Biker19 Posted June 15, 2022 #30 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Just now, cvasto said: What is the scanner site? Not allowed to specify TA sites here on CC, just sea what you can find - very similar to the skyscanner site. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandals04 Posted June 16, 2022 #31 Share Posted June 16, 2022 If I didn't receive an invite email do I have to wait until under 30 days to go directly to the Royal Up website? I'm at a little over 60 days and keep getting the 30 day error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted June 16, 2022 #32 Share Posted June 16, 2022 We just received the email for the August 14 sailing of the Explorer. There were twelve categories listed, we bid on three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elle_Bi Posted June 16, 2022 #33 Share Posted June 16, 2022 ....I actually booked by a TA but later on I received an email from RCCL directly, proposing me to bid with Royal UP, and so did I... What happens to my TA reservation (fully paid already) if RCCL ever accepts my bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvasto Posted June 16, 2022 Author #35 Share Posted June 16, 2022 one more question. we are a family of 4. If our bid is accepted, all members move with us, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even though you only pay for 2. As long as the 4 are all booked in the 1 room that wins the upgrade.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich Cruiser Posted June 17, 2022 #39 Share Posted June 17, 2022 We received an option to bid for the cruise we are currently on about four weeks ago and received emails weekly asking us if we wanted to bid on an upgrade. Decided to bid on three the last week and were successful. Received the confirmation about 48 hours before departure. We put in the lowest asking price. Currently docked in sunny Ensenada. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvasto Posted June 21, 2022 Author #40 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Wednesday is the 48 hour mark for me.... I'm a fair amount over minimum even though it still says my offer is weak.... really hoping we get the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusnbee Posted June 21, 2022 #41 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I was wondering if it may somehow be connected with your sailing status. I bid on one right after the restart and many people were upgraded while I was not. I was gold status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at a little over 60 days and keep getting the 30 day error. You can keep trying. I didn't receive an email at all for my last 2 cruises. I was able to bid at 90 days out for one and 45 for the other. I just kept checking until it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've NEVER won a bid! I bid slightly above minimum. Currently waiting to see if my bid is accepted for my upcoming Aug. Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlost Posted June 22, 2022 #46 Share Posted June 22, 2022 We have not tried this but plan to do so for our next cruise. I know the price you bid is per person (2) but is it also per day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike being near elevators on cruise ships and hotel because of the extra traffic/noise. Everyone's different! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
