bossdog421 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 58 days to go on my 7 day Harmony cruise, getting super excited. I just got the royal up email. I am currently booked in Crown Loft Suite (Sky Class). I am near the top end of my budget when adding in the drink package and the overwater cabana. Most of the room upgrades are well beyond what i am willing to spend except the 2 bedroom Aqua Theater. The minimum bid is 500pp. I realize that the minimum bid is unlikely to win but it may be worth a shot. My question is: Do you get all of the perks of star class if you win a royal up bid? If i get unlimited drinks I could cancel my drink package and end up barely paying more than i am now. Unlimited specialty dinning isn't something we were looking at but that would be a huge plus, same with getting a genie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yes. If you are upgraded to a Star Class suite, you get all the SC amenities including the Genie bossdog421 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do they typically let you know if the bid is accepted? At least a couple days prior i'd hope. Now i'm dreaming of genies for my 10th Anniversary suite party . Going to do it either way but it would be so much better with a little magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdog421 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 This also wont interfere with any on board credits I already got as part of my initial promo either right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the booking promotions from your original booking (AoNC etc) will move over with your upgrade. What would NOT move with you are cabin-type promotions such as those that go along with Central Park and Boardwalk rooms. bossdog421 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdog421 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Seemed logical but you never know so i figured it was worth asking. Bid entered AshleyDillo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 For $500/person bid I would jump on that if you're thinking about doing the drink package anyways. But I also wouldn't have booked into a Sky class to begin with unless it had been a heck of a bargain..so that extra $1000 won't break the bank at that point MamaShark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to splurge since the beginning. I usually get 1 good trip in a year and this one is the 10th anniversary. So YOLO! I bid a bit more than the minimum but still only slightly above budget neutral SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope some folks are bidding high on your CLS hoping for a miracle so that Royal has more incentive to bump you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgestang Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 If you win....you also get to cancel your drink package and any dinning package you may have bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
