Sue.B2019 Posted January 16, 2023 #827 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I Have a quick question. We are booked in A Sky Suite (Guar., but have room assignment already: Booked last week). Today I received the bidding upgrade email and I'm shocked at the minimum Bid/starting point. Aqua class, for example, is 400/pp starting which is more than what I would have paid for it if I would have booked it. We are happy with what we have and will stay put. My question is, Does Celebrity send out adjusted emails to upgrade as the date gets closer? Thanks! Just getting back to cruising after 20 plus under our belts (Mostly RCCL/Princess). First time on Celebrity and really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my offers were not accepted. I believe that this was because it was a holiday cruise and the ship was basically full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time on Celebrity and really looking forward to it! Not sure I'm following this... generally the system doesn't send you an email for lower categories than what you're booked into. ie: If you're booked into a Sky Suite, you absolutely should not be getting a MoveUp offer for AquaClass or lower. Maybe a glitch? Are you sure you're in a sky suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only really interested in the larger balcony since we are traveling with another couple. Doubt my offer will be accepted but will update when I hear. Seems like most of the “move up crowd” are suites going to a higher suite. I didn’t even have that available…not sure if that is due to the lack of availability or the bottom dwellers are only offered to upgrade so far. 🤷🏼♂️ Either way looking fwd to the cruise!

Which amenities do you speak of? If you get the upgrade to aqua class then you get blu. But you don't automatically get the perks like the drink package.

Where did you get the occupancy #'s? If you get upgraded to aquaclass you also get the welcome bottle of sparkling wine and the daily treats. I was just on solstice where we got a move up from interior to aqua. Those are considered amenities for that category and are included. You just don't get the perks, wifi, drink package, or tips that the higher categories include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
