Patches1966 Posted July 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2022 How often do people win a Royal Up bid to go from a basic interior room to an ocean view room? What is a good bid for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a good bid for that? It's impossible to generalize about RoyalUps. Way too many variables like the ship, length, how full it is, etc. Beyond that, no one truly knows how the algorithm works. All that said, I wouldn't bid much more than the minimum, but only you can put a price on the value of that window to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramja96 Posted July 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Is there a general time before sailing for when these are offered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rritter25 Posted July 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I found out earlier today that I won a RoyalUp from an interior promenade view room to a junior suite! The bid was $320 which was around the minimum bid required. I'm just over 3 weeks away from my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted July 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I've found that right after the restart you could basically name your price --- not so much now since demand has increased. It all boils down to how many cabins are available on which ship at which price which is impossible to know. Congrats on your winning bid!!!

fpcruiser Posted July 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2022 We went from an inside qty(great price) to a Spacious Panoramic ocean view on Freedom for a total of $120. Minimum bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted July 29, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 29, 2022 When we bid, we bid $6 more than min. But in general, we buy the room level we want. BTW: RCL leaves bidding for staterooms available even when they quite sure that the rooms are going to sail full. It’s a way to gauge how much people will pay.

Cap'nFlapjack Posted July 29, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Was on Granduer in Jan. this year. Met two couples that bid $55. and the other $65 and they won from inside to Large View . I bid on the same at $125. and did not get it. So no understanding of how they choose who gets what. I understand it is an outside company that handles it for RCCL. I asked on board why at customer service and they couldn't explain...although that evening a bottle of champagne was in our cabin when we returned..

Canadianmama3 Posted July 30, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I can no longer modify 2 of my royal up bids (sailing is August 25th). I can only modify one of them. All three say “submitted”. And now when I click on the original royal up email the two I can’t modify don’t even show up. Anyone else have something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the two that don't show may be due to RCI/Plusgrade limiting bidable categories. If you bid on something that is no longer offered, it will behave like that.
