Oh well. It is worth a shot right?

Thank you. I’m still torn on bidding. Not sure if I should go with a mid kind of bud or max it out and try to really get the royal suite. Max bid would total $6000 (3k per guest)

Thanks. Yes, I'm thinking that it makes more sense to just pay a few dollars extra for a special drink occasionally.

Right now it is showing $20 per person per day. I'm new to this so I don' thave Captains Club unless I got enrolled in that automatically.

Another question since you have been so wonderfully helpful - how are the cocktails under the basic beverage package? I reviewed the list of liquor and stuff when we first booked and those are fine with me, but as far as saying "make me a bloody mary" or whatever is that pretty reasonable? I understand with that package I'm not getting the mint ginger top shelf fancy thing, and I'm fine with that for the most part. I do enjoy high end cocktails but I"m not sure it's worth $20 per person per day extra (That is what they want for the upgrade).

Ok - I'm new to all of this so I had no idea. Makes sense.

That's what I see when I go in to modify. It doesn't give the same list of stuff I did when I entered my credit card info.

Ok, so I ended up putting in a bid earlier before I replied saying i could screenshot the page, so now I don't see the same screen I saw earlier when I selected it. I can see the FAQs which I suppose anyone can. https://www.celebritycruises.com/bid-on-cruise-room-upgrade/celebrity-moveup-faqs

Yes I think the language is what needs to be clarified. I think the term for perks being used is "promotions". These are the FAQs https://www.celebritycruises.com/bid-on-cruise-room-upgrade/celebrity-moveup-faqs They mention "promotions" which based on what I was told on the phone and what many are saying here, are the drink package, wifi, etc. Not the amenities that come with the room. Of course, the issue is the Royal Suite purchased outright includes those promotions + the amenities. But with Moveup, the promotions are excluded. The big question is how is this enforced? I guess they can see I have only purchased the basic beverage package. It came with the cruise when we purchased it. We bought the 10A land and cruise tour and that was bundled in. So I'm not highly motivated to upgrade my beverage package but very interested in potentially going all out for the suite and the amenities.

When I get home later I’ll try to grab a screenshot of what I’m seeing on my end.

Makes perfect sense! Yes, we are really torn on trying to get it. I can't seem to see any availability so I have no idea if they actually have open royal suites or not.

to move up from my stateroom veranda to the royal suite the bid range is $600 to $3000 - it also mentions this is a promotional price that is 50% off. .

The upgrade range is $600 to $3000 and mentions a 50% promotional discount. Not sure if this is a good deal. I'm in the statesman veranda room.

Exactly! That is the page I have been looking at. It's a mess, just like the rest of their website and app.
