lovetocruise/diamond Posted March 22, 2022 #7253 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I understand that you can receive your upgrade even after getting on the ship but curious approximately when most people receive their upgrade? 2 weeks prior to sailing or when???

Thank you for the info. We had the ability to place bids on several different types of suites but when I do a mock up booking it only shows 1 suite available, grand suite. (May TA cruise).

adidas5676 Posted March 22, 2022 #7256 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Has anyone recently had a bid accepted to a room that a mock booking didn't show any availability for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not recently, but one explanation at least thru 31Mar is RCCL has purportedly been limiting bookings to 50-65%. We won our bid last Aug (first time!) when our sailing was at 25% capacity - even though online showed sold out. This means that even though mock bookings show sold out, there's still inventory available to RoyalUP to - which brings additional revenue to RCCL. So don't lose hope, keep the faith, stay positive, and just maybe, perhaps... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read thru the almost 300pgs (OMG!) of this thread you'll learn that a Pending bid with no option to modify is a good sign - but not a guarantee...

texasweather Posted March 24, 2022 #7267 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I have connecting staterooms so I’m assuming I won’t be able to try this for this cruise, yes? This is pretty much only for one-offs and/or groups who don’t care if they get split up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much only for one-offs and/or groups who don’t care if they get split up? That's correct. There's no way to upgrade connected or adjacent staterooms together via RoyalUp -- you have to actually change your reservation and pay the going rate for the new rooms if you want to keep two rooms together.

jagsfan Posted March 24, 2022 #7272 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I won my bid, my card was charged. I’m happy. But why was my cc charged less than my bid??? Has that happened to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Cruisin225 Posted March 25, 2022 #7273 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just got my Royal Up email for Adventure in June (Bermuda 5 night). Currently in an aft balcony on deck 9. I’m fine with my current room and don’t usually try to upgrade through this program, but the minimum bids are pretty reasonable. $60pp for Junior Suite, $80pp for Grand Suite, $125pp for Owners Suite. Definitely gonna have to try for some of these. I know I wouldn’t get the double points for being in a suite, but my wife would kill for a real tub instead of a phone booth shower. Thoughts?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
