• Ship Beyond
• Length of Cruise: 7 Nights
• Cruise Sail Date: November 13
• Date email offer received: August 30 
• Captain’s Club Tier : Classic
• Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: Celebrity
• Current Cabin: Sky Suite (S1)
• Bid?  Yes/No: No   Strongly considered a few but decided to throw that extra money towards increasing our cabin for 2024 Beyond cruise, or 2025 Ascent when finally available. 

 

General Comments :  Minimum bid for each category (in CAD $) per person 

Iconic Suite: $7,045 pp

Penthouse Suite: $2,000 pp

Edge Villa: $3,000 pp

Royal Suite: $2,000 pp

Celebrity Suite: $1,500 pp

AquaClass SkySuite: $400 pp

 

I am curious if the mins are different for others in S1 on same cruise.  We booked this when Beyond first became available online so we got the lowest possible price (I check daily and has never even come close).

 

So I caved and bid for the Aquaclass SkySuite.  First bid was min of $400 per person.  I *immediately* got an email that I had been outbid. 

 

I went back in, cancelled and re-bid (wasn't letting me modify) and I did $500.  Still a very weak offer.   Online shows 4 AQ SS currently available.

 

Main page says Offer Received, and when I click on that it says "Pending".  No emails that I have been outbid.  Yet.    

 

If I get a promotion or better job offer before that cruise, I'm bidding on the EV and RS 😉

• Date email offer received: N/A, accessed through Move Up page
• Captain’s Club Tier [“PREVIEW” = first Celebrity Cruise]: Classic
• Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: Celebrity Blue Chip Club, Comp Cruise
• Current Cabin: Sunset Veranda (SV)
• Bid?  Yes/No: No

General Comments (offer details, etc.)

Min bid amounts, per guest, as follows:

• Edge Villa - $4,000
• Royal Suite - $3,000
• Celebrity Suite - $2,000
• Sky Suite - $1,000
• Aqua - $200
• Concierge - $100

 

We got this cruise as a comp through the Blue Chip Club with no perks, so we were curious what the min bid would be for a sky suite.  $1,000 per person is just too high for us at the moment.

I never received and email to upgrade, and when I went on the website and put in my info nothing came up.  I emailed them to inquire as to why I didn't receive an offer and 2 days letter I get an email with offers.  This may be because I am part of a group booking.  No one in my group that I know received an offer email.  I'm relatively happy with my current cabin, but if I can upgrade to Concierge for $120 then it's a great deal.  I do not have high hopes for any upgrade.  Current price for a Sunset Veranda is about $1,700 more than I paid, and $2,100 more for the Concierge or Aqua class.

I had this issue, too. It wouldn't take my bid but allowed me to bid in my wife's name. Go figure...

Not sure its increased demand or less value offered in suite bids or both. We are on Reflection 11/27. Had booked AQ with a plan to bid for a suite. When we saw the minimum bids we just bought up to RS. It was less than $100 more than the minimum bid. No fuss, no muss and we got the Captains Club points for an RS. In Feb we went from a Sky Suite to RS on Edge and the bid plus fare paid was many $1000's less than booking a RS.

• Captain’s Club Tier [“PREVIEW” = first Celebrity Cruise]: Preview
• Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: Direct
• Current Cabin: Ocean View 
• Bid?  Yes/No: Yes

If YES -  Bidding Details:  Porthole Balcony and Concierge - $100pp

I don’t remember the other amounts but regular IV and family were all a much higher starting bid vs. concierge. Suites were very expensive to bid on. 

• Cabin  Category: place winning category, if accepted (all category offers, can be mentioned in comments). Concierge Class IV on deck 12
• Bid Offer: $210 total - sailing solo so just over the $100pp minimum
• Notification Date: November 2, 2022
• Accepted / Rejected Accepted - 

General Comments (offer details, etc.). Very shortly after I placed the bids, the porthole showed expired and the concierge bid pending with no ability to change. It sat that way for a month before notification 31 days out. 
 

For me sailing solo, the OV was fine, , this gives me some fresh air for a minimal cost.

The current starting price for an S2 is $4,309 so this seems like a wow.
