We head out about 7 am tomorrow for San Pedro, a 500 mile trip. I have realized that we can do muster drill and health questionnaire both before boarding so that will help. I just checked and there are now three 2-bedroom grand suites available (there were only 2 of them yesterday) There are three grand suites also available to book. I doubt someone is going to book them tonight or tomorrow, but you never know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can swing it, bid on a sky class suite- so many more perks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabel the Great..Dane Posted January 16, 2022 #6355 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I am sailing on the Odyssey on March 20. I've read other posts where people who are cruising around that same time have received emails notifying them about Royal Up opportunities. I used a travel agent--does that affect whether or not I would receive one of these emails? When I go to the Royal Up page and input my information a text box pops up saying I need to be 30 days out from departure date, but apparently others don't have that issue. Just trying to figure out if I should be on the lookout for one of these emails or not because I used a travel agent instead of RCL directly.

No, I used a travel agent as well and received the email directly from Royal with my royal up options. I received the email around 45 days before my cruise.

danp2482 Posted January 16, 2022 #6357 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hi everyone. I'm hoping some of you can help me out with some info. We are on the Odyssey Jan 29 sailing. We're currently waiting on a Royal Up from interior to Ocean View Balcony or Large Ocean View Balcony. We've had successful royal ups in the past but never even knew you could see status of them. The other day, my wife noticed that the large ocean view balcony had gone expired and ocean view balcony was pending, which seems like a promising thing but now yesterday, the pending ocean view balcony went unavailable and the expired large ocean view balcony went back to pending? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible yours does not. Or perhaps offers for your March cruise will come later. Not much you can do except check back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cello56 Posted January 16, 2022 #6359 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Since our big box travel agent doesn't participate in the Royal Up program this cruise is the first time we have had a chance to bid. Our initial bid started out saying "Pending" and now is says "Recieved". Does this mean anything? Not expecting to win the bid, but it was fun trying! Our cruise isn't until March.

Our cruise isn't until March. if you are on the site, you should be able to click on 'offer received' and that takes you to any offers you made. That is where you'll see it show up as 'pending', 'canceled' etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on six about halfway between the aft elevators and the aft. It was a TA comp cruise so I can't change it but I'm good with the location. I don't think they even sent me an upgrade offer for this one. Might go in and check but since I'm solo on this and an upgrade would not mean ay points there's not much point in paying any extra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're on 14 right under the pool deck or something like that, I don't think there are very many 'bad' locations on Oasis class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else I was fine with although I do prefer to be closer to the aft elevators as opposed to the forward ones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are due to sail on Thursday, and upgrades have been awarded every few days in batches, with some just in the last day or so.

FireEMT978 Posted January 17, 2022 #6375 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I just got a "RoyalUp" email today. What really surprised me, is that they are touting it as a "Promo" Royal Up offer. The minimum offer amounts are crossed out. And, the minimums are lowered by 25-35% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
