No, it just means that they have received your bid. You probably won't know one way or the other about whether you were successful until a few days before your sail date. We actually found out that one of our bids was successful about 4 hours after we boarded and had already unpacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for your initial denial email a month from today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike123abc Posted August 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2023 If people cancel/no show on boarding day Royal Up can happen on boarding day. When the ship is fully checked in and all Royal Ups are done they usually send out an email saying your Royal Up was unsuccessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get an official denial letter? I have 3 bids in & don’t want to repack. Also I go through the trouble of sanitizing everything & line drawers with tissue paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found out we got the upgrade when GS left a message on the phone in our cabin that they needed to talk with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what would have happened if you didn’t listen to message until the next morning or didn’t come back to your room until midnight. Maybe they would have paged you. Anyway good for you.

molly361 Posted August 8, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I always cancel mine the day of the cruise or when I get onboard. Once I'm on I'm not moving 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your bid is accepted, you will be charged and can not reject the cabin. If you don't want to be in this position, it is best to cancel your bids while you still have access to them.

Modifying or Cancelling the Offer Guest may modify or cancel an Offer up to 2-hours prior to the cruise departure date, but only if the Offer has not been accepted by RCI and if the Credit Card has not been charged (the “Offer Period”). If Guest modifies or cancels the Offer during the Offer Period, the original Offer will be voided, and if applicable, replaced with Guest’s modified Offer. Voided or cancelled Offers will not be reviewed. Edited August 8, 2023 by molly361 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know our emails saying we did not get the Royal Up came at sail away because we laughed at the timing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baowen Posted August 8, 2023 #18 Share Posted August 8, 2023 With my last few Royal Up bids on the Navigator I received a response saying they would notify us once we were onboard. I did then receive a "bid unsuccessful" email from them that first evening onboard. I am going on the Navigator in a few weeks and I received an upgrade to a Junior Suite from an Oceanview Balcony 4 weeks before the cruise. So you just never know !! BTW -I bid $105 each and this was for a free Casino Royale cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
