Royal Up - Timeline from bid to approved?

[TRAVELBUGCRUISER]

Hi Cruisers

 

I originally booked a GTY balcony for Thanksgiving. I have not been assigned a cabin yet however today I was able to do a RoyalUp Bid. How long does it usually take to know one way or the other if the bid was accepted?

 

Thank you!

Could be the day you board.

The denial email usually comes some time around sailaway.

I did a royal up bid once.

It was sort of last minute. Maybe about about two weeks prior to sailing.

I got accepted and assigned cabin 1 day before sailing.

I am on a cruise leaving this Sunday and the first mention of anyone winning a bus on our Facebook group was earlier this week on Monday.  Everyday a few more people mentioned getting their bids.  

 

I am in the group still waiting.  I have four in my cabin and am guessing that would be one factor to make it less likely.  The Royal Up link has disappeared from my cruise planner but I can still see my bids on the email link.  We won't know we have lost for sure until we are on the ship.
