If accepted they take the additional gratuities and your move up $$s on your Visa card at the same time.  Sometimes the IT staff will upgrade you to Premium WiFi if you ask.

I was surprised at the low costs myself.  I am already in a suite and have the AI package.  the only benefit for me for the Aqua Class Suite would be the spa pass and access to Blue .  Since these classes are already sold out, it would take others to move up to free up the rooms.

The sky suite is still pending - aqua class dropped to expired. So hoping we get it! We bumped up our bid to a fairly decent offer, but still under the total rack rate by half!

Good to know.  If it's locked, you'll probably see the charge on your Visa before receiving an email confirming....at least that's how we found out on two occasions.

Question...what is the latest/closest to embarkation anyone has had their bid accepted?

 

Not sure but don’t give up hope yet! While others on our sailing were upgraded approx one month before sail date, we were just upgraded yesterday (same as our traveling companions), and we sail in one week. Interestingly enough, our companions were “offered” less than we were for a sunset veranda, although they originally paid more for their deluxe porthole veranda than we did for our inside guarantee (which had been assigned deluxe inside). Here are the deets:

  • Ship:  Apex
  • Length of Cruise: 10 nights
  • Cruise Sail Date: October 6, 2023
  • Date email offer received: it wasn’t, we each went thru the Move Up choice when poking around in our accounts on 8/1
  • Captain’s Club Tier: Classic (Select after this sailing) 
  • Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: TA
  • Current Cabin: Deluxe Inside
  • Bid?  Yes/No: Yes
  • Cabin Category: Oceanview, minimum $100; Deluxe Porthole View with Veranda, minimum $200; Sunset Veranda, minimum $250; Concierge Class with Infinite Veranda, minimum $300; Aqua Class with Infinite Veranda, minimum $400
  • Bid Offer: Originally (8/1) Concierge Class - $320, but then canceled a month later when deciding that it wasn’t what we really wanted; SV - $255, increased to $405 after figuring out what it was really worth to us 🙂
  • Notification Date: 9/28/23
  • Accepted / Rejected: Accepted - Sunset Veranda

General Comments (offer details, etc.) As of 9/27, all cabin classes offered showed the ability to still bid/change. Only on 9/28, we didn’t have an option to modify the pending SV bid. Even though it had been pending from the start, not being able to modify was the only heads up before simultaneously receiving notification from Celebrity and our bank (for large cc purchases) later that same day.

As mentioned, not all proffers are presented equally; even for the same cabin, our friends were offered to move up to a SV for a minimum $150pp (their ultimate bid), albeit they’d initially paid more for their cabin than we had.

Good luck to all🤞🤞🤞

They have upgraded us into an OV cabin, but didnt want this. Wanted a Porthole with veranda or regular veranda. Never made an offer for Ocean View. Is this a mistake from Celebrity? What to do?

Yikes, I guess I’d call. Maybe go through your emails though and make sure you didn’t accidentally place an Oceanview bid.

You bid on an Ocean view Porthole.  Looks like that's what you got.

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I made an offer for: 

 

1. Edge Stateroom with Infinite Veranda

2. Deluxe Porthole View Stateroom with Veranda. 

 

So never made an offer for an Ocean View. (which is a lower catagory than i made offers for)

 

In the email that i received from Move Up program yesterday, it also states we have been upgraded to a Deluxe Porthole View Stateroom with Veranda. 

 

Did Celebrity make a mistake?

Call them and ask, it's entirely possible.

Isn't the porthole stateroom one WITH a very small verandah at the front of the ship?  Here's a link to some photos...  https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2773967-apex-deluxe-porthole-view-with-verandah/
