Chiliburn Posted October 28, 2019 Author #2 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The bid is per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted October 28, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) 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.

The_Big_M Posted October 29, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2019 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.

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 TO MUCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. They would want more money on the bid for a suite than a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted October 29, 2019 Author #24 Share Posted October 29, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted October 30, 2019 #25 Share Posted October 30, 2019 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. The terms and conditions of your original cruise booking will remain in effect following the acceptance of an Offer or if an Offer is not accepted. This includes terms and conditions pertaining to cancellation, penalties, changes, the Crown & Anchor® Society. Accepted offers will earn Crown & Anchor points at the original stateroom category purchased, and not the category of the upgraded stateroom. Upgrade does not include any additional promotions.
