Are there upgrades room available? If there aren't I cant imagine you have a chance. When mine was accepted there were almost 10 of the view rooms available. 

Probably not, but it's still out there I guess in case if last minute cancellations or no shows.  I've made my peace with it. 😏✌🏽

I received my accepted email about 2 weeks out on navigator. Minimum bid on a basic view room. I did watch and see what rooms weren't filled yet when I bid. 

And what did you find? I ask because my cruise fluctuates between sold out suites to entirely booked. Still haven't heard back yet. Less than two weeks out.

If you are a gambler? URComped is a company that "matches" comps from previous sailings.

IE: If you gamble in Casino Royale, or ANY other cruise casino. And, you get mailed "Bounceback" offers. Or, earn a "certificate" from one of the ships casinos. They can get you discounted and/or comped offers for several different cruise lines, and land based resorts such as Baha Mar, Celebrity, MSC....

It's free to make an account. And, easy to upload your existing offers. No cost to you.

I've been on 6 cruises through them.

Wow ok.

Just received the "Royalup" "win" for our December 15th Oasis cruise.

Ocean View Balcony Bid minimum was $50/person. I bid $115/person.

This was an upgrade on a URComped, fully comped Central Park Balcony cabin.

Very happy. 

Will be a nice surprise for my daughter.

What is URComped?? 

Well that sucks, enjoy your cruise!

Got our rejection 22 hours before sailing.

 

Adventure

8 nights

sail date 11/9/2019

received offer 2 months prior

Diamond plus

booked thru Royal

Spacious balcony

 

Bidding

Jr suite. $235 pp a bit above minimum but still a weak bid 

grand suite $450  pp which was above the minimum but still a weak bid

Both bids rejected

 

We really didn’t expect it and are happy with our cabin although a suite would have been nice.

I had my RoyalUp offer accepted today. I am on Symphony on November 30th. I am going from a grand suite to Star Loft #1724. I bid on October 1st, the first day I got the email. Minimum was $1700pp and I bid $1860. In total it is still half the price of what they were asking every time I checked. I’m very excited!! 

I'm calling it Terrific Tuesday! Congratulations on your upgrade! Have so much fun for me!

So less than 24 hours later my bare minimum $200 offer got accepted for the grand suite.  As another data point, my father got accepted for $500 pp on a 2 bedroom grand suite about 48 hours after his offer (same time mine was accepted).  Navigator of the seas Dec 16 sailing.

This is awesome! I love reading the good news from everyone. Happy Sailing to you and your family!🛳⛴🛥

So just got a surprise from RoyalUp today which was totally unexpected..an email that our Crown Loft Suite was accepted!!!  Was surprised because a) our cruise on Harmony isn’t until Dec. 1st and b) I put in a crappy bid.  I put in a strong bid for a Jr. Suite thinking that would be cool and bam....crown loft was accepted.  Why I have no idea but here is how it all went down.

 

Booked a standard ocean view balcony for 3 last week, got an email from RoyalUp to bid on an OS, GS and Spacious Ocenview.  At that time I did the minimum for the OS and GS.  Then a couple of days later I noticed that they had hump balcony rooms available for like $30 more than my standard so I called Royal and changed to that and paid the $30.00.  Later that day I received an email stating that because of my change my previous RoyalUp bids had been cancelled and that I can click here for a new offer.  I clicked away and now had the chance to bid on the Crown Loft, OS, GS and Junior.  I bid $1300 for the Crown, $1000 for OS, $700 for GS and $450 for Junior Suite.  They were all minimum except the Jr. Suite was strong, as I was thinking I am good with the Junior.  

 

So today when I received the email, to say I was a little shocked is an understatement.... not sure how that all works, but I was really thinking we would not get any offers as there was still like 14 hump rooms left.  I told my wife that I didn’t think it would be accepted because there does not appear to be that great a demand for 4 person hump rooms, so no hurry to move us for someone else.

So happy and excited for you guys! We're going on Harmony 2 weeks after you, so I hope to hear something soon too! I've noticed the pattern on this thread (assuming everyone's dates were correct) that the responses come out on or around Tuesday of each week. This of course, excludes those notified within 24-48 hours from departure.

Happy Sailing!

Btw, technically the crown loft was the highest bid-money wise. If you remember that RCL is in the business of making money. 1300 is more than what they would have had if you didnt bid at all!

I placed my bid for a RoyalUp offer about 2 weeks ago. I am just over 5 weeks before cruise now.  Everyone on my sailing is talking about how the edocs and luggage tags are available to print. Mine are not.  Does anyone have any experience if this is because of the RoyalUp? Only thing that would make sense to me. I haven't received notice either way but at least gives me hope I am still in the running. lol. 

 

I know there has been a lot of talk about if the RoyalUp is worth it.  Personally everyone should take a look at the prices for their individual sailing. For me to upgrade from an interior to a balcony on my sailing starts at $1,000 extra for the 2 of us in the room.  The min bid started at $360 extra for the two of us. . That to me seems worth taking a shot.  

We are sailing on December 15 Harmony , got an offer about 2 weeks ago and I've heard nothing either.  But, my luggage tags are available. 🤷🏽‍♀️ maybe I'm not gonna get upgraded...
