Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

    Congratulations - enjoy!

    Just an FYI... We're booked in a JS and had submitted 4 RoyalUP bids for GS thru RS - all bids showed "SUBMITTED" when I checked daily until exactly 24hrs prior to our scheduled sailing departure time: Received 4 emails (one for each bid) advising that our bids were unsuccessful, and when I checked the RoyalUP webpage all bids showed "EXPIRED" - no surprise here, since none of that higher stateroom inventory ever became available after we booked our JS.

    It's probable, but not a GTY 😎

    While waiting patiently, suggest that you check daily for an opportunity to self-upgrade... An OS became available about a month before our cruise last month for the same price differential as our RU bid, so we self-upgraded from a Spacious OV Balcony.

    Congrats - enjoy!

    Just received the RoyalUp email 24hrs before sailing that our minimum bid for the Royal Suite (which has NEVER been available to book) was unsuccessful. Oh well, we'll just suffer... haha Let's get on that boat! (sorry, Ship!) 😎

    I just got off the phone with the RCL Service Desk and confirmed: Internet is not complimentary on Navigator nor any other Vision, Radiance, Voyager or Freedom class ship. However... Since it was our RCL vacation planner's misinformation & mistake to cancel our Internet Pkg when we booked a suite upgrade, the RCL Service Desk comp'd us enough OBC to cover the cost to reorder it - so we scored free internet for our cruise! 😎
  9. Ready2SailAway
    Hmmm OK I will call RCL and let you know - don't want to spread misinformation...

    For us the additional interior & balcony space of a GS vs JS, as well as access to the SL vs DL, is worth the price of a reasonable RU bid. And FYI internet is included for GS & higher - even on older ships. For our upcoming cruise on Navigator, the RCL vacation planner reminded us of that and reimbursed us for the cost of the VOOM WiFi Internet Pkg we had originally purchased for our Balcony stateroom after we self-upgraded to a suite...

    Keep checking the RCL website for a lower price to self-upgrade, perhaps try calling them to see if they can get you a better price. Otherwise, hope you receive a congratulatory email soon that your RU bid was accepted!
  12. Ready2SailAway
    FYI Three days after we self-upgraded from Spacious OV Balcony to OS, received an email from RCL saying they cancelled all of our previous RoyalUP Bids due to our reservation change and need to submit a new Bid for upgrading to RS – with a new bidding range: · Royal Suite: $280-$1750pp
  13. Ready2SailAway
    Indeed, good advice! Glad to hear you got that sorted out - so which stateroom category did you upgrade from and to?
  14. Ready2SailAway
    Makes sense - and you probably still saved overall vs the cost if you had originally booked a JS. Congrats!

    Here was the reply from CC: Hi there, Royal Caribbean has not notified us of any date by which they will start having meet and mingle gatherings again. When they do, we will of course post this information on the forums. In the meantime, many members are arranging gatherings among themselves on the roll calls. If you check the roll call for your cruise, you or another member can suggest an informal gathering onboard. Cruise Critic Community
