NanciRDH Posted December 21, 2018 #276 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I no longer have any hope for my 12/29 Anthem offer getting accepted. I looked before i made it to check prices and availability, making sure the bid was reasonable mostly, and at that time (December 4) Sky loft, OS, GS, and balcony were all available. A week later all the suites showed as unavailable, and have been since, I didn't bid on a balcony since that's what we were in already. But who knows, maybe it's still a surprise waiting to happen, I haven't gotten the unsuccessful bid email yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not keep the two emails but I believe the stated minimum bids were the same starting at $150 pp for a GS and going up from there for other suites. Either they didn’t get many bites or they really want my aft JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted December 21, 2018 #280 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Have done 32 cruises with Royal and have 6 more booked. No offers. I too am wondering how they choose who to send them to. For our our last cruise I saw a price drop and upgraded ourselves. Happens rarely. But again no email offers.

You should get an e-mail right after you bid to confirm the bid. From initial reporting, Royal UP bid upgrades don't happen till fairly close to sailing (unless you bid some really high amount which RCI can't turn down) - you are still too far out. The day before sailing you should get an e-mail saying you did not get an upgrade. Biker19 - you were absolutely correct! My RoyalUp WAS accepted so moving into a Junior Suite (up from my balcony guarantee) on Deck 10! No email of “official acceptance” but got my final invoice from RCI which showed the new cabin # and the additional payment. So exciting. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does it matter if my preferences reflect no automatic upgrade which I assume is a perk of the past with this new program? Same question here. Seems that they may not send them if booked through TA. I always use TA and never get Royal up offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried about that one because we have a great balcony next to my sister and BIL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
