it can be very worthwhile if you are able to obtain an upgraded room for less than if you had paid for the full upgrade.   The downside is you may receive a cabin in a location that is either noisy or obstructed view.

Only you can decide if it is worth.  Compare the actual price of a direct upgrade vs. the bidding option.  Also your budget.

 

I always book a room we will be happy with, and than look for a reasonable upgrade bid.  Our current booking they want over $1500 combined minimum bid to move to a suite.  Not worth it to me.  We like the pampering in the suites(never with Celebrity but several with NCL), but i am more interested in more space and privacy when traveling with our teanage son.  With Celebrity suites not havung private bedrooms it isnt worth it.

 

We did bid on a family balcony which while not completely  private it does give us seperate space.

 

Enjoy whatever you decide

Actually, all the Celebrity suites except sky suites have a private bedroom.

I saw that too, and it was the Sky Suites that they wanted $1500 minimum bid.  The Celebrity suite is $2000 minimum bid.  Cant justify that much.
