I hate surprises and I hate to wait Yes, this program is to help sell unused rooms. If insides are selling better they can move some up to open more insides up. If you don’t like surprises I wouldn’t bid. We found out right at 24 hours before boarding the ship last week. Even the stateroom attendant didn’t have us down for that room when we got there.

emen822 Posted January 16, 2020 #4402 Share Posted January 16, 2020 What is the earliest any of you have heard your bid was accepted? I know if can be up until the day before sailing but curious to see if people found out earlier. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beccaewert Posted January 20, 2020 #4404 Share Posted January 20, 2020 What is the link that people use to put a bid in? i know most get an email, but I’ve also read where some found the link and put their own bid in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truluv Posted January 20, 2020 #4406 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I didn't read all the way through, so I apologize if I'm asking something that has already been answered. I will be solo on Anthem in a month. I booked a JS (it's a birthday cruise 😊) with my usual TA. I'm Diamond, but only a cruise or two away from Diamond Plus. I rec'd the RoyalUp email with a few options, and made a bid on a 1-bedroom (my bid was about $750). I just checked on the status of my RoyalUp bid. I get a page with my name that now says ""Not eligible for upgrade." My boarding pass on the RCL site is showing my original JS cabin number. Does "Not eligible for upgrade" mean that my bid might be accepted, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsacoker Posted January 20, 2020 #4407 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Sounds like something else. .... guess solo traveler might preclude it. just a guess my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truluv Posted January 20, 2020 #4408 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks, Tulsa. That's what I was wondering. When I cruised with my family, things were more straight-forward. (I'm a widow.) For ex., now when I try to book a specialty restaurant online, I sometimes get a message to call them instead. They don't say solos CAN'T book, but they make it harder for them. The Royal Up program might be the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email was sent to my daughter through me but since we are doing a B2B in 46 days and have the same room all the way through, I ignored the offer. Ours was for a suite Cabin. At the time I booked us I should have gone with the JS at the start but since cruise is paid for i didn't want to add another $500 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime inside final payment (90 days), if ever, but, you can still just go to the site and see if you can bid without the e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truluv Posted January 20, 2020 #4416 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Tulsa: Yes - the bid I submitted was doubled -- priced for two passengers. I gave up & just called RCL. I was told that the "ineligible to bid" page was a glitch in the system, and that my bid is actually still pending. On the positive side, the representative made the birthday dinner reservation for me that the website wouldn't let me make as a solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tennislvr8 Posted January 20, 2020 #4417 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Slightly different royal up question.... Suppose you have 4 people, the max for your current room, on your reservation. You win a royal up bid for a room that can hold more people. Two questions (I know about the lifeboat requirements) 1. Would you be able to add additional people AFTER the royal up? 2. Would they pay the same amount as guests three and four or would they pay the going rate for the royal up room? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the royal up only charges the first two, I was asking if allowed to add guests after the royal up what would they be charged. It's a moot point now that you said people cannot be added to the reservation after royal up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
