Yes, several thousand less for the two of us... Really do feel lucky to have won the bid

Congratulations!!! My wife and I did the exact same thing last week and it was amazing! We never did get an email so I called the 877 retreat line and inquired if I would get an email but they jsut took down the information from a form they read aloud to me. They asked about pillow preferences, canapes, what two liquors and any other beverages we wanted consistently stocked. Asked about dinner reservations etc etc.. We did get Premium Wifi and Premium Beverage package that came with the RS (they refunded us they money we paid to upgrade those we paid for prior to sailing). Also rcvd daily extra canapes, two bottles of wine and champagne and we had them bring us dinner in the Suite for Christmas. Was an excellent experience and will definitely upgrade again and spend quite a bit of time in the Lounge/Michaels as it was small, intimate and with great people Craig

Again, we had the Classic package in our original booking. We purchased the $6.99 Premium package but they refunded when we went to the Royal Suite as it is an amenity of the Suite, same with WiFi

Exactly like FrenchKona described... Pretty amazing experience. Only thing not the same on the Reflection is the separate Retreat Sundeck. Other than that, very very nice. Would have spent more time in Michael's Club (The retreat bar) if I went back, If you do, give a warm hello to Daniel and Brian the bartenders, they are awesome

Zacapa 23, Woodford Reserve Double Barrell, etc

But I can tell you that my experience coming off of Reflection from a Sunset Veranda with a winning Moveup bid to Royal Suite did come with Premium Drink Package and Premium WiFi along with the 2 bottles, specialty dining, etc etc

Just back from Reflection and no upcharges in Michael's.. somewhat limited selection but no upcharges

Now back from the cruise, I can confirm that through MoveUp to Royal Suite from Sunset Veranda that I received Premium Wifi for 4 Devices, Premium Beverage (they refunded my purchase of WiFi and Classic to Premium Beverage), access to all Specialty Dining for Free and no gratuities (beyond the extra I gave since they paid them of course), access to Luminae, etc etc

So, booked on the Reflection in a Sunset Veranda suite for 12/23. I was offered the Moveup bid program and won the bid for a Royal Suite. I had already paid for an upgrade for Premium WiFi and Drinks (the reservation included Basic). I called yesterday to confirm and they agreed that it comes even with Moveup and refunded me the upgrade for both. Having ready all of the posts with so many conflicting posts I called again just now and it was confirmed again that they will be included in my reservation. Obviously I will not have to hope that both people as well as their supervisor from today are correct. I can log in again after the cruise to confirm.
