Yes/No: No 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.) I was offered Sky Suite from $300 pp, Celebrity Suite from $400 pp, and Royal Suite from $750 pp. We originally booked onboard 2 years ago and we were told that our aft center cabin was very desirable because it has a bigger balcony. We had never sailed in an aft cabin so we booked it for $719 pp. That include the classic beverage package, gratuities, and $400 OBC. Our TA gave us another $200 OBC. We used the Celebrity OBC to upgrade to the premium beverage package during a sale some time ago. We also used it to pay for an excursion and we still have the TA OBC to use once onboard. We saw no reason to pay for an upgraded room since we prefer Blu over Luminae, wanted to try the aft cabin, and already had all the perks we wanted. Plus we would not get the extra Captain's Club points. Not worth it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to eat in Blu through Aqua Class, but we're travelling with two other couples so it's not the right choice for us this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bid just a little over the minimum of $1000 pp. Got an email exactly one month before cruise begins telling me that my offer was accepted. We are really excited! I'm planning to get most of the moveup costs back by taking advantage of the free extra charge restaurants and laundry.

Yes/No: No General Comments (offer details, etc.) - We'd been considering bidding for AQ but after doing some research here decided we're really happy with our centrally located cabin under and over other cabins - we learned that we couldn't choose our AQ location. We would have done it only to experience Blu but have read mixed reviews about it being worth the cost of an upgrade. With a 3 Specialty package, we also enjoy the dining room and buffet, so we'll spend that money on upgrading to drinks not in our package!

Yes/No: No Minimum bids pp: Sky Suite - $300 Celebrity Suite - $400 Royal Suite - $750 We have an aft A1 that we are really excited for, so we chose not to bid. It looks like there currently is one Sky Suite, one Celebrity Suite, and several Royal Suites available that are each at least double what we paid so upgrading could have been a good deal. We got a great rate with all 4 perks included as part of a promo when we booked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 6 or 7 Sky Suites available, and on the day they were notified 5 or so vanished, so I assume that several others had their move up bids confirmed. They are very excited! We were in a Family Veranda with our mother in law, so the move up bid options wouldn’t have worked for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although $1500.00 may seem steep, if accepted, it will be worth the upgrade and amenities in the SS category.
