One of the perks listed for sky class suites is dining in the room. I am assuming this is different from room service. Can anyone explain that to me please? TIA

I put our bid on Tuesday for April 13 anthem of the seas. Got an email today it was accepted. We went from a Jr suite to a sky loft suite for an additional $2500 total.

You can change your bid to a higher or lower amount but you can’t have 2 bids on the same cabin.  You can bid on multiple cabins. 

Thanks

You click on the offer e-mail and get to the bid page again. The existing bid category should show as such (which you can adjust) and the others should be biddable, but you won't get any other info or any status update.

Thanks. Does that allow for more than one bud per person? 

I did this once on Norwegian. It was $20 and there were 5 full size martinis..... Needless to say I don't remember much after that class. It was not offered on anthem last Mar or Nov.

I don't think you can check the status of bids. What were your upgrade prices/bids?

Well this is interesting.  We're sailing on Serenade of the Seas and originally put bids on the Owners Suite, Junior Suite, Grand Suite and Ocean View (no balcony).

 

When I check the status of my Royal Up bids, I get the following error when I click on Owner's Suite "No eligible cruise found."

Also, when I click on the original Royal Up email, the Royal Suite and Owner's suite are no longer listed to bid on.

 

It leads me to believe that the system then only offers rooms that have not received full payment rather than cancellations.  Otherwise, how would the system account for a cancellation unless a new Royal Up email is sent out?

 

 

This is one example of a few that said they checked the status. What are they referring to?

Grand suite was $500, owners suite was $750 and loft suite was $850. I am not at liberty to share my bids at this time. 

We are on the April 23 sailing of Anthem of the Sea.  We originally booked our Jr Suite on the ship and then transferred to a TA.  I received a Royal Up email today and put an offer in on a grand suite, owners suite and a sky loft suite.

How can you check the status of your bid?

I just got my royal up email today for my April 23 sailing on Anthem of the Seas.... I am beyond excited. We are currently in a Jr. Suite and put in a bid on a grand suite, owners suite and sky loft suite. We originally booked on our last cruise and then transfered the booking to a TA.

My wife and I are sailing on Allure April 7th.  We're currently booked in a boardwalk stateroom, 11329.  It's the very last room on deck 11 overlooking the aqua theater.  Because of its prime location, it was actually slightly more expensive than the other boardwalk staterooms.  Our total cost for the cruise fare without gratuities came out to $1,937.70.  Yesterday, I received my Royal Up invitation.  I can upgrade to any of the following: an ocean front balcony, a junior suite, a grand suite, a crown suite, an owner's suite, or an aqua theater suite.  I just checked a moment ago on the current pricing for the GS, CS, OS, and AS.  The total prices are as follows: GS - $4876.24, CS - $5676.24, OS - $6477.24, and AS - $7077.24 (all without gratuities).  Here are the Royal Up bid ranges that were offered: GS is $600pp to $2100pp, CS is $900pp to $3100pp, OS is $900pp to $3100pp, and AS is $1000pp to $3500pp.  If I were to bid the upper range on any of these categories, my current cost plus the upgrade cost would cause me to exceed the currently advertised price by a significant amount.  I wonder how many people get these Royal Up offers and make an immediate offer without doing their research.  It looks like around %60 of the range is a break even for RCCL.  A deal for me would have to be something less than that.

But you could bid in the lower range and win and those would be excellent prices for those rooms, thats the lure. 

IMHO any cruise is a great cruise. I tell anyone who will listen, a cruise is what you make of it

 If your family is excited, you will have a good time. It doesn't matter how close the Bahamas is, when my family moved to the Philadelphia area we swore we would visit NY reguarly becuase it was so close.... Regularly never happened, it was more like barely. Enjoy your cruise on the largest cruise ship in the world.

We booked a cruise for Christmas months ago.  Daughter is pregnant and baby is due in August.  We want to take the 4 month old on the cruise but RCCL will NOT allow a baby under 6 months.  They are charging us $100 PP for rebooking for 2020.  It's their rules that are stopping us from cruising.  Travel agent says they will NOT waive the $100 PP fee.  This is ridiculous and very unfair!

Why would you want to take a 4 month out of the country??? It's for yours and their protection the baby isn't allowed on thst young and I don't blame them. It's not unfair, you don't agree and it's costing you money so you're upset. 

Not sure about other ships but anthem always had Indian vegeterian choices in the windjammer, and my special order on the dining room.

That's worth watching but not sure if it works differently in uk, I know in the US you can cancel your cruise and rebook if you see your cabin grade at a lower price, we can't do that in the UK and wondering if its the same with the packages.  I will keep a eye on prices and give them a ring.  Many thanks.

Most times there is a penalty for that now, u less you booked a refundable cruise which comes w a higher price tag.

Hi Folks, have done a handful of cruises mainly P&O but this is first with RCI, so hoping you seasoned RCI passengers can give me the heads up.  Is it better to buy the package ahead of the cruise @ £46.11 per night or do they sometimes do special deals when you board the ship.   I've heard it can vary from ship to ship, we're going on Jewel of the Seas.

Any help greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Viv.

In my experience it's always cheaper before boarding. You can purchase and keep watching the price, if it goes down you can cancle and repurchase.

Is there currently a Love and Marriage show on Anthem of the Seas?

Yes there is... Its at an odd time, atleast it was in March, like early early evening, could have even been in afternoon.

It's totally a personal decision.... but I've never been a fan of pulling kids out of school for vacation.

 

But these Kids Sale Free sales always come along and only apply to dates 99% of all kids are in school and your devotion to your beliefs is tested.

 

I can sale for peanuts with the kids if I pull them out ---  Literally 1/3 of the cost of our spring break cruise on Allure.

 

I know the argument about learning more on vacation ---  My kids have been to these same islands,  at least 6 times, seen many educational things here.   but...... it's so cheap. hahahaha

 

I'm sitting here credit card in hand ----  with an itchy finger on the trigger.   Hmmmm.....

I am a teacher and I say do it, (I want to do it myself) but please don't ask the teachers for their work in advance. 

I was on deck 13 in March of last year.  We were under Johnny Rockets and the pool deck. Between the chairs being moved around and all the running late night and early morning... Never again.

A lot of us share the same opinion. 

I sure that same opinion. Years ago went on a crusie w my mother in law. She was in no rush to get to ship, we stayed in a hotel in FL, needless to say we almost missed the ship.

We just received the Royal Up offer on our March 2/19 and March 10/19 cruises.

Could you roivide details of the offers please? 

I have never done Giovannis but I have been to the other two. I would not choose Sabor, it was OK at best. Chops is a steakhouse, Giovannis is Italian.

I'd agree with you on both counts.  I only like CK fir breakfast and lunch.  Filet night is good, and maybe lamb chobs night.

We go to costal on lobster night, for the scallops.... They are excellent. I might try costal on lamb chop night, I love the lamb chops at Jamie's.
