Royal up emailed me

[JAMESCC]

Royal Up emailed me yesterday about our upcoming Adventure OTS cruise next week. It said 

 

We have reviewed the RoyalUp bids for your upcoming sailing onboard Adventure of the Seas^®, and while we have not selected your offer yet, the team onboard the ship may choose it for upgrade based on availability at departure time

 

Anyone get this before? Does this kinda mean we are gonna win this bid? Good news? 

Thanks for any help.

Sounds to me like what they are saying is while you didn't win you're Royal Up bid.....there still may be a last minute chance for your upgrade if some cabins open up on boarding day from no shows.

We are currently on Mariner, and people received RoyalUP wins after they had boarded and their luggage was delivered to their original stateroom. They had to re pack so the stewards could move them to their new cabins.

Thanks, really hoping we get this. Its for the 2 bedroom Grand Suite and it was for just slightly over minimum bid. That would be weird to be on the way to the cruise terminal and our cabin category was changed, kinda cool actually. At that point our luggage tags would be for the wrong room. This would be some surprise. Thanks again.

Wow! That's crazy and kinda cool. I like the big surprise. Thanks for the info.

That sounds new and may go with the recent change with bid status (submitted instead of pending).

That's the first I have heard of this.  May want to delay unpacking if this starts to happen

Hello,

 

I said back in June that when I enquired on board Anthem,  Guest Relations said  you could not know for sure whether you had been upgraded (or not) until 2 hours after departure. It sounds as if that was not a 'one-off'.

 

Regards,

This must be something new. My guess would be that you’re next in line in the event the 2br GS cancels last minute or is a no show.

Yeah, it says that in the Royal UP email that I submitted in late April.

 

You will be notified on the final status of your upgrade up to day of your sailing, so please check your email up until the time of departure that day. If you do not receive any communication by 2 hours after sailing, your cabin has not been upgraded.

I don’t know enough about RoyalUp but I’m curious if RCL marketing is sending these emails to try to get people to pump up the bids between now and sail date, assuming you are still allowed to increase the bids.

I watched a Vlog from a reviewer on Oasis two months ago that received a call to his Jr Suite at 7:45pm on the first night that they won their Royal Up to a CLS. He said they picked up the message around 8:45pm and made the move then.

Our third leg of a B3B on Mariner starts tomorrow, and we just received a RoyalUP email invitation to bid on upgrades. This should be interesting tomorrow on turnaround day.😃

Maybe not, but so rare that compared to the hundreds or maybe thousands of denials, it's close to one-off. If it was happening with any kind of regularity, folks would have reported it here more. We still don't have a direct report of one.

Listen to the end of the review and he describes how he learned of his Royal Up on board.

Again, a direct report of a CC poster that can be trusted and has all of the details of what happened.

I posted the wrong video above. This is the one he talks about the Royal Up.

Not saying he's lying, but would be nice to have a CC poster provide all of the details. Also, it could be that this is the start of a new trend or changes of how they are handled. We already have a noticeable change recently with the status of the bids. Maybe now we will get more reports of this happening.

I would like to know if bids can be modified or canceled at embarkation time.  I do not want to get unpacked and settled in and then have to move during dinner or the evening.  It doesn’t seem fair to be unable to cancel your bid but still not know if you are going to be a last-minute upgrade.

It says you can cancel your bid at anytime if you don't want to be moved on Embarkation day. That was interesting.

We got that e act same email for our Navigator sailing last week and no upgrade. Intetestingly, while in line in a shop the lady in front of me said she was buying things since she did not get  her 2 bedroom upgrade. My email was also for the 2 bedroom g.s.

We've decided to cancel our Royal Up bid sometime during the week before we cruise as we would rather know when we board which cabin we will be in. We have 19 days to go......

Have to agree with you....dont like the idea that you may not be notified till the evening of embarkation...I wouldn't want to have to repack and move once settled in.

I just received the same email. It says that bids can be modified or canceled up to 2 hours before departure.
