so far we are 0/6 royal up, I did bid on two (2) different rooms for our upcoming cruise, this is the first time we did GTY interior, never stayed inside, but we figured we'd save a ton of money, I did book a spacious ocean view room and a ultra spacious ocean view, only thing I can bid up right now. I did bid middle of the range on the ultra spacious and I see there is still 3 rooms available on our cruise 50 some days off. so we will see what happens.
at the end of the day we will be sleeping in the room, rest of the time we will be on shore or having fun on board.
if we get the royal up bid on this we will be saving a lot of money compared to paying to upgrade now, but like the last time we wont be holding our breath!
