Norwegian will be launching the program on the large ships (Escape, Breakaway, Getaway and Epic) and Pride of America at launch followed by remainder of the fleet by the end of Q2.

Your booking agent will be copied on every bidding opportunity and every confirmation where a bid was accepted by Norwegian.
Here are some more details on the program.

What?

Upgrade Advantage is a new program which offers guests the opportunity to bid a nominal amount to be upgraded to a higher category stateroom from what they currently have purchased

Who?

Guests who have paid in full and have an email address in their pre-guest registration.

Guests cannot be booked in a Studio T1 Stateroom cabin.

How?

Guests are selected and sent an email invite to bid based on a variety of criteria including but not limited to what they already paid and the type of staterooms available on their specific sailing.
