How does this work? Recently on a back to back. We booked a junior suite. Before the cruise we got a message to bid on a grand suite on both cruises. Got on cruise and was told it was a full ship on both legs. I am thinking to myself how can it be full and I am getting these upgrade bids?
at the end of the first leg the back to back passengers are gathered in a holding area on the ship to go through customs. We happened to be seated with a family that had a comped room. Matter of fact a grand suite (first leg was 5 days). We told him of our junior suite.
He explained his method of getting a comped room to us. Then we got our new sea pass cards. Ours were blue, (second leg 9 days) and when he saw that he said wait a minute that card should be gray? He showed us his gray card from first leg. When he got his new card it too was blue. He had a junior suite which perplexed him. I thought it a good manners not to say anymore.
My question did Royal send me those upgrade alerts because they wanted more money from me. Are those comped rooms written in stone are is there fine print indicating that a you can be moved at a moments notice. Am I supposed to believe that a fellow who has the wherewithal to gamble for high ticket rooms did not know the difference between a grand and junior suite?
