Royal Up Upgrade

[1bravesfan]

I just did a Royal Up Request for a November 26 departure.  When do they normally notify you if your request was accepted?

You can browse the many Royal Up threads for some feedback - anytime between bid and the night of sail away.

Pretty much after you have unpacked, had dinner, went to the show, and then had gone to bed that first night on board.  That was when I got my denial email.  😖

Hey Pat! Say hi to Bucky for me.

Any time up to 2 hours after sailing

WE got our denial from the loyalty ambassador well after we set sail 2 weeks ago on Grandeur.

I should have done my research before putting in a bid.  I bid the minimum on a suite and grand suite.  It would be a bummer to miss out on some of the Suite Perks if they were to accept after the ship had sailed.

Would someone be able to share the link for the Royal Up?  I cannot find my email now even though I know I received it.  From past sailings, I remember you have to put in your name and sailing date so I don't think the link is person/booking specific.

It is very much person/booking specific. First result on any search engine result should be it.

Thank you carlosalonsor!

 

@Biker19,  As I said it is not booking or person specific.  You have to enter this info as you'll see form the link above.

Look at the form again - it asks for the Reservation, i.e. booking, number. Book a sailing with Costco and then see if it's not booking/person specific.

You got it bro...hi back at 'cha!!  🙂

For me it's a strange situation. 

 

I booked directly with RC and I keep getting the 30 days error message, however there are other fellow cruisers in the same sailing who have been able to bid.

You don't miss out, you will be notified onboard.

It's a good idea to check to see how much an upgrade would be.  Sometimes it is less than the minimum Royal Up bid.  Royal Up could end up costing more than a regular upgrade.

I thought your sail date had to be within 30 days?

Not necessarily. I have received my RoyalUp e-mail when I've checked in 45 days out on my last few cruises.

I'm 58 days out and got the ridiculous royal up email. They must be making out like bandits. Just too too high. Dec 4th. Cant even check in yet but well past final.

Royal Up offers can come at any time between final payment and sailing.

And we got one upgraded the same way.

It is on their website all the way down at the bottom.

We just received one for our sailing in two days.

I am too lazy to repack and move.  This last time, once I was already on the ship, already in our originally booked cabin, and unpacked....I cancelled our bid since I had heard nothing from Royal UP.   😉

I received the 30 day notice when I tried a couple of weeks ago for my November cruise but this morning the RU email was received 37 days prior.
