CELEBRITY MOVE UP TRACKER Ship: Beyond Length of Cruise: 9 days Cruise Sail Date: August 27, 2022 Date email offer received: not sure, I went into move up on the site to bid 4 days ago (Monday) Captain’s Club Tier [“PREVIEW” = first Celebrity Cruise]: Select? 1st or 2nd cruise Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: via my TA Current Cabin: Aqua Sky Suite Bid? Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Edge Villa Bid Offer: $1,620 pp Notification Date: Today, 4 days after bidding 8/12/22 Accepted / Rejected Accepted General Comments (offer details, etc.) it was above minimum and the meter said it was a strong offer. The Edge Villas were not selling well on this cruise... I also bid $1,070 on a Royal Suite which was rejected, that had been described as a weak offer.

will do!

edit: the upgrade just went through, 15 days before sailing to cabin 15104. so I'm going to be happy about it and deal with whatever issues there are 🙂! but still would like to be prepared..this is my first time on Celebrity... i suppose I now pay for spa access (just one or two sea days, so 2 days probably suffice) but hopefully get a credit for specialty dining?

i called. for 7 days, 2 people it was $686 for plus, and $140 to add streaming.

Trigger warning: first world problem! i was very happy with my Aqua sky suite, but got caught up in the idea of bidding. bid on a Royal Suite and Edge Villa (described as a strong bid I think), the latter is still pending 2 weeks out, there are 4 of 6 left. the modify/cancel button didn't work for me so I will go with the flow. I thought we'll survive the stairs and enjoy the private hot tub in lieu of the spa access and close view of waking to the ocean. but then I read all sorts of iffy reviews on the windy nature of the balcony (not sure if those were Mediterranean cruises), motion of the cabin, heavy doors, hard couch (we would just be sitting). i like the exercise of the stairs so ok with that aspect. perhaps that is why it isn't selling straight (or the crazy price point). but those reviews are all Apex and Edge. anyone stayed in the Beyond Edge and have any info to ease my mind? Service being good, etc? i'd like to be comfy I'll be happy either way!

I had the unlimited dining on Oasis and was glad for it. i preferred the specialty over my one dinner in coastal kitchen. loved the civilized breakfast though.

for me the streaming upgrade was an additional $10 a day, with $70 as a separate line item.

I was able to add streaming for another $10 a day

i did it on my ipad pro without issue. i have a cover so was able to stand it up like a book

this is edge class so includes Apex and Beyond

i've not done Celebrity before, so will see!

Good info! We have Retreat and the correct codes TCJ6-GRAT DLX 9N -171.00 TCO7-PROMO2P 9N -621.00 TCO8-BEVPRINGRAT9 621.00 YVY6-INTERNETCHG 199.00 YVY7-INTERNETSAV (I think this is supposed to be unlimited streaming) We have PALL on our boarding passes so drinks should be premium. no idea why my boarding pass says (Suite Class * Select) and my partner’s says Suite Class without the word Select!

may i ask, where are you seeing deck plans posted? wonder if they will soon have actual pictures of the cabins....

interesting that on deck 11 they say hot tub, show a picture of a hot tub....but haven't updated the floor plan.

what is extremely annoying is that if there is only one cabin left, the listing then says "Best Available" rather than telling you which cabin. why would you pay the same for deck 10 without a hot tub as for 12 with one, especially since deck 11 PH is cheaper...I really think they should break up the 12 and 10 options....

the people who had the choice of decks 10 and 12, and chose 10, were very upset. there are some other posts about that. someone today said now that deck 12, 13, and 15 also no longer showing...only 11 and 14. that does not make sense because decks 13 and 15 are Deluxe owner's suites (2 bedroom) and deck 12 description (aft facing owner's suite) is still showing a hot tub for deck 12. deck 11 is the aft-facing PH which NOW is showing a picture of a hot tub and hot tub is listed i nthe description. i wonder if that it new...but bizarre to give it to 11 and take away from 12, 13 and 15....

i really hope so...I did pay alot more for the deck 12 because of the hot tiub than the owner's suites without were going for...

This happened to me recently on royal caribbean. No availability in the specialty restaurants of any of the listed wines by the glass, either within the $13 or even with an upcharge of a few dollars. Only the worst wine on the list, essentially serving $10 bottles for $9 a glass. We did have 40% off bottles, so even with the upcharge spent only $30-40 for decent $25-30 bottles, but they would not open any decent selections by the glass, so the package was useless. And drinks that were good at a bar (grey goose mule) became undrinkable when brought by dining staff from the bar (no way they honored the alcohol request without us watching). It's all a bit irritating, but now we know to get a drink and crry to dinner. I'm actually excited to try NCL's premium plus offerings that provides bottles with dinner, and compare that to my premium / indulge package on Celebrity later this month.

that would be wonderful, but I think what people have been saying is even if there are no premium wines by the glass, they are not offering alternatives but suggesting that you buy a bottle. which seems unfair....they have plenty of bottles and should make a substitution.

Thanks! I had heard some reports that the listed wines weren’t always available lately….

I am on the 5 night Bermuda…in terms of the shows….

Hello—anyone know if the wines listed in the package are available especially at specialty dining? Anyone have a cruise compass for the 5 day? Trying to decide on dinner time and whether to bring wine or get the package!

On July 1 Oasis from Cape Liberty it was 2 per stateroom. I have to say the security person was extraordinarily obnoxious when verifying that we had sufficient staterooms to support the 2 bottles of wine per cabin (we did, but his accusatory and rude demeanor actually started the trip off on something of a downer).

Hi, does anyone by chance have a cruise compass for the 5 day Bermuda trip? Heading out on Thursday and trying to figure out when to make specialty dining. also, are there any restaurants walking distance to the dockyard? Do most people go out in Bermuda so this ship is quiet? Any fun nightlife in Bermuda?

Hello, we have a 1030 AM boarding time on Adventure of the Seas which was the first available (gotten at midnight 45 days before cruise date). We also have the Key, which puts us in the Key/Suite line, or at least it did for Oasis. When I arrived at 1030 for Oasis that line was already full…Should we arrive at 10, or even earlier? Curious if any recent experience someone might be willing to share.
