We officially just got the upgrade and charged this morning! 🤘🤘🤘 We got upgraded to Star Class Grand Panoramic Suite, on Allure of the Seas. Just today we got contacted from the suite concierge to let us know our Genie would be reaching out shorty! So stoked as this is our 1st experience in Star Class, and will most likely create blog on here before we sail out, to follow our experience in Star Class (1st timers), and to show/tell about the covid lock down procedures have changed since our last cruise in Oct 2021.
Sharing our bidding on this was we where offered every room in Star Class room 2-bedroom Aqua Theater, to the Royal Star Loft suite(we where booked in Sky Class Loft Suite).
We bid the following per person;
Aqua Theater 2-bedroom max bid at $1,260 (min bid was around $360)
Star Loft Suite mid-range bid $1,555 (min bid $540)
*Grand Panoramic Suite just below mid range $2,200 (min bid $1,230)
Owners Panoramic Suite just below mid range $2225 (min bid $1,800)
Royal Star Loft Suite min bid $2,530(this one could go as high as around $5,500 max bid)
Surprised they took our "just below mid range bid' on the Grand Panoramic vs our "max bid amount" on the 2-bedroom(as both where available online), maybe it was the higher price point and they wanted to fill the Star Class Rooms...🤷♂️
Happy either way, if cruising on Allure this coming Sunday say hi! We are in room #1758! And I answer to Red(my hair color, and name of my business)
Yes you do, but you do not get double points if moving from a balcony to a full suite. If you have a Junior Suite you get double points already and would maintain those in Sky Class.
It does have to do with the bid amount, and as well where you are already currently booked at (room Rate). If you got a balcony and bid up to a suite, you have a better chance than if you have an interior trying to bid up to a suite. If someone has a higher bid than you and is in a higher category already it will go to the higher category with the higher or equal bid amount. It has nothing to do with on when the bid is placed...
Plus they fill the top rooms 1st, then work there way down to what is left, when upgrading and filling rooms.
Also if you have a bid pending and all others have expired, it is a good sign. But, it is still not guaranteed until they charge your card...
