Ship: Reflection Length of Cruise: 8 nights Cruise Sail Date: 03.02.2024 Date email offer received:N/A - went to website Captain’s Club Tier: Classic Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: Celebrity Direct Current Cabin: C2 Bid? Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: AquaClass Sky Suite Bid Offer: $500 Notification Date: TBD Accepted / Rejected: TBD General Comments (offer details, etc.) I was surprised that AQ and sunset concierge have relatively high minimums. As recently as last week I saw an AQ cabin available for $300 pp more than our currently booked price. I put in a bid for Aqua Class Sky Suite. If we get it at that price, what a bargain! If not, we are happy with our current room. I may consider putting in a sky suite bid at slightly over minimum but not sure that access to Luminae justifies the cost for us. I don't think we would use the other suite class beneitson the Reflection. Minimum Bids Sunset Conceirge: $1300 pp Aqua Class: $450pp Sky Suite - 800 pp Sunset Sky Suite - $1650 pp AquaClass Sky Suite - $450 pp Celebrity Suite - $1500 pp Signature Suite - 2500 pp Royal Suite - $3000D pp

Bid of 305pp accepted from inside to concierge. Given the low price we paid for the room initially, I'm very pleased with the end result. There were only 3 Aqua rooms remaining and 1 concierge when I checked availability this morning. Very grateful to have gotten any upgrade. Had my figers crossed for Aqua, but will have to try that another time. 🙂

Yes. It’s for all sky clubs.

Thanks for the wonderful trip report! It's gotten me all the more excited for our trip on Feb. 3! If you are able, I'd appreicate it if you could check on the availability of a vegetarian menu in the MDR. It's our first cruise on Celebrity and DH's first ever cruise. I was told by friends that Celebrity had an additional menu for vegetarians available. With the recent cuts, I'd like to be sure. The customer service agent I spoke with said only that, "vegetarian options are available." From the menus I'm seeing on the app, sometimes there is only one vegetarian option available. Thank you!

What CTRL F logic are you using to capture the number of unoccupied rooms?

I’m sailing on the constellation this winter. Thanks to info found on here, I have 3112 booked. 9001 is also open and I’ve heard it’s extra spacious. Not concerned about seasickness. So the forward position isn’t a concern. Which would you choose?

Are the minnimum and maximum bids relative to your booking? Or are they standard regardless of original booking? For example: Passenger A booked an inside cabin and has min/max bid of 200-1000 Passenger B booked an ocean view cabin. Would their min/max bid range be the same? I love a good deal and don't mind an inside cabin, so thinking of how to strategize for max value of potential upgrades. 🙂

I believe it is likely just the way they have the page designed. Is it the one at the top of the page that has "Modify or Cancel Offer?" If so, look at the top of the box and you'll see it states the status of the offer. At least it does on mine:
