cruisefan0110 Posted December 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2018 We are going to be on Indy this January. Last week I got the email for the Royal Up options. We are travelling with 2 other groups. Neither of those got an email. Is this something that all passengers are given the option to? To be exact as to all of the details, my wife and I are Emerald. Couple #2 is Gold. Couple 3 is a father and son on their first cruise. So is this something that maybe trickles down to see how many people bid? Thanks.

Who gets the option to bid is not dependant on C&A status. Edited December 11, 2018 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanciRDH Posted December 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2018 We got the invite, or actually my 13yo daughter got the invite email. I never get emails addressed to me from Royal, but they have it on file because I'm the one who always books the cruises, they just send it addressed to everyone else in my family but me lol. So, anyway, I bid on her behalf, since I'm the one with the credit card. 😁 I know they may not notify me if the bid was successful until as late as 24 hours prior to the cruise, but does anyone know how quick they let you know if it's not accepted?

At 24 hrs to go you'll get a denial e-mail. Mods, feel free to merge this with existing Royal UP thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefan0110 Posted December 12, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I did find it amusing that my wife and I got one, and my son got one. My daughters did not. So they picked the top and the bottom C&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you bid up on NCL, you only keep your existing perks, not the ones of the new level. So on Royal you would also pick up perks? That seems odd but nice.

Other than double points on a suite (when you had something below a suite) you get all the perks for the new cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the NCL benefits are more of a bonus, you choose from a list. Not that way on Royal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
