Cabin floods, husband cheats on wife, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on Oasis next month in a balcony and got an offer from $500 pp for a GS We are on Symphony in a CP balcony in March and got an offer from $800 PP for the GS remember these upgrades do NOT provide extra C&A points.

Rare twangster Posted November 29, 2018 #379 Share Posted November 29, 2018 If Royal was smart with RoyalUp in place, they would modify the last minute cancelation penalties and offer an FCC for last minute cancellations. $50 for OV, $100 for a balcony, $150 for a JS, $200 for a GS, etc. I did a no-show on Majesty when my daughter graduated AF BMT. It all happened last minute and I was in 100% penalty. I didn't notify Royal, I simply did a no show. Maybe a last minute hurricane or mechanical issue would impact my sailing and I'd get a refund. Why notify and cancel? I'd get zero. I got taxes back even as a no-show so there is no reward to notify Royal if you need to cancel within the 100% penalty period. My cabin likely sailed empty. Now with RoyalUP they should introduce a last minute FCC for close in cancellations. I'd take that and the RoyalUP line of succession can kick in. The $200 FCC would be offset by all the RoyalUp line of succession revenue upgrades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tljcruiser Posted November 29, 2018 #380 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I too received the email for a cruise that is listed as sold out for cabins that accommodate 3 passengers Navigator 3/15/19 9 night sailing. We are a party of 3 the email stated GS $500pp Jr Suite $250pp minimum. I have 3 other bookings currently May 2019 October 2019 and March 2020 nothing received for any of those. Final payment for the March sailing is next week so maybe there will be openings at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridaythe13th Posted November 29, 2018 #382 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have two cruises booked (Jan and Feb) and I have not been notified about bidding. I'm hearing that my TA doesn't participate. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted November 29, 2018 #383 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Your TA will receive notification of Royal Up email sent but has no control over your decision to participate or not participate. If they have stated differently- I recommend finding a better TA next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one to email a company president. I just asked here because this is a very active thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amybk27 Posted November 29, 2018 #390 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Just received our up email this am. We book the Harmony for winter break (popular week) Feb. 17th. When we book Monday, and I called again yesterday to check, there was no room higher than a crown loft so that is what we booked. We asked to be put on a waiting list for the Star loft. Well on the up email this am, they had the Star Loft, 1300, Villa Suite, 2100, 2 Bdr Aqua 500. I put in a bid for Star and Aqua. What I am wondering is did they purposely not sell these rooms in hopes of making more money? I figured we wouldn't get an royalup email as there was nothing to move up to available.

We leave Sunday and I have been calling for weeks looking for an upgrade from our JS. We got an email yesterday to RoyalUp to a GS, OS, or Royal Suite, so I am wondering the same. When I call the casino office, they show sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticketsunlimited Posted November 29, 2018 #393 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Heres another twist for you all. Yesterday I immediately bid the max amount for an upgrade on the OS, Slyloft, upper loft, and GS. I am on Anthem 1/6 12 day its our 30th anniversary and I said what the hell lets see what happens. We are currently in JS/lg balc. I went to click on modify today and now the "max bid" is higher than the offer I made yesterday. Thats a game changer for me. If They are going to continue to raise the bar without us knowing thats not very cool. They will just continue to raise the max bid to raise revenue on already guaranteed money from earlier bids. If they are going to continue to raise the bar on the max bid that is not cool with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
