dateacher Posted December 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I have always half-heartedly bid for move-ups and this time I won a move from Concierge to Sky Suite on our Jan. 3, Beyond cruise. It's the first leg of our B2B so I'm hoping we get lucky for the second half. I won't complain but I'd rather not have to go back to a regular cabin. Would have preferred the suite on the second half. Hoping they are doing cruise by cruise and we hear more good news soon. It is only three doors down from our original cabin so if we do have to go back, it's not far. And before you ask, it was just under $2,000 for two. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted December 8, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Congratulations. The good news. Is you won the bid . Bad news it is hard to go back. BTW even harder as the Beyond Sun Deck is better than Edge or Apex. Edited December 8, 2022 by jelayne Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Miaminice Posted December 8, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Even if you get the MoveUp for the second leg it is unlikely that you can stay in the same SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted December 8, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Great news! Enjoy the sky suite and especially Luminae and all of the suite perks! Hope you are as successful for the second leg of your cruise as you will be spoiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are as successful for the second leg of your cruise as you will be spoiled. That's what I'm afraid of. I recently figured how many houses I need to sell before I can be "optionally employed" but I think this may mean I have to sell a few more to stay at suite level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFontaine Posted December 8, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 8, 2022 If you don't get a Move Up for the second leg, let the Retreat Manager know your interest in staying in a suite. The Move Up process closes 48 hours before the cruise. People do cancel last minute so you might get lucky through the ship. Have a great trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first celebrity cruise about 11 years ago when solstice was new we got a free upgrade to sky suite, we have booked nothing but suites since .

cruise princess42 Posted December 8, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 8, 2022 How soon do you know if your "Move up" bid has been accepted? Just a couple days prior to sail date or does it vary? Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizinindy Posted December 9, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 9, 2022 OK--here's a good one. We were completely floored that for our first B2B on the APEX last year, our weenie bid to move from a sky suite to a Celebrity Suite landed us in the Iconic suite for week one! WHAT? Quick, get inside and lock the door and don't answer if anyone knocks! The second week, we were in the Celebrity suite from our move up bid...and from our balcony, we could see who replaced us in the Iconic suite! bahahaha! We wanted to yell--"hey--get outta our room!" It was a once in a lifetime dream week! (not that week 2 wasn't delightful) My advice--always do a move up....you just never know where you might land! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
