BrewerJoe Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I read somewhere that the minimum bid for RoyalUp can fluctuate leading up to departure. Has anyone experienced this? Do you get a new RoyalUp email when this happens, or do you just need to keep checking in on it to see what the current minimum is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTripp Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hi BrewerJoe, I am hoping someone with more insight chimes in. It’s our first cruise in 4 days on HOTS. In about March, i bid on a RoyalUp for one of my two rooms& have not heard or seen any indication of acceptance or denial. I was getting antsy so I put in an addition room bid( there were several choice rooms to bid on) today to try. I did not notice a fluctuation on the choices.

My 3 emails have all been the same amount...I will go try online and see! Mine has stayed the same for my June 15 majesty cruise and with all the cancellations I'm betting it's available. I would expect it to have gone down. Oh well... But 800 total just is too high to jump. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 I've seen minimum bid change. I've seen it where I bid the minimum then when I looked at it later the minimum bid had increased. I canceled my bid and checked again and the minimum bid had instantly gone back down. Apparently the minimum bid is based on thresholds and my bid was causing a threshold to be crossed triggering a higher minimum bid which meant my minimum bid was meaningless if anyone else placed any sort of bid at the now higher minimum level.

This was for a majesty cruise, so it could've been due to cancellations due to no cuba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarney Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm on Majesty's July 17 5 day sailing. They want a $700/pp minimum bid for an upgrade from a Oceanview GTY to a Jr. Suite - that's now 2x more than what the cruise cost after the Cuba cancellation refund. $1K for Grand Suite, and $1,700 for Owners.
