Same here.  No matter what I click on (and I did try from the confirmation e-mail), there's nothing beyond "offer received".  I can modify the offer, but that's it.

You can click on "offer received" and it will take you to your bids and you should see "pending" if they haven't already been rejected.

I’m getting the same message. Wondering if we are not eligible to bid for some reason. 

The most common reason why someone cannot bid while others can is you booked through or transferred your booking to a company that does not participate in MoveUp. For example, Costco and other large box stores do not participate in the MoveUp program: 

https://costco-travel-us-mbr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4142/~/does-costco-travel-participate-in-any-cruise-line-bid-to-upgrade-programs%3F 

That is exactly why I no longer book Celebrity cruises through Costco.

Moveup Minimum bids per person:

Aqua $400

Concierge $300

Infinite Veranda $250

Bid on Aqua but haven’t heard yet.  

Hi, I bid on aqua and concierge, and while they could still accept tomorrow,  perhaps they won't accept bids now.

Were your minimum bids the same as mine listed?  Are you already in an infinite veranda?  I read where they can accept them up to 48 hours before.  Good luck.

I booked prime Oceanview so the minimums were a little lower, about $50 less per person

That makes sense.  Thanks for the reply.  Hoping we are successful in our bids.

Is it typical to have every category above yours available to bid on or are some of you only seeing certain categories with availability? 

If you originally booked and inside or Oceanview, you typically can only bid up to AquaClass. If you book Veranda and higher, you typically see the suites.

I originally placed the Tracker in the thread initiated by CruisingChick on April 23, 2018.  However, the tracker gets lost amongst all the many questions/comments (understandably).  Thus, I have decided to create a single thread for tracking purposes only (filtering out everything else).  

The purpose of this thread is strictly for compiling information into a spreadsheet.   I will be running this tracker for ~ 6 months to see if any interesting trends come about and/or for general information purposes.  Will reevaluate its usefulness thereafter. 

IF you wish to participate, answer the following questions as best as you can and I will transfer the info to the Tracker. 
Please do not ask questions here (redirect your questions/comments to the CruisingChick thread of April 2018).

I just wanted to put this out there so cruisers could see what current MoveUp offers might look like. I guess I am surprised that so many categories were offered to me for bidding since my current category is V1. 

[CruisinShips]

Question...I didn't get an email, but was able to make an offer via the link to the moveup page.  Is there any difference in my doing it without the email, and can anyone come up with a reason why I may not have gotten the email?

[DLpl]

I dont think so, I placed my bids via the link -  both were pending initially,  then  one was accepted. Others have also used that route. Dont think there's any advantage  or disadvantage.  Good luck !!

[bubax4]

Might sound like a silly question,  it where do you find the link? Thanks.

[DLpl]

CelebrityCruises.com....log into 'manage reservation'...then scroll down til you see 'upgrade your room in a few simple clicks'....good luck !!

Sign in and then under Manage Trip choose the MoveUp link.

 

 

[Chocolatemom2]

Both my offers say pending. One I can modify and one I cannot. 
Does that mean they might accept the one that I can’t modify?
