Chances are 99% you get a JS so sure you can bid on something higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted November 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Yes, but you do risk paying for an upgrade to a room you may already get through your GTY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We book suite GTY when they are available and also bid through Royal Up. We then were assigned our suite and got a 2 bedroom grand suite. I was able to cancel our bids on grand suite and owner suite but do not want to be in the position of not being able to cancel a bid and "winning" a cabin that is of lower value than what I was assigned, so we will not do Royal Up again when booking a GTY. I know it is rare to get something other than a junior suite, but it does happen. Edited November 18, 2023 by reallyitsmema 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the others that a suite gty nearly always results in a JS assignment; anything else is rare. Don’t get your hopes up for a free upgrade. If I were booked in a suite gty, I’d bid on the upgrades as if I expected a JS. I would keep an eye out for my assignment and cancel the bid if by some chance I was assigned a full suite. Watching for the assignment would include doing the “barcode trick” on set sail pass within 45 days of cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is key. There have been a couple of posts here about people who didn't cancel their RoyalUp bid after they upgraded on their own, and they were actually downgraded when they won the bid. Once a RoyalUp bid is won it can't be reversed and the previous cabin is lost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetSkeeter Posted November 18, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the info everyone. Makes sense. I will go ahead and place a couple bids and keeping watching for what cabin I get assigned! Edited November 18, 2023 by VelvetSkeeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be so lucky 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
