Casino Comp Chick Posted July 19, 2021 #151 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) 8 hours ago, PigsCanFly said: We got a Royal Up Bid request for our Sept 26th Oasis cruise on Friday and again today. Minimum bids ranged from $5000. pp (Royal Loft Suite) to $300. pp (1 br Grand Suite). We are 3 in a Junior Suite and will likely not be bidding. We like Junior Suites. But maybe it implies that the ship will sail! My guess is it will sail as they have already scheduled the test cruise from Bayonne for Aug 22-28. Personally I would probably bid a little over the minimum for the grand suite to get the extra perks like all day Coastal kitchen, the suite lounge with beer & wine 11am-11pm (which will only be for suite guests and not C&A tier based) and the suite deck. As you are 3 people an extra couple of hundred per person would be worth it to me. Edited July 19, 2021 by Casino Comp Chick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy0214 Posted July 19, 2021 #152 Share Posted July 19, 2021 So I am 5 days away from my cruise. Yay! my Royal Up still says pending. I bid up from a junior suite to a grand suite. I keep checking my email. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we paid was the 3rd person costs and a small upcharge for 2 of us for the 2 person to 3 person upgrade (and Tax/Fee/Port). I am the only drinker (wife and son do not) and I do most of my partaking while in the casino (Masters tier) with an occasional use of the Diamond drinks when the casino is not open. I will keep the RoyalUp $ for casino play. To each their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bid on two bedroom grand suite and two bedroom aqua theater suite. Fingers crossed for you and us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doraemon777 Posted July 28, 2021 #158 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The Crown Loft Suite. We booked a JR suite for a very good price so even if we don't get the upgrade we will be fine. We did put bids on Star Loft Suite down to Grand Suite with a total of 6 different bids but as of today all but the Crown Lofts Suite shows expired on status. We will see what happens 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doraemon777 Posted July 28, 2021 #159 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I was under the impression from reading the forums that the bids don't expire this early since we have a little over two weeks to go for the cruise and I thought we can change the bid amount til 72 hours before or something like that? I guess this bidding thing is new to me and I've never really tried it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedley_odwin Posted July 28, 2021 #161 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Got confirmation yesterday that our bid was accepted for Anthem of the Seas on 1st Aug. Upgraded from a spacious OV to a JS, placed the minimum bid, I'm assuming we were lucky because the ship is only running 50% capacity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just returned from a 5 night Anthem sailing where we upgraded via Royal Up from a Balcony GTY to a JS with a ridiculously low bid. Enjoy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had luck getting through for 8/14 Symphony sailing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
