• Bid Offer: $2505
• Notification Date: 11/22/2019
• Accepted / Rejected Accepted 

General Comments (offer details, etc.) The minimum bid was $2250. My bid showed as slightly higher on the meter but still very much in the "weak" range. Others had offers for slightly lower minimum bids but we had a bargain price on a guarantee suite for our original booking. Also, some people received notification of their bids acceptance a day before I received mine. I think they put them through from high to low.

 

Other bid minimums were: Iconic suite $5000, PH $4000, RS $1500, and CS $1000. I only bid on the villa.

• Current Cabin: Family Veranda deck 8 
• Bid?  Yes/No: No, for a 5 night cruise we just felt the only real upgrade for us (space wise) would be the royal suite, we have all 4 perks already & enjoy the MDR so as we have such a huge nice balcony and cabin we just decided it was too good a cabin to give up vs the cost of upgrading, especially as neither of us would make use of the butler or Michaels club, maybe if it had been on a S/Class ship or a re-vamped ship with the retreat etc, our quest to taste  the suite life experience continues, hopefully it’ll happen at some point in the future 🤞🏻😊

• Accepted / Rejected  Accepted

 

I have been called for an upgrade to the penthouse suite during my last cruise.  I think you should include what people spend onboard.  I usually spend around 3k-4k for spa, wine, excursions, and shopping.  I believe that all the money you spend increases your odds, much like casinos giving upgrades to their gamblers.  My total cost for the trip was $17,500 but it would have been $27,000 if I did not do the MoveUp program.

I will add your comments to your entry in the spreadsheet; but will not be adding a column to collect information on what people spend on board - for most cruisers, that is a private issue.

A "Statistics" tab has been added within the  CELEBRITY MOVE UP TRACKER

It is located beside the "Offers" (primary tab).  It will be fine-tuned over the weekend, but as a "preview":

Comments:  We originally reserved a Celebrity Suite and watched the price come down almost $4000. I did not want to move up to Signature Suite but was interested in the Royal suite. The RS dropped dramatically this past week  and i had my TA contact Celebrity and we ended up paying less than 900 for both of us to upgrade!

bit slightly more the minium with exception of the family veranda. Recieved email that all bids rejected 2 days before cruise.

 

when I first bid, probably 2 weeks in the bids were not able to be adjusted. The family veranda and ocean view were expired and the veranda was pending. About 5 days before logged into the moveup and noticed all bid options were open again. Increased bids on all options but appears today that offers were rejected. When I check the sailing appears they still have some room open.

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).

General Comments (offer details, etc.)We booked this 12/10/19, entered a bid on the 14th and was accepted on the 17th.  We live in Florida so I think they were trying to fill the ship, we got a great price for a Balcony GTY, then bid for Aqua.  We have never done Aqua so decided to try it.  We usually do newer ships so this will be interesting.
