Toddcan Posted March 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2023 In an effort to see patterns in the Royal Up process, I'm curious how many categories higher did your successful bid get you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Jewel, possibly fewer people sailing on an older ship. Or older passengers who don't do RoyalUP bids. Everything is very subjective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading your post, perhaps you’d have called that a two category upgrade as there was a larger oceanview cabin category🥱. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNemeth Posted March 3, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Bid and won just one time. Went from Ocean View Balcony to Owner's Suite. 4 night sold out cruise on Independence during Spring Break. Received notification more than 3 weeks in advance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They way I look at it was I could put in a bid for a 2 different balcony categories above what I originally had - so 2 categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply had a different, immediate word in the poll. Your example is interesting to me. My next cruise booking is a gty balcony on Odyssey. Per barcode trick, we got an 2E obstructed balcony. RoyalUp’s lowest offer the extended balcony. So, you and I started from same place (obstructed balcony, though mine is gty), but your win would be 2 categories and if I hypothetically won it would be one category. (It won’t happen…we like our partly shaded deck 7 porthole balcony enough that we won’t risk getting an extended balcony near the smoking area,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compman9 Posted March 4, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Just received confirmation of a Royal Up. Have gone from an interior to an unobstructed balcony for minimum bid of $20 each. Very happy, as wasn't really bothered which is why I tried the minimum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
