Some have had them locked only to receive the 'you didn't win' email. Others have won. I wouldn't give up hope, though. Some have been notified as close as the 2nd day out from sailing. Hope you get it! 🙂 I have bids in on that sailing too and both my JS bid and my GS bid still say "pending". I think we got overlooked all the way around. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the GS's are gone now but there are still 56 JS's left so I'm still holding out a little hope. 🙏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espn Posted October 20, 2021 #5529 Share Posted October 20, 2021 No change to my bids for Sunday on Allure and no change to the suite inventory. It is probably still a day or so too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week now since my GS bid expired and my JS bid remained at PENDING but became locked as far as the ability to Modify or Cancel. On one of the FB groups for the sail date - appears GS's wins got assigned yesterday and one person commented they got their JS accepted - I just continue to wait patiently (not really) wondering if the inability to modify at this point is a positive indicator... Still waiting for the 10/25 Freedom sailing. My JS bid has been locked for days, no way to modify. All my others are expired. Fingers crossed for both of us that locked=woohoo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august16th Posted October 20, 2021 #5531 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Just went to do a mock booking on my cruise, and it shows JS as Sold Out, although my bid still says pending. Sold Out to me looks like the cabins have been assigned, but the lack of email or cc charge makes me think it's over ☹️. Maybe things will change in the next few days, but it'snot looking good...

cynt Posted October 20, 2021 #5536 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I received my RUp offer for my Christmas cruise! Exactly 60 days until we cruise. I've been checking RUp almost every day. I almost screamed when I saw the email. We were looking for a cheap getaway for Christmas so we purchased an inside guarantee. I submitted a bid for a balcony. Here's hoping we get it. Let the waiting begin. 36 connecting ocean view balconies74 spacious Oceanview balconies110 total balconies remaining Edited October 20, 2021 by cynt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rhyme or reason if and or when you get an offer. Royal algorithms. They always keep us guessing. 🤔🤯🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigma Cruiser Posted October 21, 2021 #5542 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Has anyone received a Royal Up email for the 6-day Anthem on November 8, 2021 out of Cape Liberty?

triplemom3 Posted October 21, 2021 #5544 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Received free casino cruise card in snail mail on Oct 5th for one of 4 or 5 different cruises. We chose to book the Serenade 4 night departing Tampa on November 4th, inside cabin and requested invoice for taxes on 6th, and invoice paid on 7th. Royal Up offer in my email on the 8th for 4 options, Oceanview, Spacious Oceanview, Ultra Oceanview and Oceanview Balcony. No suites on the RU offer. Put in bid for all but regular Oceanview as we are currently inside on a upper deck and do not want risk moving to a much lower one just for a window, lol. All offers are still pending but number of cabins available on these upgrades are dwindling fast on the website so not holding out too much hope. Will keep you posted if I hear back, but does anyone know when the offers expire, or if they sit there as pending so there is still hope? This is my fist RU offer… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most reports suggest bids stay in pending status till you get approved or denied. BTW, not being able to bid higher than a balcony when in an inside is normal - what's offered depends on what you currently have booked.

cruisecrazy222 Posted October 21, 2021 #5546 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I put in a bid for my Cruise on the Odyssey for a junior suite - currently in balcony. we are three passengers. there are an obscene amount of double junior suites available but no triple junior suites. It looks like the whole deck 9 is triple and quad JS cabins. Anyone have any idea due to capacity if Royal is just holding these cabins in inventory? I cannot wrap my head around that every single triple JS is sold but hardy any double JS? I was able to bid on a GS but again, none showing for sale.

august16th Posted October 21, 2021 #5549 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Received my email upgrading me and my husband to from obstructed view balcony to JS on Freedom sailing October 25, 2022! I really thought we'd never win. I bid $10 over minimum. My documents haven't changed yet, though. I guess Royal is just trying to keep us guessing... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
