We already have all of the Star class perks with our current suite. Ah, so it is basically just more space....the dollars per square foot increase ratio would have to be pretty low for me to take that as well.

sabres431 Posted September 15, 2021 #5152 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I never received an email. I googled Royalup, went to the webpage, logged in, and it let me bid. I don't know if it works for everyone or if it means I was getting the email anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Royal Up is available for that sailing and you are booked via RCI or a TA which participates, you should be able to bid regardless of any e-mail.

It's only 2 of us so it's easy to say no and be very happy where we are. im in CLS and my min bid was 3K for the royal so i didnt bid. but i did try the star loft for 820. while id love the royal in principle. i feel it was just be over kill for 2 people. have you ever been in it with just 2 people? i do realize theres value in the side private balcony and tub but i have a hot tub at home so thats no biggie. but to leave teh 2nd bedroom unused just seems too much even for me and i love extravagance lol. in a way i hope i get the SL but in a way i dont. it could face the rear of the ship and id prefer privacy but if i win. ill deal.

All my other bids read expired while one was still pending with no option to remove or change my bid. Both of these turned out to be "winning" bids. Maybe no rhyme or reason but thats how it played out for me. Same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmorg1234 Posted September 16, 2021 #5156 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I put in for a RoyalUP Bid on the Symphony (for the 50th anniversary cruise, no less!) and then looked to see what it would cost to just book the Aquatheatre suite without the RoyalUP form the suite we were in. Turns out it was MUCH cheaper just to cancel and rebook the Aqua Suite. We had a blast on that cruise- Reyno was our Genie in the upgraded suite. So just saying that perhaps price drops and whatever may come into play, so it doesn’t hurt to look. (Yes, I made the final suite booking 2-3 days prior to sailing date, so that may have made the difference?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgoff60 Posted September 16, 2021 #5157 Share Posted September 16, 2021 If you put in a bid on a Royal UP and it is accepted, do you get the associated point gain for Crown and Anchor? (Say from an OV to a suite?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently in a Ocean View balcony on the 7 night alaska on ovation. Min offers: GS 2 BR - $450 per guest GS 1 BR Large Balcony - $400 per guest GS 1 BR - $350 per guest JS - $200 per guest Spacious ocean view Balcony - $60 per guest Any suggestions? We've never cruised RCL before and don't know what is best over here.. For reference, we paid $498 USD/per person for our balcony GTY before taxes. Thanks We got the same options about a week ago for the 24Sept sailing of the Ovation. I went GS 2Bed: $650 (due to the big space, 2 bathrooms, and real separate bedroom), GS Large Balc: $450, and GS Regular: $400. Today sometime, the two smaller GS's are marked as 'expired", and the GS 2Bed is marked as 'Pending' but without the ability to 'Modify' it. Looking at the posts above, this could be good news in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzfool Posted September 16, 2021 #5163 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Just got our confirmation that our bid was accepted for upgrade on Independence of the seas sailing 9/19. I had bid on several suites, 3 of the 4 of which turned from pending to expired a few days ago. The 1 Bedroom grand suite stayed pending and today, 3 days prior to sailing it was confirmed. Very happy sailor.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering what chance my Freedom bid has. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLiles1961 Posted September 16, 2021 #5166 Share Posted September 16, 2021 We're on Independence September 27 in a balcony room and have entered bids for the Grand Suite, Owner's Suite, and the Royal Suite (which I was really surprised that it might be available). I just checked, and all three bids still show as pending. Fingers crossed, and congratulations to everyone who gets their upgrade! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted September 17, 2021 #5173 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I just checked my 10-2-21 RoyalUP bids. JS is expired and the GS is pending. Does this indicate that they are no longer excepting bids from anyone? I really didn’t check but was there a period of time that I could of adjusted my bid After the initial one? Do we know when they usually stop excepting bids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseygirl1416 Posted September 17, 2021 #5174 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I’ve got 2 bids in that both are marked pending but I can’t make any changes to either. Anyone ever have that? We sail 9/26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristyS Posted September 17, 2021 #5175 Share Posted September 17, 2021 If I win a bid on my royal up will they let a third member of my party join us? Or is it limited to the original 2 on the booking ? I bid on a star class suite so there will be room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
