pj-atsea Posted September 15, 2022 #679 Share Posted September 15, 2022 We have been pending for a long time, and our cruise is on Oct 3. Is being Pending for a long time a good sign or bad sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. B. Posted September 16, 2022 #681 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Mine for September 20 X sailing is still Pending but from my experience I often don't get an answer till 48 hours before sailing. I can't blame X for trying to sell all their cabins at Full Price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is being Pending for a long time a good sign or bad sign? I doubt it's either. I think they stay pending until either accepted or they expire right before the cruise. My last was accepted a week or so before the cruise, but there were a lot of rooms open in the category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am hearing is that for these super full itineraries, moveups are done the last few days. Since there’s no availability, they wait for all the cancellations last minute to roll in before they start reviewing bids and upgrading from suites on down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that while they are still covid testing and giving refunds if you have it, there are more last minute cancellations than pre-covid. (In May, we had to give up a perfectly lovely Aqua room because my test was still positive - canceled 2 days before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Veranda Bid Offer: 110/PP Notification Date: 09/21/22 Accepted / Rejected Accepted General Comments (offer details, etc.) Min bid for ocean view: $50pp, veranda: $100pp. The winning bid of $110pp was still considered weak. As of 17 days before sailing, it looks to be about 60-70% booked - there's a lot of ocean views (more empty than occupied), quite a few verandas, and several Celebrity suites still available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t worry they are not as bad as they sound, plus… they are no way near as obstructed as an inside cabin… for a couple of hundred dollars each it’s still way worth it 😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
