The schedule is back to normal on mine today.

Thanks everyone, we will give the standby lines a shot. This is our first cruise with RC and I feel kind of dumb for not catching this before. 

I didn't realize that they were released before sailing. This is our first time and almost all of the shows we had been looking forward to are fully booked on all days. Do they ever open back up? 

I know we can wait and see if someone doesn't show and they end up releasing their seats, but I'm pretty disappointed.  I thought I read everything I needed to know.

Are The Key special reservations also already gone if it says fully booked or are those different?

Royal up is per person for the first two only -- all cabins are based on double occupancy for Royal Up.  Prices will vary based on demand.  I have low-balled offers from casino comp interiors and won, but many times the Royal Up upgrades are more expensive than simply paying for upgrading.  But if I really want an upgrade with certainty, I will just upgrade the old-fashioned way and not use Royal Up.

Also, those rooms will not be empty.  People get in a bidding frenzy and will often over-pay in Royal Up.  Human nature I guess.

Okay that is what I wondered. We sail this weekend so it deemed odd that there were so many still available.

You'd pay just for the first 2. And prices don't tend to change for a given cruise.

Okay thanks! Good thing we are happy where we are.

We have received 3 emails to royal up for our cruise that leaves the 21st of this month. Two of those emails came this month on the 10th and again yesterday. So far the prices are quite high compared to what I see others post. 

We are currently in a JS. The cheapest upgrade have is $655/person. We have 4 people (2 are children). I am wondering two things: Is it per person for all four of us, or just the first two? And is it odd the prices are still this high with less than a week to go? Will they just leave those rooms empty rather than take a smaller fee to upgrade?

Thanks so much for reading! This is our first time cruising with Royal Caribbean.

starting topic  An exciting cruise for all!

We have gotten 3 now, but the prices per person to upgrade are way too high to bother in my opinion. We just git another one on Saturday, but the prices haven't changed.
