    RoyalUP? (Bid for stateroom upgrade)

    I was just thinking about this earlier today.

     

    Think of all the already 'upgraded' cabins that will also be bidding on RoyalUp chances. It makes sense that RC would open a few of these up for bidding as well, in case they win their bids and then become open.

     

    For example, I bet a lot of these balconies everyone bids on are actually full/sold out. But as the balconies win their bids into suites and the like, they need to have a list of people with OV/Interiors that are willing to bid into balconies.

     

    So essentially just think of it like a ladder system, and everyone is kind of bidding on things higher above them, often hoping that the one one above them moves up a rung so it frees up the rung you want.

    Your ladder system explanation really clarified the process for me; thanks!

    The first time I filed a travel insurance claim I had a policy that was Secondary to my regular insurance. My regular Blue Cross insurance did not cover me out of the United States, which is why I purchased the travel insurance prior to the cruise. First I filed a claim with the travel insurer and they informed me that I must file the claim with Blue Cross first, since they had the Primary coverage. (Even though I knew B.C. would deny it.) So I filed the claim the 2nd time with Blue Cross and waited. After 2 weeks Blue Cross said that I had used the wrong claim form (I used the form that I had always used for my B.C. claims.) Blue Cross sent me the correct International Blue Cross claim forms and I filed the claim for the 3rd time. Two weeks later I got the denial letter from Blue Cross and then I filed the claim a 4th time (along with the B.C. denial letter) with the travel insurer. I then got a reimbursement check from the travel insurer. All this was before the internet and had to be done snail mail, with me sending hard copies of all the forms and medical receipts. From then on I made sure that my travel insurance has Primary coverage so that the process is quick and easy. Hope this helps someone out there.
