Move up question

[grest]

Sorry, this is probably addressed somewhere but I cannot find it.   Our cruise is still 3 months away, but I see in the move up thread that some have already submitted bids.   I have plenty of time, but absolutely cannot put in bids until "less than 21 days before  your cruise".  I'm wondering why the discrepancy.   Thanks.

I fought this in November. Research indicated the Move Up email goes out at 75 days out. However, I didn't get one. I self-booked and was paid in full. I finally reached out to Celebrity Engagement and they sent me a link so I could bid. Unfortunately, all the rooms were sold by the time I got all this sorted out. It accepted my bids on PH and IC (I was already in an EV) even though sold-out.

The offer to bid has nothing to do with available inventory.  Bids are accepted on sold out categories all the time and could be awarded if there are cancellations.

I’ve used it several times prior to getting any emails saying bidding is open.

Sometimes I get the email early.  When I get the email, it lets me put in offers.  If I go to the link outside of the email, it tells me I am too early and to wait until 21 days.
