Rare BillOh Posted January 28, 2019 #1029 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Forgive me for not reading the whole thread, do I remember hearing correctly if bidding is available for your cruise, you get email notification. Any examples of how far ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start folks were getting them around 3 months out but now it seems like they are coming out even closer to the cruise date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Babe Posted January 28, 2019 #1032 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Still waiting. Have not received an email yet on any of our 13 cruises booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscobeans Posted January 28, 2019 #1033 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Ours is leaving on Feb. 03, and a veranda stateroom just showed up on the RC website. Looks like the accepting and rejecting is not done for this cruise with only 5 days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robandana Posted January 28, 2019 #1034 Share Posted January 28, 2019 We have not received any Royal up email either and I have spoken to people on my sailings and many did....not sure if it's because I use a TA for my bookings. Everyone I spoke with was booked directly thru Royal. Is there a sign up place...I get 5-7 emails a week from Royal now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked a truly last-minute 'family cruise' on Indy, for next month. We snagged one of the last JS's, and got a nearby inside cabin for our son and his family. He called me yesterday, saying that he had received an e-mail from RC, encouraging him to put in a bid for a higher grade cabin. That same morning, I had pulled up our cruise and it showed 'sold-out' in EVERY category, except for 'inside guarantee'. I told my DS not to waste his time or energy, because (from what I could see at least) there was nothing on the ship to upgrade TO. I really think you don’t understand the system. You will never have the ability to see last minute cancellations. One last minute suite cancellation would then open up the 5 levels below, bc Esch cabin could be moved up one tier. 6 people could get upgrades. So instead of one free upgrade as in the past. They move 5 cabins, make money and have 5 happy cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkr2 Posted January 29, 2019 #1049 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Correct. Computer based algorithms are probably quicker and more efficient. And I wasn’t aware they ever had an advanced upsell system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might net more money than a trickle up program. 😉 Hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
