Royal up bid

[Chiliburn]

Wow I got a RoyalUP email 

 

[Chiliburn]

The bid is per person.

[Chiliburn]

I’ve checked my online agents website and the cabins offered are not available.

We have a grand suite , and on the website there’s no suites available.

The offer even has the Royal suite, I’m confused ????

 

After some research it’s suggested that RoyalUP is aimed at data gathering.

Gathering information on market and how much people are prepared to pay.

Not really. They see what people are willing to pay by what they book and sell already.

 

It's contingency pricing though. If someone cancels at the last minute, it's a great revenue opportunity for them as they get your upgrade, and then flow on upgrades into your cabin from others.

How far out do they send these??

We got ours the other day for our December cruise, we put a bid in for a suite (from an obstructed oceanview), it was accepted within a few hours.

Thanks, I will have to have a chat with Mrs G so I can make a quick call if I am offered one.

You make the bid but there is a minimum / starting price (for the whole cruise).

We were happy, it is still cheaper than a balcony was when we first signed up.

We are about 40 days.

you would look good in the Royal suite,can you play the grand piano?

[Chiliburn]

If you’re not very musical,you could use the grand piano as a dinner table.

[MicCanberra]

I ate on a piano once, the food had Key ingredients

Thanks, Miss Gut was telling us about hers on Ovation, I guess I might get one in a month or so.

[Chiliburn]

Would food scraps affect the tuning

I don’t think it’s so great,it’s per person.

 I was half interested in the owner’s suite and the bid range is $1000-$4000

Sure would and most instruments don't handle food getting in or on them, don't get me started about organ hygiene

Yeah, I suppose those lamb shank and lobster bones down in the workings of the piano would dull it down.

It's the crabs that are worse, need to wait for a high tide to get rid of them.

Lower grades e.g. balcony are a lot cheaper. Suites like chiliburn got are much more..

Makes sense. They would want more money on the bid for a suite than a balcony. 

[Chiliburn]

If you were in a interior cabin and a upgrade to balcony for $200 would be great.
This offer isn’t worth it to us ,we only get a suite for the benefits and we already have that.
We have a junior suite on Ovation coming up and would be interested in a upgrade for the extra benefits.

[MicCanberra]

The thing with the upgrades is that not all the perks do not come with it, we will not get double credits being in a suite.
