franklin7425 Posted February 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2020 In response to an email from Royal, i placed a bid on a junior suite for my April, 2020 sailing on the Harmony. The email said I could be notified anytime up to two days prior to sailing. In reality, when can I reasonably expect an answer regarding my bid?

molly361 Posted February 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Anytime time from now until a couple of days before just like they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam0610 Posted February 27, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We have been notified as late as night prior to cruise. Last 4 bids were all turned down. Have a strong bid in now for March 20th, no word yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemomof3 Posted February 27, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We got our upgrade exactly 24 hours before we boarded Mariner in January. Even the room attendant didn't know he had different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze24 Posted February 27, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We were notified of our bid being unsuccessful the day before the cruise - probably around the 24 hour mark. Turns out the entire ship was booked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTHodgeman Posted February 27, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We are 15 days out from sailing right now. People in our Role Call/FB group have been mentioning getting upgrades for the last two days. I have not heard anything on mine yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pthjudy Posted February 27, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2020 How does the Royal Up originate? From RC or us? Never used but considering. What is the procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pthjudy Posted February 27, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I guess I wait for the email or go to website 30 days out. Our cruise is mid April. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't, all the issues generate the same error you are seeing but, it could be caused by several different things like: the sailing is not eligible, you are not eligible, you are using the wrong name (try all of the ones on the reservation), your TA opted out, etc...

You can wait for an e-mail (which may never come) or keeping going directly to the Royal Up page (maybe once a week) and keep trying with both names on the reservation.

JacqueO Posted February 28, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Two people on my roll call (march 8 ) have already received their acceptance email. Our CC hasn't been charged and we still have the option to change our bids... Does anyone know if they roll this out slowly? Or is it done all at once?

Not sure what you mean but bids can be accepted at any time (likely to happen during Miami business hours). The cc being charged seems to come about a day after the winning e-mail.

Ok then there's hope. lol When I go to the royal up bid page I tried bidding on another room that we had not bid on (we bid on 4 of the 5) and it won't let me. Gives me a "we're sorry but you can't do that now". I CAN adjust the price of the current 4 bids though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI delivery of e-mails is known to be problematic - their ability to take money out of folks' wallets, is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
