suamom Posted February 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2020 We are sailing out of NOLA on the Majesty next week. We are Diamond, close to Diamond Plus and have never had the upgrade fairy come to visit. We have never sailed any cruise line without sailing in a balcony. Im a bit claustrophobic and worried about not having a balcony on Majesty. Is Royal still giving surprise upgrades. I am hoping beyond hope for a suite w a balcony. I know the chance is very small but at least, I have a bit of hope... Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suamom Posted February 5, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Well shoot!!! I have received several emails about the Royal Up and its been $1000 for the both of us. Not worth it for this cruise. I was hoping the upgrade fairy was hiding somewhere near NOLA. We are booked on the Northern Baltic for this summer. We are in a balcony and our daughters are in an interior. I may be inclined to Royal Up to a suite then...but havent heard anything about that sailing, as of yet.

If you want a suite you are best just to upgrade yourself now and pay the going rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam0610 Posted February 5, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2020 No reason to give away an upgrade when there is a waiting line of guests willing to pay. My last three cruises we made solid upgrade bids, but lost each. Cruise for March we went ahead and booked a suite. (Wife's birthday. Wife Happy.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinNole Posted February 5, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The one and only upgrade we've received in nearly 30 years cruising on Royal, was on the Majesty in October, 2018. We were upgraded from a JS to a GS. They never informed us. I only found out because I went into our reservation to check something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen the prices drop on Majesty, we called and asked for the best price upgrade because the price went down since final payment and we were very happy to pay the $30 difference.

Kbonner Posted February 19, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I have seen the upgrade fairy yesterday. She was featuring on a parallel docked Disney ship on the big screen. She conveyed to never come back on a RCI ship as long as the Royal up program exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out how many Suites were available and it said they were sold out. Not sure why they would send out the form if they were sold out.

coppermouse Posted February 23, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Royal sent out Royal up forms awhile ago. When we booked the cruise they said the suites were sold out but yet we received the Royal Up form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotfeathers Posted February 23, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I checked in to see about my Oasis cruise in November. Was going to see if prices were down below what I paid for my GS. Very surprised to see everything about JS sold out. And this is for a 4 nighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
