CruisingSteve Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 This is my first time using RoyalUp. About 2 weeks ago, I put a bid in for an upgraded cabin. Today I received my cruise documents today with my original cabin number that I picked. Does this mean I didn't get upgraded or is there still a chance I could get the upgraded cabin. I have no email saying I was declined for the bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Bids are usually good until 48hrs before sailing. If your bid is accepted…you will receive an email, your credit card will be automatically debited and your sailing documents (boarding pass and luggage tags) will be updated. You can also go to RoyalUp and check on the status of your bid. If it says pending…it’s still active. If your bid is not accepted, you may not receive an email. Good luck and enjoy your cruise!

steverk Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 My recent RoyalUp bid was accepted after my original documents were created. If that happens, be sure to verify that your seapass card and luggage tags have your new stateroom number on them.

You can modify your bid up until a certain date. It’s best to go to RoyalUp and see the current status rather than rely on the original email.

You need to click on that anyway. Mine showed modify/cancel but when I clicked some bids said expired (so loser) and one said pending. we found out on a Tuesday on one cabin and Wednesday on the other (just before a Saturday sailing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just got an email to RoyalUp for our 10-10 Allure cruise. We are currently in an Owner's Suite. I bid just a little over the minimum for a 2BR ATS (none are currently showing available). If we were to win the upgrade ($1110), we would actually come out ahead b/c I could cancel our drink package and dining package ($1184). I realize chances are very slim for this one. Even slimmer are our chances of actually going on this cruise since the vax protocols have been unfavorable for us BUT if they do adjust the protocols by Oct (doubtful) and we do win the upgrade (doubtful), woohoo !! We are also on the 10-3 Allure but that one is doomed b/c it is going to St. Thomas and they're not going to let us board at all (unless that also changes, which I don't expect).

It's for Odyssey sailing Sept 19. If you see the link that says "Don't miss out! Click here to see other upgrade options on your upcoming cruise and to make a bid." You can still click it to see all the bids and the status of each, it doesn't actually modify it unless you hit cancel or change the bid amount.

Kris816 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I sail on Saturday and just received an email that my bid was accepted (Thursday afternoon). However, when I log in, my luggage tags have not been updated to reflect the new cabin but my set sail pass has. This is my first time having a Royal Up accepted so I’m not familiar with the process. If the tags don’t update, should I use the ones for the original cabin? WAAAYTOOO and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have blank tags at the port too. I absolutely would NOT use the old ones. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stalked the deck our old cabin was on, and grabbed our luggage when it was put in the hallway. It felt like we were stealing luggage. bryresangel and Neesa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His final explanation was that they do not control the platform that generates luggage tags so there isn’t anything he can do. I’m just going to DIY them. I have the plastic covers so I’ll fold blank paper and use a Sharpie marker to put name and cabin number. HBCcruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes an extra minute but then everything works as it should onboard. DDaley, karmamule, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric813 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 I bid for an upgrade 1 month prior to sail. Ever since I bid, I cannot modify it at all, it just remains “pending”. I’ve emailed them with no response. Despite doing everything as instructed to cancel or modify, doesn’t work. No credit card charge or email saying I’ve won or lost. Only thing I can reason is it’s been accepted, but I just haven’t been notified, but seems strange that nothing has changed in the last 4 weeks.

TB2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 So…I checked on my set sail pass tonight and was pleasantly surprised to see our room was changed to a JR Suite for our Symphony departure on Saturday. I have not received an email yet stating my offer was accepted and our luggage tags still show the original room. Should I expect the luggage tags to be updated as well before we leave or should I call and have them confirm/update? fireclan, USCG Teacher, Baked Alaska and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that means they are already in the process of accepting/rejecting bids for your cruise so you can't change them anymore. That's only a good thing if your bid is actually accepted. So here's to hoping that's the case and they aren't allowed to tell you yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve read elsewhere that folks have received the coveted “pending” only to have it change to “unavailable” and all other bids go back to modify/cancel right before sailing.
