100viper Posted June 9, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Sweet! Can’t wait to get my Royal Up email around the end of the year. How much do you plan on betting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't necessarily have to get the email offer...You can keep checking yourself. Normally it says approx 30 days out you can bid to Royal Up...however the last time we did it was much further out than that...so it seems like it might just vary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Viewer Posted June 9, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I wish I had got my updated Freedom cruise, I'm still showing Navigator!! And i got an email confirmation for navigator yesterday. It's frustrating talking to anyone at Royal as I keep being given differing dates for the transfer. Hope I get to go on Freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Freedom was changed by RCI to Explorer last Oct 2021 for my March 2022 cruise. Same itinerary and cabin category and similar location for my OS. My cruise ended up a bit cheaper with the change of ships...all's good for us. Edited June 9, 2021 by Ashland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wreckem2013 Posted June 9, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I’m hoping since the cruise is closed to bookings now that I hear on my bid to upgrade to a grand suite for the July 3rd Adventure sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great when you hear back quickly but at times you may not find out until you get to the terminal. A nice surprise !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baowen Posted June 10, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2021 My Ovation cruise is 65 days out and I checked yesterday. Royal up is available. So if the ships are sailing at reduced capacity do you think that more bids might be accepted ( more room available) I see that all inside and ocean view room for the Ovation August 13 2021 Alaska are sold out.

3kidsncats Posted June 10, 2021 #11 Share Posted June 10, 2021 73 days out on AOS and still no go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slease Posted June 10, 2021 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2021 No email but I was able to do Royal Up for my 7/17 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingHogFan Posted June 10, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If you do Royalup and don’t like the location can you still move to other cabins if available in the same category? I ask because adventure has a lot of Jr suites left for our cruise but half are aft which I wouldn’t want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the same sailing. It’s now showing as sold out. I looked yesterday and there were balconies and suites available. They must have hit their reduced occupancy %.

honeymooner16 Posted June 10, 2021 #16 Share Posted June 10, 2021 How can you tell what rooms are still available if the sailing isn't showing any more? I'm assuming they've hit their reduced capacity limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many of them are in the las few days before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on cabin availability, so yes, with a late upgrade the likelihood of something being available in the same category is low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that makes sense. In our current case (July 2 on Freedom), it is even more challenging because the cruise is not showing as available on Royal's website, and I can't see what cabins are available. I assume they have reached whatever capacity limit they set for this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without inside RCI access, it will be very difficult to know capacities and cabin inventory for some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sford75 Posted June 17, 2021 #23 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Are there any reports of Royal Ups being accepted yet? I know some from the Adventure of the Seas got the offers. But I haven't seen any reports of offers being accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted June 22, 2021 #24 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Got mine for Serenade in August. We're in a Panoramic Oceanview Suite. None of these offers, even at the entry level offer, remotely interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
