We board t when you dusemba4k, do you mind me asking what room and who your butler is. We are also in CS, last 2 trips butler has not been great in a CS

We had a 50% discount bid, never saw it on previous sailings. We have bid high for a suite we know is available and the suite is still available. The sailing just gone from Southampton had suites still available when they closed the bookings 48 hours before, I find it strange why they would sail with suites not filled.

There is no definitive answer, but from experience it normally means you have been successful if you can’t change or cancel, looking at your booking or credit card is first sign. Good luck

It was on the celebrity corporate website before edge class was created

Hope this helps see what comes with each suite (this is pre updating the suites but gives an idea )

I have successfully bid up before and as said I got the room amenities not the booking perks - so the retreat perks for suites wasn’t included - I had friends with classic drinks and tips - they remained with classic in the sky suite and has to pay the difference in tip . I have been in a royal in a bid up , and got the room ameneties - multiple Wi-Fi, we already had premium drinks but no additional obc we kept our original booking Obc

If it’s any help this is my view - it would be an amazing experience something you would remember for a long time , the fact you are hesitating I would say max bid is not something you are comfortable with , i would suggest a bid you are comfortable more than the minimum maybe around half and if you are lucky to get it well done if not you have a lot of money saved for another cruise oE to enhance the one you are on

Lots of people have answered for you in different ways, the confusion with move up bids is really around high end suites. in most bids you keep your original promotions , obc, Wi-Fi etc and just get room ameneties (ie if moving up to aqua you would get blu and Persian garden and canapés for example ) but keep your perks / promotion from original booking - I also believe you would pay the new tips (if you had tips as a promotion you would pay the difference from your original perk tip to the new top price ) the only time this gets confusing is in high end suites like the royal where the room comes with certain benefits like premium drinks , Wi-Fi , speciality dining etc - so you would automatically get premium if you only had classic drinks or no drinks ) any other promotions like tips and obc would be what you had with original booking. You would again pay the higher suite tips and if you had tips as a perk again you would pay the difference . uou also only pay for 2 guests on the move up even if more than 2 in the room so bidding 1k each would only be 2k even if 3 in the room . drinks in lounge and retreat deck are free so you would get those in any suite irrelevant of what you got with your booking . the question about captains club I would encourage you to register and add to your booking so you could benefit from day 1 of earning points which do give some benefits for future cruises . Good luck with your bidding

If you ask shoreside to stock fevertree light in your fridge, they can supply, they are used to many brits wanting FT tonic so do stock it for suite requests

As soon as it becomes available - I have received a move up invite for a cruise that is still over 2 months away
