ticketsunlimited Posted December 21, 2018 #710 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Word has it the up sell fairy and the upgrade fairy where both demoted for the "upyours" program. Rumor has it they are both bartenders on the EDGE"S magic carpet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two separate, unrelated things. But if you end up in a suite as a result of RoyalUp upgrade - you pay more gratuities, but you don't get more points since you are now in a suite. Again, unrelated, but why not give ALL suite passengers the same treatment? I did not read this whole thread, somebody might have mentioned this already.

Because all below-list price upgrades get the same treatment - no double points. What this program does do is that someone could bid over the list price and still not get the double points - which really sucks for the uninformed.

You can book a JR Suite get 2X points and not pay the higher gratuities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing when you got the suite through a free upgrade, then you shouldn't expect the extra points I guess,, but if you paid for it, even if it was below list price...

That used to be the policy a couple of years ago. However, in their continuing push to annoy customers, Royal has taken that away and you don't get the points unless you pay website price to upgrade.

cruisegirl1 Posted December 21, 2018 #718 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Has anyone gotten a bid accepted to a full suite and taken a cruise? I am curious of the actual benefits.

In both instances we liked where we were. The extra space was really all we got. I guess free room service was a plus. Cant think of anything else Change is coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted December 22, 2018 #725 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Just curious Let's say RCI is unable to fill some GS and JS by this upsell system. Do you think they will let the cabins sail empty, or what do you think their solution would be.....................free upgrades at pier?? The reason I wonder is we did a land vacation to Disney and booked the Contemporary for Halloween week. For months the Contemporary was booked out, or at least that is what it said on the Disney site. Well when we got the text to our room (Disney uses those magic bands) we were upgraded to a Castle view at no cost. Had we originally booked this room it would have been around $900 for the two of us. So at Disney we got a free Upgrade, not an upsell at check in time Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
