And the highest bidder is…

Beginning Feb. 8, Norwegian Cruise Line will introduce a program called Upgrade Advantage that will let select passengers bid on cabin upgrades prior to embarkation and after making the final payment.

For instance, those with an oceanview cabin can bid on a balcony stateroom for a “nominal fee.”

Travel Weekly reports that after placing the bid, guests will be emailed if they won. If the bid isn’t accepted, you can improve or cancel it up to 48 hours before sailing.

The program will roll out on the Epic, Pride of America, Breakaway, Escape, and Getaway; other ships will begin participation later this year.
