Celebrity MoveUp Offer Tracker - Please Do Not Post Questions Here!

[gottaluvit]

Sailing on Beyond next Monday 11/13.

Currently in a solo infinite verandah on deck 6.

Bid on both Aqua and Concierge as soon as bidding opened a few months ago.

checked on my offers this weekend, Aqua shows expired, and Concierge is locked. 
the Move Up FAQ’s state I should be able to cancel or modify my bid up to 48 hours before sail date?!

Some are saying this means I’ll likely get the upgrade, however my CC hasn’t been charged yet. The waiting game!

What do the experts on here think?!?!

Give it a few days! It’ll usually hit your card first but even that can take a few days from when it locks. Some people have reported that they had their offers locked and still didn’t get it, but I think the vast majority do. Fingers crossed for you! I’m in the same boat (haha) as you, with a locked pending offer, I’ll be on beyond December 1st!

Thanks! I first noticed I was "locked out" on Friday night - just thought it was a glitch (I had not been following this thread).  When I went in again on Sunday and saw it still locked out, I started a google search and it led me here.

I will definitely report back one way or the other...... Would be VERY nice if I was able to relocate from a single cabin to a full Concierge Class - for the extra space 🙂

I leave in 25 days on the Eclipse. My three bids are still pending and nothing is locked or cancelled. My first time trying move up so hopefully I am still in the running.

Best to check cabin availability for the class you're bidding on.  My move up bid is still showing 'pending'...with no cabins available 2 weeks before sailing.  Will no doubt receive a 'rejected' email.  Good luck with your bids.

Update!

I won my bid!

I was checking my credit card authorizations all day, and at 4:55PM I saw a charge from Celebrity so I knew I had won the upgrade 😀  The app shows my new cabin number, and of course I received the email confirmation as well.

My original cabin was a single infinite verandah cabin, and my new cabin is a Prime Concierge Class Cabin on deck 12.

I followed others advice on here and called Celebrity right away to move cabins within the category (they had me in a forward connecting), now I am in a mid-ship non-connecting cabin!

I'm super excited for Monday!

I am quite surprised that all of these show as options seeing as they've been sold out since the middle of October.  I'm not getting my hopes up as this is a holiday sailing and the boat looks to be sold out aside from Sky Suites.  I've won all of my upgrades in the past...so this cruise may break that streak LOL!

I bet you get a good upgrade.  While ship appears full, it probably isn't and others bid and move up freeing their staterooms.  Good luck.

So yet another upgrade question. Sorry if this has been addressed before.

 

 I have a concierge cabin on an Edge class ship

 

Have paid already for upgraded wifi and drink package, and have reserved specialty restaurants for most nights

 

i have just bid on some higher suites

 

I understand that I will carry over my upgrades, but do I get reservations included to all specially restaurants, and will theThermal spa be included if I win my upgrade in all suites besides Aqua?

 

Thank You 

[theopup]

Sorry, I just saw that I was not to post my question here, please delete

Update: we just got our approval confirmation!! 
 

For future reference, I saw on another social media site that our original upgraded room 9190 was right next to a magic carpet sky suite, the ones that jut out from the side of the ship, so the view would be obstructed. That would be fine by me, however I noticed they have a large window on their balcony that has a direct view into our balcony and room. I called celebrity and they were happy to move us to another room in the same category.

Awesome!  And not a last minute notice either.  Enjoy and happy honeymoon!

High numbers? Not compared to my offers on the Reflection! We’re in a veranda cabin (V1) and our 8 night had a minimum bid of $750 pp for Aqua class, $2K pp for Aqua Sky Suite! The Reflection is an older ship and doesn’t even have a retreat sun deck. Congratulations, I personally think you got a bargain!

We were in that exact Stateroom on the Beyond in February.  The obstruction was a non-issue for us.  We MovedUp from AquaClass for the minimum bid, and were thrilled with the value at a bit more than half what it would have cost to book a Sky Suite for the start.  Luminae is very nice (and so is Blu - we did a B2B and were Aqua Class the second week), Priority Boarding is great, we loved the Retreat, and the Retreat Lounge, and so the obstruction in our room didn't matter to us.  We had the Classic drink package, but enjoyed Premium drinks in Luminae, the Retreat Lounge and the Retreat.  Congrats!

 

EDIt - I just noticed that you moved, but perhaps some of what I said is still useful.

Hi has anyone won an upgrade yet on Ascent? Curious since it's a new ship if they have started yet.

I’m on the ascent Jan 14.  I have not heard yet about my bid.  I’m not expecting to hear until the New Year.

Great Goodluck will be fun, It's my first celebrity cruise. 

[galveston gal]

I have a suite guarantee now.  The ship departs 12/3/23.  There are lots of open high end suites available.  Can I bid?  I went to the location which indicates my reservation isn’t eligible.  I have contacted the department to find out why.  It was just paid in full to my TA so maybe the funds haven’t been received.

If your TA is the big box store with the $1.50 hot dog special, they don't participate in MoveUp.

It’s United cruises.  Not sure of their status

Hi - How does one find out about bidding/upgrading? Is an email sent or can you navigate through the Celebrity website to check if it is available for the cabin you are in? We are on the February 25th sailing of the Ascent. - Thanks
