The reality is that the additional perks you get on a Freedom class ship are nowhere economically comparable to the upgrade cost. Other than the additional room, you really don't get anything that equates to the upgrade cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is directly related to the amount of wealth one has. The more wealth the lower the value of money vs creature comforts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted November 14, 2021 #30 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Congratulations ! The OS is awesome even on non-O/Q class ships. The room is enormous and you will have a full dining table and chairs plus you can order complimentary room service. Great upgrade. Have a wonderful cruise in your OS. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted November 14, 2021 #33 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Congrats to you. I've got offers in 5 different suites on our upcoming Liberty cruise. I hope we're as lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handbellplayer Posted November 14, 2021 #34 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'm sure this is a stupid question - please be patient. How does one get these offers? Is there a place to sign up? We are Diamond - maybe a higher level is required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligibility doesn’t typically change, you either are or aren’t. This usually only changes at the beginning of eligibility, maybe about 60 days out from the sailing. The folks on the Roll Call thread for your sailing can tell you if that sailing has started getting offers.

But you can go to the Royal Caribbean website page and search "Royal Up" and find it that way, too. Edited November 14, 2021 by smwg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be a Debbie Downer. They'll get more than they would in a JS. Many people, for example, are VERY happy that they can get MDR meals delivered to their suites during meal times. They get free room service deliveries. They get unlimited - not voucher-based - drinks in the SL during Happy Hours. And no more pesky Pinnacles bothering them there. 😉 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have NO IDEA what he paid for his original cabin OR how much he paid for the RoyalUp, your comment is based in "fantasy". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others seem to repost getting emails with the offer. We were booked in a balcony and I received an offer to bid on several categories up to a full suite. I don't remember which type of suite. The lowest bid was more than if I would have booked the higher category to begin with so I didn't bid. This was only my second cruise with Royal Caribbean in 20 years so loyalty status was not a requirement. My son who has sailed on Royal more than we had and booked the balcony next to us never got an offer. I kept getting an email with the bidding offer up to 2 days before sailing. I never acted on it.
