Yes/No:Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Veranda Bid Offer:$530 Notification Date: September 12, but cabin # not received until September 23. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

FLcruiser2011 Posted September 26, 2022 #706 Share Posted September 26, 2022 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?

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.

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.
