Crabbycruiser Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 We have an aft corner JS booked on Enchantment for a 5 nighter out of Galveston for Sept. 11th. We now have an opportunity to bid on an upgrade. It looks like all the suites are booked for this cruise so I have a feeling my chances for actually getting an upgrade are slim, but realize if I do bid and get the upgrade I will be locked in. But we already have a pretty cool room with a unique balcony, do I really want to trade that in for a bigger room, bigger bathroom and suite perks? This is only our 2nd JS booked, have never stayed in a suite room and have never had an aft balcony room. I appreciate any thoughts and opinions....Thanks!

fonemanbob Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Keep what you have. The money saved can buy lots of other things. I.E.: specialty dinners, drinks, excursions, etc. RWDW1204 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VACruiser Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 As they say in Blackjack - I'll stick!!! If you like where you are, and the room is more than fine for your needs, than stay where you are and enjoy what you have. The Royal Up program always gets me thinking like you - should I bid...in reality I was fine when I selected my room in the first place so I should be happy now too. But, it always gets me to bid anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonemanbob Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 The fact that you are in a suite means you are getting double points already. I got a Royal Up offer 4 weeks ago for our Sept. Anthem cruise and never bothered. To go from a balcony to a suite and not get double points. Forget it. That`s a lot of extra money saved.

JLMoran Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I actually just got the Royal Up email. Surprised, honestly. But I'm in a balcony cabin, and as much as I'd love to be in a JS again (#teamCK!!) there's no way I'm bidding that $200/pp minimum when I won't get the double points.
