When we booked Oceanview Cabins were a very good deal with Verandas and above selling for more than most on a 7 day cruise. Even though the ship is showing as sold out our offer allowed us to bid on a Veranda, Family Veranda, Concierge and Aqua. I bid the max ($135 CDN) on the Veranda, $180 on the Family Veranda and $250 on Aqua. I received an e-mail Monday that my bid for a Veranda had been accepted and was assigned a partially obstructed 2B. Not it sure it matters but I’m Elite and booked directly with X. Overall I’m pleased. Not the best Veranda but my cost to bid was significantly less than it would have been to have booked a Veranda originally. Are 2B obstructed now? I thought only 2D and 2C had obstructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm booked on the Infinity, some of the 2B cabins have minor obstructions. I believe you are thinking of the S-Class ships where only the 2D and 2C have obstructions.

korryp Posted March 11, 2019 #328 Share Posted March 11, 2019 You don't need an email from Celebrity to use the Move Up Bidding process. Here is a valid lin that a friend sent me and I used it to win an upgrade from Concierge to Sky Suite. https://www.celebritycruises.com/bid-on-cruise-room-upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedog13 Posted March 13, 2019 #329 Share Posted March 13, 2019 We are in an S2 for Silhouette 3/15/19. Got offers for Penthouse, Royal and Celebrity. At 48 hours we were notified that none of our bids were excepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sixth? Posted March 14, 2019 #330 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Dumb question and sorry I didn't read the entire thread, but are all your "goodies" left intact if you win a bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBB bundled pricing perks stay the same as do the CC points. The benefits associated with the cabin category change to the ones associated with the new booking category.

I find it annoying that should one win a move up bid, one pays the higher gratuities (which I think is quite fair) but do not receive the higher CC points.

It says I can bid on an upgrade. So I clicked on the upgrade link and check veranda, since we are booked in an ocean view. The LOWEST it will let me "bid" is $400 per person. What? You want me to pay another $800 to move up from an outside to a veranda? That's crazy. Has anyone used this before? Indeed, from AQ to Sky Suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed will advise Yes, it’s now available this side of the pond and is applicable to TA bookings as well as direct with X. Unless it’s a top suite (where the location will be good wherever), you have to be happy that you may be assigned with the worse cabin in the particular category you have bid on. If you are happy with that, together with the price, then all is good 😉. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade999 Posted April 14, 2019 #339 Share Posted April 14, 2019 If you have booked a GTY are you likely to still get an email? We have booked a GTY suite for a sailing as it was the only suite left and would be interested in bidding up if we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had booked a SS Guarantee just after final payment and after more than two months still did not have a cabin assignment. I received a move-up offer for CS, RS and PS. I bid on the RS and the offer was accepted. The RS cabin was immediately assigned but it took 24 hours before the luggage tags were available to order or print.

FmlyCrsr Posted April 15, 2019 #345 Share Posted April 15, 2019 How long before the cruise did you get your move ups accepted or declined? Do they really only do it 48 hours in advanceor is there a chance that we get informed before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a friend that flew to Rome one week early then found out a day or so later he had won on his bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydbarrett Posted April 16, 2019 #347 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Can you upgrade if you've picked a specific cabin number, or only GTY? I've saved the Move Up link for when I'm 30 days out 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted April 16, 2019 #348 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Yes, you can bid to move up if you have a cabin assignment. It is not only for GTYs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowingmachine Posted April 16, 2019 #349 Share Posted April 16, 2019 UK booking. First time Celebrity. It's a bid of fun if you bid cheap. Like Premium Bonds you don't lose your stake (unless you win) and like a bet on the Grand National (UK horse race) nobody really knows which one is going to win. Adds of touch of piquancy to the last few weeks before a cruise. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
