psuboater Posted June 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hi all, Apologies if this has been answered but I couldn't find it in my searches anywhere. We are sailing on Sunday, and I put in 4 Move Up bids. Two of those bids are telling me they cannot be modified or cancelled. I know if one of the bids cannot be modified it's a good chance it was accepted, but has anyone experienced two bids forbidding modification and what was your end result? Thanks!

Arizona Wildcat Posted June 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Yes. In one case one bid was accepted about 48 hours before cruising. We have seen bids frozen a couple days out and usually bid on several cabins. Most times none of our bids were accepted as we put in a significant bid on one cabin and very small a.ounts on others. Good luck. You should know soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my last cruise I never got past pending, so holding out a little hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I have seen this before if you try to go back in and edit/cancel. This often happens if you use the link to the original bid. Try the link on the two confirmations that you can't modify. If you still can't modify you may have won one of the bid or short listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuboater Posted June 9, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks! Went to the link from the confirmation e-mail after bidding. The two cabins are showing as greyed out pending, while the other two can still be modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually when I've won and see that I am notified in less than 24 hours. At 48 hours prior to cruise you will be notified of any bids that were rejected. How far out are you from sailing?

psuboater Posted June 9, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Sailing on Sunday, so about 72 hours out at the moment. I'll be keeping an eye on my e-mail tomorrow! Edit: Now ALL are not able to be modified 😦 Edited June 9, 2022 by psuboater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Fingers crossed for you. When I've been in that predicament I was always upgraded. Sometimes they wait because if they can give you the better suite they can upgrade your room and get two upgrades. Make sure you check your junk mail and/or check your room. I had one upgrade I didn't realize I won until my watch buzzed with a credit card alert that a charge had been made by Celebrity. I have alerts setup for any transaction over a $ amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuboater Posted June 10, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Sadly all 4 of my bids went to expired this morning, but only 2 rejection e-mails. A bit bummed since I had a max bid on one (Family Veranda) but at the end of the day, we're still cruising on Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted June 10, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2022 My low bid also expired this morning. Sailing is for this Sunday. When I checked, there are still 6 cabins available which begs the question. Why would X prefer to sail with those cabins empty than making more money by accepting my bid. Just don't get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Summit?) I had a max bid of $250pp for the Family Veranda, and it was still showing open this morning. I asked how much it would be to upgrade and it was $1500. Sadly, my dreams of seeing Bermuda from an aft cabin will have to remain in my dreams 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted June 10, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Eclipse. Like you said, we will both have a nice cruise move up or no move up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy with my cabin but would have enjoyed a an upgrade. No go out and enjoy your cruise and next time you may be rewarded with an upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still available when I boarded and asked how much to upgrade and they wanted $3,500 which was more than if I had paid full price to upgrade pre-cruise. They sailed an it remained open for the entire cruise. Greedy Revenue Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
