bkbarrym Posted June 25, 2019 #51 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Ship: Summit Length of Cruise: 10 days Cruise Sail Date: June 27, 2019 Date email offer received: May 5 Captain’s Club Tier [“PREVIEW” = first Celebrity Cruise]: Elite Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: Celebrity Direct Current Cabin: 3123 Bid? Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Veranda / Family Veranda / Concierge / Aqua Bid Offer: $310 CAD / $500 CAD / $385 CAD / No bid on Aqua (felt that minimum was too high) Notification Date: June 25 Accepted / Rejected: All Rejected General Comments (offer details, etc.) : Min bids were: Veranda $135 CAD, FV - $205, CC-$270, AQ- $405. Bid more conservatively at outset and increased bids over time as it became apparent that inventory was tight. Thought that our final bids were quite reasonable at 75% of maximum bid and 2.25 to 2.4 times the minimum bid. Bids remained in pending status until today - 48 hours before sail away. Found this all somewhat strange. There was a lot of cabins available through early May so believed that eventually we could upgrade to a veranda at little or no cost. Prices did drop but not enough to make it work. Then cabins sold out very quickly and prices went back up. Were were boxed in and then had to rely more heavily on the move up process. I'm guessing that the availability was too tight to support a lot of move ups for this cruise. Live and learn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water709 Posted July 2, 2019 #57 Share Posted July 2, 2019 DH and I bid for move-up to Celebrity Suite and Royal Suite on upcoming Summit cruise to Bermuda, 7-7-19. As of today have not heard iour bids are going to be winners. I am guessing probably not. We bid more on the Royal Suite than the CS. We already are in a Sky Suite, and it's a nice one with one of the larger balconies (have been in this suite twice before) so if we don't get the upgrade we will still be happy. However the waiting on pins and needles to hear if our bid wins is killing me. I am thinking probably we won't get the upgrade because we bid only around half of what the max bid suggested for either. But still I am dreaming and would like to know either way. I guess I will have to wait until Friday this week perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the bid invitation the next day. Our bid was extremely low and the little meter said "weak" so we were expecting the bid to be rejected.

Water709 Posted July 3, 2019 #60 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Ship: Summit Length of Cruise: 7 days Cruise Sail Date: July 7, 2019 Date email offer received: Several weeks ago Captain’s Club Tier [“PREVIEW” = first Celebrity Cruise]: Elite Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: Direct Current Cabin: Sky Suite Bid? Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: place winning category, if accepted (all category offers, can be mentioned in comments) Bid Offer: Notification Date: Accepted / Rejected General Comments (offer details, etc.) Bid on Celebrity Suite and Royal Suite. Still waiting to hear, bids still showing "pending". Bid $420 pp for Celebrity Suite; $650 pp for Royal Suite. Both bids are in the "weak" category, but significantly above the opening bid. After I check on the original offer I will plug in the ranges for the bids. We did not bid on the Penthouse Suite as the opening bid was $900 pp and I don't think we want all that space. Our Sky Suite will be just fine if our bids are rejected, but the waiting is killing us, especially when so many passengers have had bids accepted on cruises which sale weeks after ours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
