Royal Up - Not able to bid on rooms that show available

[MoMan12]

Booked for a CB category (connecting balcony) on Anthem on January 20th and I am able to bid on certain rooms (Large Balcony, Junior Suites, Grand Suites) but through mock bookings I see there are Owners Suites, Sky Lofts, and Grand Lofts still available but not available to bid on. 

Do you need to have already booked a JS or higher in order to bid on these higher categories? Or are they just not available to bid across the board?

Normally you can only bid on categories that are 3-4 higher than the one you originally booked so your CB room wouldn't allow you to bid on those higher suites.

You can bid on any of the categories above what you have booked and are shown. The rooms available for Royalup are decided by Royal and I have yet to figure out how they decide what is open and not.

I have one friend in a interior on Freedom and I am in a JS.  She does not have access to the higher levels I do.

Hi,

I went to check royal up for my upcoming cruise, I have two rooms. My parents room I was able to place a bid on, but when I put my room info in it said I have to be within 30 days of my cruise. Any thoughts as to why I could bid on my parents and not my own room?  Both are balcony suits, departing early Sept.

Thanks!

Sometimes you have to try it twice in a row if you get those types of messages. Makes no sense, but that’s how it is.
