However it appears even though it is not public it is not anonymous either so it would certainly factor into my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfer Posted December 5, 2018 #155 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I just received my upgrade e-mail. I am in an aft JS on Enchantment, leaving Monday. I pushed the button last night, with a bid of $275.00 pp, but then I saw the location of the GS's. I prefer the aft, so I went in this morning, cancelled that bid, and replaced it at $150.00 pp, the lowest bid offered. I may never get this close to getting a real suite ever again, so I figured, what the heck. If I get it, it will be something special, if I don't, I am perfectly happy where I am.

Cinders411 Posted December 5, 2018 #157 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This was my first RoyalUp email. I guess they really do exist. Sadly, we are spending so much money on the land portion of our New Orleans vacation/cruise I just could not justify spending more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioPeri Posted December 6, 2018 #159 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) They're making a hard push for my upcoming sailing (Adventure, 1/5/19). I just got a second email reminding me that "there's still time to participate" in this "exclusive offer." We're in an aft balcony, so I have zero desire to "upgrade," but here's what they're pitching: Royal Suite from $900 pp Owner's Suite from $500 pp Grand Suite from $400 pp Junior Suite from $300 pp Panoramic Suite from $200 pp Edited December 6, 2018 by RadioPeri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am curious as to the difference between what you paid and the current price of a JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that what is seen as unavailable on the website sometimes is not accurate. However, I also suspect that this upgrade thing has some market research goals too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been lots of folks getting offers for sailings and/or cabin categories that are sold out. Interesting to see offers for the Panoramic suites as well. There are only 2 of them on each ship and I'm pretty sure they are just about always full unless someone cancels at the last minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They show booked for a year ahead of the cruise and then a month or two out become available. I have seen it on many cruises over the last year that I monitor. Anyone know why? Do TA's or something book and hold them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about that but I noticed with the new releases for the NV and MA that the prices are now way up on them since they are officially getting suite benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louv2000 Posted December 6, 2018 #168 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I got an upgrade! paid $630 U.S. (for the 2 of us) to get a 1 bedroom Aqua suite (upgraded from a grand suite on 9) Not sure if that's a deal or not--but I'm pretty happy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted December 6, 2018 #169 Share Posted December 6, 2018 ^ that's very likely less than the list price to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to surprise my husband. He's a flowrider junkie and will be thrilled with the close proximity. And I'll get my exercise from walking that long hall all day :) As an aside---I bid on this suite and a crown loft suite. I bid the same amount for both and actually modified the aqua suite bid a few days ago---LOWERING it!

hellsop Posted December 6, 2018 #173 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Let's see how this goes... Dec 29th sailing Starting cabin OV(6N) Bid range allowed: $10-500pp JS, $10-800pp GS Bid placed: $250pp JS, $255pp GS Guess-o-meter rating: "Strong" and "Strong" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswallow Posted December 6, 2018 #174 Share Posted December 6, 2018 BTW, the meter is simply a linear relationship between your bid and the low/high bid it allows. Don't read anything into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bid up to about half of the difference in total. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
