If your bid was accepted, under "Upcoming Cruises" on the web site, under your reservation, it should look like first image below. If your bid has not been placed (or the system thinks it hasn't been placed) the second image below is what you will see. I don't think there's any way of knowing if the default bid is the current lowest among any others who may have bid thus far (if I understood your question correctly).
ETA: If your bid was successfully placed, you will receive an email from "Royal Caribbean - Royal Up" stating the bid was received.

It will accept any picture. I don't remember seeing "uncluttered, preferably white".
Yes, pretty much any photo will do but it must be of a medium-high res - I tried with a low res image and the web site (where I finished check-in) said to use a higher resolution photo.

Nice going, glad you took the time to put this together. Someone here did something similar 5-6 months ago but I don't know who and it disappeared into the depths of long past threads. Thanks again! 👍

Mine has always had 2 different days. It ended up being the later day each time.
Same here (as well as others above note). For months the app was one day earlier than the web site then about 60 days out, the dates sync'd up to the later web site date with was actually 12:00 AM departure port time 45 days out.

Kind of related. With the apparent devastating derecho that blew through the Houston metro area yesterday, I'm wondering if there were any effects felt from that in Galveston or travel to/from Galveston (i.e. from Hobby or IAH)?

Several months ago, my online check-in availability date had a one day discrepancy between the web site and the app - the app was one day earlier than the web site. About a month or so prior to the check-in, the dates synced up to the date the web site had shown all along.

Well, actually some have a online check-in date one day earlier than those in the JS, according to the Royal Caribbean mobile application. But we all plan to travel to the terminal together, check-in, and hopefully board together.
For a time, we too saw a one day discrepancy between the web site and the app for the online check-in availability date (the app was one day earlier than the web site). Then about six weeks or so prior to the 45-day availability, the dates aligned. It sounds though, as if your group is seeing a one day discrepancy only on the app across the bookings. Weird.

All good to hear. There have been quite a few pans of the "Columbus" show on this site, glad you found it entertaining. We will be on Harmony next month, looking forward to it as a 50th anniversary family cruise.

Should I be able to see linked cabins in account somewhere?
My memory could be off but if you're referring to the web site login, if you select the "Add another cruise" option at the top of the page for your booking, you should be able to add the reservation numbers of the linked cruises. Then they will all appear when you login in the future.

Nope. Not at all.
I was just saying that the quote from the Vexillologist that "All state flags can be flown at the same height as the US flag" was a bit simplistic. The actual Flag Code has a couple different situations. Then added some additional interesting parts.
I think my last sentence, in asking a question, was poorly worded - my apologies. The Texas state flag clearly has no special permission or dispensation in the flag code to be flown at the same level as the U.S. flag and on that I believe we agree.

That's a bit simplistic. Full Flag Code:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/7
to me, e & f has a slight contradiction. 'e' says that in a group of states or localities, the US flag should be center and higher. But 'f' says that no state or locality flag can be to the right of the US flag (or higher, but that's the same). Only really implying that state flags can be at the same height. So maybe group vs. just a single state or locality?
Moving on from just state flags.
The only place where it's explicitly stated "same height" in the code is in reference to 2 or more nations. It further says that In a time of peace, all nations flags should be at the same height.. The code differentiates between states, localities, and societies versus flags of other nations.
One last note, the UN flag can not be higher than the US flag anywhere in the US except at the UN.
The salient point in response to HicksRA is that the assertion that the Texas state flag is the only state flag allowed to be at equal height to the U.S. flag is false. I sense from your comment that you agree?

Ten of us are sailing out of Seattle this summer. Four cabins total in the group, but one is a Junior Suite. Those in the balcony cabins (non-JS) have an earlier check-in date by one day than those in the JS.
On embarkation day, will we all be able to check in and board together, or will those in the JS get priority boarding and just have to wait on the rest? We'd like to all have lunch together after boarding.
Thanks.
I assume you don't mean "check in date" but rather "arrival time", correct? If so, Biker's comment should be accurate in terms of actual check-in at the terminal, even if the cabins are on different bookings but all linked.

It also specifies "select" sailings departing between May 9 and May 31, 2024... pretty narrow offer selection.

Similar experience this A.M. - I can login and see the booking but trying anything beyond that just gives the "there's been a glitch" message and bounces me back to the login screen.

Thank you for your help! Our group is linked on the website but do not see where we are linked on the app. I went to RCI website help on and could find anything.
If your check-in window has not opened yet, this is how I've viewed the linked reservations in the app:
Tap the person icon at the top of the opening app page (alternately, swipe left)
Tap "Select a different cruise" on the next page
Tap "View all" on the next page
All the linked reservations should appear below yours on the next page.

I did this same thing this past week. All our reservations are linked and when check-in opened, I was able to select port arrival times for everyone in all the reservations. I'm leaving the remainder of the check-in process to the folks on those reservations.

If your check-in opens date is May 3rd, check-in will open tonight at midnight (departure port local time). Our check-in date was May 2nd and it opened last night at midnight (departure port time); earlier in the day the "check-in" button/icon at the bottom of the opening page of the app appeared (had not been there previously) but only gave a "check back close to your cruise" message. Then at 12:04AM, the check-in button allowed us to get into the check-in area and we selected our arrival times.
Reply to add: Just realized the OP was talking about the web site, not the app (OP doesn't specify what are the symptoms of the app not working). Mike above gave the info OP needs.

...... Not to mention plenty of times the website is not even up to date.
Indeed. Example: I was sharing RCI's mobile app online check-in user's guide from the web site (which is two years old) with my DD's and it's still showing vaccination as a step for check-in. How many posts have there been on this board in the last six months or so asking if vaccination proof is still part of check-in based on that document?

We always use private shuttles, versus scheduled/public shuttles where you must be on their schedule and often picking up others.
Private shuttles pick us up on our schedule, and we wait for no one. Always point to point. They track our flights and revise accordingly.
We always order airport to port area hotel for a day or two before cruise, hotel to port on embarkation day, then port back to airport on disembarkation.
Costs more, sure. However, the stress free travel is priceless.
True on all points for us as well. Costs more but you have dedicated transportation and you're in control.... mostly. Mechanical problems can always occur even with private conveyance.

Which pier were you at?
It's been nearly three weeks and the OP has not responded to your question but I too would like to know. Melandria's experience was at Langosta and I'm not familiar with Hacienda Tequila in the Puerta Maya or International port areas.

The images are quite similar but the verbiage is different, e.g. "Bid Now' vs. "Bid Status" and "Bid on the stateroom..." vs. "View, change or cancel...".
