The upgrade I really want still says pending and it can't be modified. Is this a good sign? I think so! That happened to me last week for my Explorer 1/16 sailing. I'm hoping it happens again for the second week of my B2B. I keep checking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted January 4, 2022 #6105 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I just received the RoyalUp email for my February 18, 2022 Navigator cruise (45 days out and was able to check in this morning). We are currently in a Grand Suite. The cruise is showing SOLD OUT for all suite levels but I put a Strong Bid ($250) on the Owner's suite and a Fair Bid ($600) on the Royal Suite (I was also able to bid on the 2bd Grand Suite, but not interested). If any of these upgrades pan out it will still cost me MUCH less than had I booked either one of these suites months ago when they were available. I am very happy with our current suite, but I figured it doesn't hurt to try. I'll keep you all posted. Happy cruising! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presbycruiser67 Posted January 4, 2022 #6112 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Well, I am a happy man today. My $100 total bid for an upgrade from an oceanview on deck 2 to a balcony (on deck six) was accepted! And I got the oceanview for a really low price to start with! Now all my daughter and I have to do is test negative for Covid ... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixiejen Posted January 5, 2022 #6116 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi all! Couple questions please… We are booked on the Allure Jan. 16. I have not “checked in” yet because we’re still trying to decide whether to cancel. May have an issue with an elderly parent, and also concerned how strictly they will enforce the mask protocol. I don’t mind masking up while indoors from point A to point B, but don’t want to have to mask up between every bite and every sip. Any idea how how they’re handling it now? Also, we have put in a couple bids on RoyalUp and thought maybe we’d wait to see if we got the upgrade prior to checking in. So is there any problem rearranging things if you get the upgrade but are already checked in? And IF we end up canceling within the 48 hr window but had already won an upgrade, will that be refunded to us?? Sorry to throw so many questions in there!! But grateful for any advice you guys might share! Thanks so much! Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still pending last night (and able to modify). I was VERY surprised to get the “congratulations “ email around noon today. We sail in 4 days.

Our set sail passes and luggage tags automatically reflected the new suite once the RoyalUp was processed today. We sail in just a few days. As to masking, we don’t know exactly what to expect… but we would be surprised if we had to re-mask between bites/sips in any of the restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI doesn't want our money...too bad. 😉 So, unless I get lucky in the next few days...we are back to the JS. But it's actually a very, very nice JS on deck 11 right on the hump. One of the nicer JS cabins we have ever seen. How many bids do you have in? Hope we both get lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
