Did you go to the Move up page on Celebrity's site and see whether it says you have to wait until 30 days out? I did and it does say I have to wait 30 days.

FlorenceItaly Posted April 5, 2019 #127 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just a reminder to go into your Celebrity account and make sure under preferences your offers & communication preferences ARE checked. I am glad I double checked because Celebrity cruises was NOT checked. I know it was previously because I received offers late last year(Oct & Dec). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted April 5, 2019 #128 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Thank you. 😉 I took a look and mine was not checked. 37 days to go! There is not much left in inventory, and nothing to upgrade to for DH and I, so I doubt we will receive an email. I'll keep checking the link, just the same. After this cruise, I am unchecking that box. I received way too much email from Celebrity the last time I signed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirazcruiser Posted April 5, 2019 #129 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Is it normal for Celebrity to send Move Up emails 51 days prior to sailing? The Captain's Club rep advised that it had to be an IT glitch as the norm should be 30 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering since I didn't receive an email as I booked through a big box TA. Thanks for any info. I booked through a TA and received invite, however I am not your cruise. I found that you have to sign up for Marketing from Celebrity to obtain. On our first of a B2B I did not receive one then subscribed and got an invite for my second half.

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted April 5, 2019 #132 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It is possible. I received a hilarious move up offer last week for my May 17 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC rep checked my account and advised that all of my boxes were checked with regards to email, marketing, etc. He said that there should have been a Move Up banner on my check-in page if the offer was available which I don't have. He had no answer. I logged into my online account and all of the boxes were checked. It's a mystery. I just checked with my big box TA and they advised that they do not prevent clients from receiving upgrade offers directly from the cruise lines.

angiemom Posted April 5, 2019 #134 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Try putting "Moveup" in the search box on the celebrity website. The move up banner disappeared from my page but I was still able to view it again by doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rina155 Posted April 5, 2019 #136 Share Posted April 5, 2019 My offer still shows “pending”. Cruise departs in 7 days. Still keeping my fingers crossed, but if not I am satisfied with the cabin we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have observed that those who see pending are typically moved up in that particular category. Good luck! Please update us if you have a chance. Have a wonderful cruise.

Rina155 Posted April 5, 2019 #138 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It went to pending 24 hours after the bid was made. That was about a week ago. Would be a pleasant surprise! Will let you know if we win the bid and get moved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aruzinski Posted April 6, 2019 #146 Share Posted April 6, 2019 We bid $300 and went from a guaranteed balcony (which ended up obstructed) to a Concierge. Well worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth it. That sounds like a fair deal if you can pick the room after the upgrade. Anyway, most Concierge cabins are good. I upgraded from 1A (not GTY but hand picked room) to Concierge for a negative cost after OBC. The veranda GTY was around $300 cheaper than my 1A when I booked initially.

That is not so sweet even for a 10 night cruise unless your original GTY cabin booking was very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
