Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Aqua, Concierge, Family Veranda Notification Date: Accepted / Rejected General Comments Minimum bid on all three. Having read reviews on move-up I began to doubt the wisdom of not knowing where you would end up (I know we booked a Guarantee originally!) so I cancelled bids. As I am not happy about having a lifeboat in front of balcony I have bid minimum again on Concierge . Not heard yet 13 days to go, will update Edited June 2, 2019 by janvic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked day one so had a VERY low price to begin with. The $1,300 pp was reasonable for a Sky Suite. I couldn't have been happier with the location, layout, etc. Do not regret this decision at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bid on Aqua on 5/17. On 6/4 there was a 24 hour flash sale with a price drop that allowed me to move to Aqua and keep perks, pick cabin and get points, and get the CC 1 cat upgrade so we withdrew. Two things to know. The day after we withdrew someone on our sailing had a bid to move to Aqua from a Veranda accepted for $180 and, the move up Page now has a slightly reduced amount if we want to try for a suite. SS - $900. Edited June 9, 2019 by LINGBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer was for all categories above our current stateroom - - CS for $400 minimum pp, RS $600 and PH $1000. We bid slightly above the minimum for all 3 on day the email came and then revised the bid for RS the next day. Day after revised bid, was notified that it was accepted. Cruise in a RS was fantastic! Only problem now is hubby is complaining about cruising in "just a Sky Suite" for our next cruise. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes/No: No If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: place winning category, if accepted (all category offers, can be mentioned in comments) Bid Offer: Notification Date: Accepted / Rejected General Comments (offer details, etc.) Minimum Bids were: Aqua: $50 pp, Sky Suite: $500 pp, Celebrity Suite: $700 pp, Royal Suite $1000 pp. Our TA already offered to move us to Aqua at no additional cost since prices have dropped, so no way were we going to bid to upgrade on that. We also love the location and size of the room we booked (6143; has a giant balcony, quiet location, and in the middle of the suites), and none of the Aqua benefits would cancel out giving up the room we currently have. This is also our first cruise ever, so I want the main dining room experience. I actually did initially place minimum bids on a Sky Suite and Celebrity Suite, but decided to cancel as I couldn't justify an extra $1k+ for a private dining room, lounge, and sundeck. Reasons being I want the main dining room experience, we already have a beverage package included, and I can't imagine we will be unhappy with the public sun decks/pools. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were fortunate to take advantage of price reductions earlier. Then invitation to bid for a move up was only $200pp more than our original booking for a balcony cabin.

General Comments (offer details, etc.) $100pp might not be worth it to some, but this cabin certainly cost more than $100pp at time of original booking. Even if the other perks aren’t worth it, we now have an unobstructed view and foot-rests on the veranda (though our other balcony was larger than average and I was kind of excited about the extra space) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
