You may have to call to have them reissue docs. After my upgrade the online set sail pass was updated but luggage tags still had the previous room. A call to C&A and update luggage tags were available within a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Plusgrade and Royal Caribbean for their ignorant upgrade attempts! Royal may need to take upgrade offers in-house in the future. There is apparently an issue to bid again 24 hrs later when you self upgraded. Edited January 11, 2019 by coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 11, 2019 Author #878 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Got my first Royal Up email. Our Sdventure sailing in 10 days or so. Since we are sailing in separate cabins the upgrade is only one person. I'd bid, but not pos see ible while on ship. Will try Saturday. The VP looks promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster Posted January 11, 2019 #882 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I blame Plusgrade. The company that Royal partnered with in this new upgrade process. Edited January 11, 2019 by coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster Posted January 11, 2019 #883 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Plusgrade/ Royal Caribbean promised a follow up email within 24 hrs for me to bid again on a balcony or higher. It didn’t happen. A new email today asking me to bid more on my second cabin on Rhapsody was sent today. Plusgrade/Royal Caribbean.... Juat be on the same page. Inventory wise and the emails you send to guests regarding upgrades. Edited January 11, 2019 by coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusinthrough Posted January 11, 2019 #884 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Has anyone been upgraded to a suite or if already in a suite to a higher suite? The upgrade wins seem to be up to a balcony room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im ok not getting them for our March break cruises as I’m happy in the cabin we have and I wouldn’t pay to upgrade. On our Christmas cruises I’d welcome the chance to upgrade.

I bid recently at lowest allowable bid for three different upgrades. Now patiently waiting. Sold out Grandeur February 2019 cruise. May get lucky. Probably not. Inside guaranteed room. $1,691.09 for 2 leaving out of Baltimore Maryland 12 nights is price we paid. Booked in November 2018 during stock market dip. I swear cruise ship prices dip when the Dow Jones is down. Great to hear of your good fortune. We will be on Liberty of the Seas for 7 days on the March 10th sailing. Original booking was ~$1600 for an inside on deck 6, we are now in a balcony on deck 9. I bid the minimum of $100 ($200 total). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 11, 2019 #893 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) The bids, IMHO are to replace the upgrade fairy. They will hold those bid offers in a pool until the very end (in case of cancellations) and use them to fill the ship where needed. This was previously done by the upgrade fairy (the sweet free one) or her sister the $$$ upgrade fairy (who would call pax to upgrade for a price). So say a permanent goodbye to the upgrade fairy...RCI figures "why give away...what you can get money for?" RIP upgrade fairy. 😞 Edited January 11, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade wins seem to be up to a balcony room. This kind of makes sense when you think about it. Those who have booked full suites face a penalty of $100 PP if they cancel their booking so it seems logical that fewer suites are being made available through cancellation. Since there is no such penalty for lower cabin classes (assuming they booked using a refundable deposit option) those rooms would be more volatile due to cancellations...not to mention the fact that there are just more of them to start with.
