Was told by RC employees I am friendly with. Not sure if they made public announcement or not but that’s what they have been told. 

RC has docked all ships until at least May so that’s likely why you are getting the error. 

I was in a star class suite on Anthem this past April. Got the Royal up for the only bigger suite on board and I bid the minimum which was 2k. About two weeks later the minimum went down to 1400. Nobody won the bid as far as I know. 

Amen! He’s incredible. I’m hoping he gets into the oasis that we booked for next February. A real class act. Can find zero fault. Wonderful experience and yes Jesus was amazing!

Have read about several Anthem Genies, but haven’t seen any feedback in regards to Shane Palmer.  Has anyone had Shane before? 

We  just got off Anthem with Shane as our Genie. 2 adults and our 6 yo dd. Shane is incredible! Everywhere we went people knew and spoke highly of him. He always created us with a smile and got to know us throughout our trip. He handled every change in schedule with ease and we had many since weather was a factor. We never waited or wanted for anything because Shane had planes and taken care of it all! When we disembarked (last off the ship at 9:30) my dd wouldn’t let go of him so that should tell you all. He’s a tremendous asset to RCI and you will be well cared for!

Is this from a GLS to an OLS ?  It wasn't clear from your post what the upgrade suite offer is.

 

The only way I would consider moving SC to SC would be if I was already booked in one of the corner Deck 10 GLS.  We were in 10720 a few weeks ago and we were so disappointed in that room.  Not SC level, IMO.  If I were in 8724 or 8324  would probably not pay any additional money for an upgrade as those are very nice suites.

 

I'm sure the OLS is overall bigger but not enough additional space/amenities to make it worth more money to me.

This was to go from the grand loft to the royal loft. Extra 700 square feet and extra enclosed sleeping space for the lo. Plus bedroom balcony with hot tub and swing. Would be interesting to be sure but I’m happy either way. Not on a corner suite currently in 724.

We are in competition.  😉

 

I like the idea of the Royal Loft because the kids can sleep on the pull out in a room with a door that closes.....with the bedroom loft layout....a little privacy gets lost (even though I love the giant windows and wouldn't give them up).

 

I'm sure the people won't cancel .

I hear you. Since it is undoubtedly a money maker I wonder if there is a difference between upstage from grand loft vs owners. Down the chain money. It’s all a fascinating new venture for them. My TA claims to hate the idea. I love to gamble so I find it fun!!!

The program certainly is an interesting diversion for the weeks coming up to the cruise when you are the most excited and think about cruising all the time.

 

I received an up offer for my April 13th sailing to move from the owner loft to royal loft on Anthem.

I have 'known' from when I booked the Royal Loft was booked and paid for in full already because the rep told me that when I was trying to book it 😉 .  I booked 3 days before the 90 day out full payment due so feel pretty sure I won't get an upgrade.

 

When I got the upgrade it had a min bid of $1500/person.

When I pulled up the interface it showed $1500 min and $4000 max as upgrade bid options.

 

I bid what was considered 1 step above weak and I have checked it weekly since placing with it showing as 1 step above weak.

 

I went back and checked the interface today, clicked on modify and what I had bid is now the MAX bid that can be input and strongest possible. LOL

 

I still have no expectation of getting upgraded but thought it was funny.

We have been booked in a grand loft suite on anthem for the 13th departure for a year now. Got the email to royal up with minimum 1500 max 4000. Then 3 weeks later minimum had dropped to 1200 with maximum 2000. The upgrade isn’t a huge advantage as still star class but the extra room and the hot tub on the bedroom deck would be nice. Will post back when I get denial or acceptance email. It was unavailable to book even when I booked originally over a year ago....
