dmrichards26 Posted February 7 #6701 Share Posted February 7 2 minutes ago, jilluh said: If you're in a room solo, do you pay for 2 people or just 1? The RoyalUp system is based around paying for two passengers. Whether you have 1, 2, 3, or 4 people on your reservation, you will pay 2x your per-person bid.

jilluh Posted February 7 #6702 Share Posted February 7 Just now, Biker19 said: You pay the bid amount x 2 (regardless of how many are in the cabin). Don't remove her - have her be a no show. Thank you for the advice! What is the benefit of her being a no show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a comped interior through the casino so not such a huge issue. The minimum for an ocean view is $15 pp, spacious panoramic is $20 pp, and balcony is $50 pp. Great prices for an upgrade from interior, so was thinking about going for it!

bucfan2 Posted February 8 #6711 Share Posted February 8 (edited) For anyone willing to jump thru all of the necessary protocols and willing to cruise w/ them, what a great time to experience (potentially) significant upgrades for very little $$. Take advantage of the times before the 'winner' of the race is determined (protocol easement vs. bankruptcy). Note: some believe they can stay alive on 30-50%, port fee only cruises and $100 upgrades from an interior to oceanview balcony or oceanview balcony to GS lol.

I got five emails last night at 7:05 showing each of my five suite bids being unsuccessful. I, too, wanted that RS. Let’s go bribe the state room attendant in that area to tell us if anyone is in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter4me Posted February 9 #6715 Share Posted February 9 We had a bid in for a GS and I wasn’t hearing anything, so after we hadn’t heard anything in 3 weeks, we put in a bid for the owners and crown loft. We backed down the bid on the GS to the lowest (by then it was 1/2 what we originally bid). Four days later, they accepted our crown loft and declined the owners. My husband was very happy because he wanted the loft. So, I’d bid on what you want the most at a slightly higher bid than any of the other categories .

colesc15 Posted February 9 #6716 Share Posted February 9 I was set with my bids until I saw the stupid 50% off thing. I want to lower my bids but will that reduce my chance of getting something in a few weeks? I assume they do they 50% off to get more bids.

joetop2467 Posted February 9 #6717 Share Posted February 9 We reduced ours for the February 19 Symphony of the Seas cruise and just got confirmation of our bid acceptance from inside to Ocean View Balcony for $120 each. We originally had bid minimum of $150 each but lowered it when we could. So good luck. Minimum worked for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the same cruise and also got an accepted bid today from inside to Ocean View Balcony. Our bid was also the minimum. It’s a great time to cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Cruiser Posted February 9 #6719 Share Posted February 9 I'm sure its somewhere in this thread but 269 pages..... If the Royal Up is successful and we originally booked before September 30 will we still get the double points from the offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
