Accepted
General Comments (offer details, etc.)

Lowest bid was $250 pp. Bid $15 pp over lowest. Total of $265 pp. Bid accepted but cabin number not given until 2 days prior to cruise. Received an obstructed veranda. Unable to change. Would not have bid knowing we had a chance to receive an obstructed view veranda. Celebrity should include different type veranda staterooms to bid on. If they can list whether Retreat, Aqua, or Concierge, they should also list other veranda types as well. 

Other accepted bidders have called X and asked if they could be moved to another available cabin.  Have you tried that or was it your TA who said you couldn't move?  Maybe onboard if you ask the purser you'll have a little luck.

We climbed up the ladder on X. Spoke to a supervisor who stated that they have no control over the move up program as it is operated by a totally different entity. Plus, they were saying that booking is closed. Seemed weird as I was able to do a mock booking.  Best suggestion from them was to ask once onboard. I’m sure we’re probably not the only ones who may be standing in that line.

Apparently did not read the details completely before bidding!  States is part, can be assigned any cabin in the catagory bid on.

My Move Up bid is now frozen.  The slide that lets you adjust it up or down, or cancel, is no longer on the webpage -- just my bid.  And above it, it still says Pending.  What do you think that means?

We got a super deal on a guarantee balcony, but I wasn’t happy with the room assigned so was really happy to bid on a Sunset Veranda. Aqua would have been min bid $550 CAD pp.

Actually received the invoice for the added charge before I received the Move Up accepted email! LOL

General Comments (offer details, etc.): Original booking was Inside Guarantee since we have not cruise with Celebrity before and just want to try.

Received offers about a week later with pricing as below. I started the bids at minimum but increase offers, bided slightly higher than minimum on Aqua, Concierge and Veranda types. Ship was not fully booked for the dates so we were able to “save” money using bid up process instead of booking Aqua directly at the start.

Aqua $300 USD pp

Concierge $200 USD pp

Family Veranda $200 USD pp

General Comments (offer details, etc.): Original booking was a veranda stateroom. We have not sailed with Celebrity before, so this is our first time using the MoveUp system. I wasn't sure where to check for the status originally but now I see it currently states the offer is Pending. Maybe I shouldn't have offered more than the minimum :)

General Comments (offer details, etc.): This is our first time using MoveUp. We usually travel as a family in two cabins and we want to stay together. But this is our first time in seven years traveling without the kids plus it is the spouse's birthday. Shhh, the change would be a surprise! I put in "fair" bids on Penthouse (none show available) and Royal Suite (2 available), but passed on the Celebrity Suite. We have never stayed in an upper suite.
