Move-Up Question

[Cruisingirl2012]

How close to your cruise date do you get an email for offers on Move-up?  We are booked in Prime Oceanview, what would a move-up offer look like based on your personal experience?

90 days

I rarely get an invite for some reason even though signed up.    At 90 days I just go to the MoveUp site and put in Reservation Number and last name and am able to bid.

This last cruise we booked after the full amount was due.  Booked the cruise on a Saturday and got the Move Up email on a Monday.  Didn't bid as the prices were crazy high.

Didn't realize you have to sign up for it

We didn't sign up for it. Received a Move Up offer email about 2.5  months ago for our March 11th cruise. Bid the top bid amount for a Family Balcony cabin. First time on Celebrity and the ship is full, so doubtful we will get it.

Supposedly you have to Opt In to receive Marketing Material.    Even though I did I still don't receive the move up announcement. 

Another thing to check if you put in name and reservation number and get rejected.   Try your spouse (if a different last name).    Half of the time they are in Iain's Last name  and half in mine.

I recently received a MoveUp email 72 days out from embarkation day.

Originally booked in a DV Deluxe Verandah for a 4-night on Silhouette.

Starting bid amounts seemed weird to me and were presented in this order:

(Per person)

$1,000 Royal Suite

$550 Celebrity Suite

$800 Aquaclass Sky Suite

$750 Sunset Sky Suite

$1,500 Horizon Suite

$300 Sky Suite

No one understands the logarithms utilized by the 3rd party Upgrading Company as they are proprietary and thus unexplainable. 

I would first do a mock booking and see what inventory may be available at this time (72 hours out).   They will be locking down the reservation system at 48 hours so little time to think about it.

Good chance is the prices are based on current bids received and trying to get additional bids.   Also a good chance any bid would even be considered if that class of cabin is already sold out -  unless a cancellation comes in  today.

We are booked for Oceanview and i am hoping for a move up to Aqua.  We just love Blu dining so much.   Fingers Crossed

You don’t have to sign up, you can also go to the Celebrity website and click on “Manage Reservation” for your booking. If you scroll down you’ll see a link to for MoveUp.
