Is an email sent or can you navigate through the Celebrity website to check if it is available for the cabin you are in? We are on the February 25th sailing of the Ascent. - Thanks It will be after final payment date (which is on Nov 27 for that cruise I think), and even though we go through a TA, we have always received an email with the offer sometime afterwards - as soon as a week, and as long as about six weeks.

sunlover33 Posted November 13, 2023 #1406 Share Posted November 13, 2023 How exactly does this work, does anyone have a definitive answer? I can see cruises sailing after ours have received confirmation of move ups and some people on our cruise on 29th Nov have also received move up bids weeks ago. But our bid and many others are still pending. Is there any method to move up allocations or is it on random days, categories , status etc?

My mid way point (fair offer) is only $725 per person. Minimum was $450. I got a good price on my original cabin so don’t mind offering more.

I was in this situation, having bid on multiple suite categories and seeing all bids Expire with only the Royal Suite Pending. after just over a week of that suspense, all of my bids returned to Pending and were open for changes. I didn’t end up getting the Royal Suite that was pending for so long (there were 3 open at the time), but I did get a Sunset Sky Suite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
