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

It will be after final payment date (which is on Nov 27 for that cruise I think), and even though we go through a TA, we have always received an email with the offer sometime afterwards - as soon as a week, and as long as about six weeks.

How exactly does this work, does anyone have a definitive answer?  I can see cruises sailing after ours have received confirmation of move ups and some people on our cruise on 29th Nov have also received move up bids weeks ago. But our bid and many others are still pending. Is there any method to move up allocations or is it on random days, categories , status etc?

Good for you!  Was that $1525 per person?  My upcoming bid from an Aqua suite to an Aqua sky suite is considered “fair”.  Wonder if I should downgrade my bid.  Lots of Aqua sky suite available

Per person   I think I just bid $25 more than the $1500 minimum

I bid on the same thing - $25pp above the minimum - and won the bid. We are excited!

My mid way point (fair offer) is only $725 per person.  Minimum was $450.  I got a good price on my original cabin so don’t mind offering more.

I have checked the availability by doing a mock booking today and saw no Royal or Celebrity suites listed as available but my bids have always shown as pending for these suites. There appears to be only 1 Aqua Sky Suite left and one Sunset Sky Suite left so I upped my offers today. There are about 5 Sky suites left. Costs for all available Retreat Suites now start at an eye popping $7,04I per person and Aqua Suite is a mer $8303!! I really want the Aqua Sky Suite upgrade and have hopefully raised my bid enough. Sailing in 23 days.

All my Bids expired for my 12/10/23 Ascent cruise except the Celebrity Suite which has been pending for a few days. Everything is locked out. I am feeling good I will get the upgrade since the celebrity site still shows 5 available CS.

What was your bid and what type of room are you currently booked in ?

I wish you luck!  I was in this situation, having bid on multiple suite categories and seeing all bids Expire with only the Royal Suite Pending. after just over a week of that suspense, all of my bids returned to Pending and were open for changes. I didn’t end up getting the Royal Suite that was pending for so long (there were 3 open at the time), but I did get a Sunset Sky Suite.

WOW First time I heard them go back to pending.  Glad you got some upgrades. Did you sail yet?
