Are they still sending out the "you've been outbid!" emails at all? I saw them once a year or two ago, and that was it. Curious if they stopped..

Yes they are - I have had one this week (but only for one of the bids - we have bid on a variety of suites and it is on the RS that we had the email)

So after the 'you've been outbid emails' on the RS bid the past few days, all bids have gone to greyed out expired EXCEPT for the RS which is now greyed out and pending and can't be changed....

“So after the 'you've been outbid emails' on the RS bid the past few days, all bids have gone to greyed out expired EXCEPT for the RS which is now greyed out and pending and can't be changed....”

 

I currently have 3 Moveup bids in for an April cruise and lodged them separately, starting 3 weeks ago. Penthouse, Royal and CS.  I haven’t yet had any ‘outbid’ emails. Is that usual? And if not, is that likely to be a good sign, or bad? 🤔 

[Peteymil]

I'm sorry if this is repetitive but I have a question.  I put a Move-up on Celebrity Suite, Aqua Class sky suite, Sunset sky suite, and sky suite for a cruise in May.  They all say expired and are grayed out.

My bid for Aqua class says pending, and is grayed out.  

Does this mean anything as far as the Aqua class bid?

Thanks in advance.

Usually means that you are on the short list to be upgraded into that category.  You should expect to know within 4-6 days if moved up or if it opens back up as an active bid which means you didn't make the cut on this round of upgrades.

Thank you for your reply. I did not realize until after I posted that you were not supposed to ask questions and I was not able to delete it, so I appreciate your kindness.

Update

So when the Sky and Aqua went Expired and the RS was pending (greyed out) we put a small lid on CS (£1395).. No PH or RS were showing available but there were 7 CS available

Everything was pending and could not be modified until 11.03.24. At 1500 all bids were modifiable again but as soon as I went back in and upped the RS it locked into pending and all others modifiable.

12.03.24 all bids go to past and the CS is showing as Upgraded, RS pending and all others expired. Within minutes the new bag tags were ready, it was showing on the X app, new invoice and CC charged. 2 hours later shore side retreat concierge rang.

Very happy and looking forward to our CS suite!

General Comments: 

The Cruise was showing as sold out for the longest time so I was not sure they would even have MoveUp for our cruise, but some cabins opened up.

For lower category we bid the maximum but for higher we carefully calculated bids. None of our bids would have had the cabin cost more than if we had booked the cabin directly. 

We had such a great deal on our Veranda (V1) cabin with Classic Drinks Package, Basic Wi-fi and gratuities we had flexibility in our bids. We had upgraded our drink and Wi-fi packages when they went on sale. 

At the end the Royal Suite costs just under half of what it would have cost if we had booked it outside of the MoveUp program. You might think our bids too high but we are comfortable with the amounts and very pleased with the result. .

Congrats on your win! We were on Millennium last month Singapore to Mumbai.  Did a similar move up from a verandah to a RS.  Total cost was about 40% of the selling price on the web so a big win in our book. Alex and Connor in the retreat lounge were awesome.  Only 50 suites so they get to know you vs 200 suites on Beyond.  Different experience.  If Glenn is your butler we learned that we needed to be very specific in our requests.  Example, asked for Coke for the refrigerator.  He didn't replenish until we asked he keep it stocked.  Afterwards perfect so be specific in any requests.  Milly is showing her age a bit but the staff were wonderful.  Enjoy!

This sailing is sold out so I up'd my bids a couple of times as I saw that the cabins were being swiped up through regular bookings.   All bids except the Celebrity Suite were in the strong range.  Funny thing is though about 3 or 4 days before I received my acceptance I decided to decrease my bids slightly (maybe $100).  So here's to saving a $200 and still getting the cabin I really wanted!

If YES -  Bidding Details: We placed minimum bids for Sunset Sky Suite ($700pp), Celebrity Suite ($900pp) and Royal Suite ($1000pp.) After placing bids, immediately received an email for each category saying "You've been outbid" and giving us the opportunity (gee, thanks) to increase our bid. We decided to cancel all bids. Checked two days later and wal-lah, bid thresholds had come down substantially for all categories except Celebrity suite. We therefore placed a low ball bid on a Royal ($500pp) and Sunset Sky Suite ($350pp)

• Cabin Category: Sunset Sky Suite
• Bid Offer: $350pp
• Notification Date: April 4, 2024
• Accepted / Rejected   Accepted

General Comments (offer details, etc.) Suite availability (according to mock booking) was wide open at the time of our original bid - 5 Royals, 8 Celebrity and 12 Sunset Sky's open. There were also 8 Aqua Class Sky Suites but we didn't bid as those are located directly under Ocean View Cafe. Our Royal suite bid "expired" and the Sunset Sky went pending. Had no expectation of winning a bid, but were pleasantly surprised. That said, we're really turned off by the baloney "You've been outbid" emails. Love, love, love Alaska and look forward to a return visit on the Solstice!
