molly361 Posted April 7, 2019 #1851 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I think you still need to be invited for that link to work. I put our May reservation number in there yesterday and it did not work. We received a RoyalUp email today and now when I put our name and booking number into that link the offer appears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just going to edit my post. Guess we need someone that is sailing within 30 days and who has NOT received a RoyalUp offer to enter their info and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is under "What is the Royal Up Program" Thanks Danitrolind. This is the link I was talking about. However I still don’t understand how some people outwith the 30 days have been able to bid. 🤷🏻♀️🤔 Edited April 7, 2019 by Issyalex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on our cruise in May recently accessed it and bid for the Adventure cruise we are on. She had not received the invite. Of course, maybe it went to her junk mail, who knows. 🙂 Didnt know about it either. No one else in our group had seen it before.

Molly, she said she didn’t, but maybe it went to her junk mail, or the other passenger. She said she bid thru that link.

jacads Posted April 7, 2019 #1861 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I am currently booked in early July for Ovation of the Seas on a cruise to Alaska. We currently have a Grand Loft Suite booked for 2 adults and 2 kids which is already star class. I received a royal up offer from RCC for a Royal Suite today in my email. The bid goes up to $5K which would be $10k for the two people. No way I am going to bid that much. But I was wondering what would be a reasonable bid for something like this? Since the Royal suite can sleep up to 6 is it possible to invite 2 more people to go on the cruise with us? Thanks, Jacads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonogal Posted April 7, 2019 #1865 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Good value- yay or nay? $400 pp to Royal Up from accessible CLS to 2 bdr aquasuite or $800 pp to go up to Star Loft from the CLS. Help me decide if it's worth it!! We've never done any of these. Four of us traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to determine the bid amount but you might find out that you can't add anyone due to muster station for that section being full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally the 2 bedroom is a better option for four people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in this Royal UP and I am just finding out about it.. my cruise isn't until Next Feb 2020, and I booked it directly with RCL, will I get an email?.. or do I need to contact them to let them know I am interested? Thanks in advance 🙂 you can check directly on the royalC website. I found it through the FAQ. I plugged my name and booking number in and it said I had to wait until 30 days from sailing. But I plugged my husbands (different last name) in and he was able to bid right away. we bid on GS even though the website says sold out for that cat. I really wish it gave double cruise points, this next cruise in our balcony will put us at 29... so double points would totally boost us up a level Edited April 7, 2019 by cccult extra info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I’ve noticed people on this thread have been notified more than 60 days before they cruise, but have noticed they are all US residents. Does this mean us UK cruisers have to wait to see what, if any, is left? 🤷🏻♀️ I think it's a random selection. I checked my name and got the 30 day message but check my husband, different last name and he was able to bid. I've read other people had the same luck with same room/different last names.
