no matter what......

Got the unable to accept email for all four bids however the one still says pending on the website. Frustrating as I wish they would have just expired them all earlier! Oh well I’m still excited to go!
