Group of 7 traveling in 3 rooms, JS, Balcony and Inside view whatever that is called.  Hubby placed minimum bid on offer and we haven't won yet.  Brother did not bid and keeps getting new emails to bid.  Daughter was slighted and never got an offer.  Hubby and daughter scored casino comp rooms.  Brother paid 200% to sail single.  JS and higher are sold out for our December 16th cruise so someone would need to cancel for us to win the bid.  We are happy with our current cabin but hubby wanted to bid to see what happens.

2 cruises in the next 4 months both of which folks have received offers, none received by us so you are not alone

 

You probably have a special notation in Royal's database.

I have not received an email but my daughter got one this morning.  She is in our suite.  I thought I read that the bid was for the first two people but when I actually read it it's pp.  Our cruise is sold out and leaves in a few days.  I'm not going to bother to bid a minimum of $2400 even though I'm sure the suite is beautiful, I'm happy where we are.

Thanks!  I didn't read far enough into it to get the details.

Don’t be fooled by the “sold out”, definitely bid if you are comfortable with paying. I got an accepted bid  yesterday for a sky loft suite on our anthem cruise in January. You never know. Can’t win if your not in. Good luck!!🍀

Thanks. I did bid but I was told my bid was weak!  Congratulations on your sky loft suite!

Just curious on the particulars of your upgrade acceptance? If you wouldn't mind answering a few Q's? What room did you upgrade from and how much did you pay?

 

Thanks!

That doesn't really describe me though. 

 

Could be many reasons for not getting upgrade emails.  Maybe as simple as the flakey Royal IT.  For years people have complained about not being able to get RC emails no matter what they try.

It will be a mystery that may remain unsolved.

I don't even look at prices as much as I did in the "old days"

 

I think we should all look at prices when we see someone report a bid being accepted.  Might be a precursor to a price drop in the upgraded category.

Booked room 9632 JS/large balc.  paid 5312.08 with casino discount/ cert applied includes free gratuities.  I applied 2000.00 in Visa rewards. got my own insurance.  3312.08 total (not including insurance)

Upgraded to Sky loft suite 1500.00 per.  I will now cancel my WIFI package as it is now included.  I was getting double points already.  The rest is gravy.  This cruise with the 24 points will get us to diamond.  $6312.08 for 12 nights in Sky loft  suite out of pocket is hard to refuse.  Dan

Thanks for the details, I'm also in a JS on an Anthem sailing in Feb, I bid 600 pp for an upgrade to Sky Loft, chances are it'll be declined based on your offer!

 

Cheers
