Bazza Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hi all Have back 2 backs booked in January 2023 and 2024, both totalling 14 days (a 5+9 on Grandeur and a 7+7 on Oasis). Both would be staying in same cabins for duration so hopefully will have the easy off/on at Miami (the answer to my previous question!). Wondering if worth trying for Royal Ups on the back to backs (if it gets offered) as I am not sure want to move cabins on the changeover? I don't suppose the systems are smart enough to allow you to only bid Up if it is for both trips as in their eyes they are different bookings?? Anybody got experience in this? Got upgraded in one but not the other? Or is it clever enough to link them in some way so you are bidding for both? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSC Mike Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I'd wager there is zero chance the system has any mechanism in place with regards to a B2B and RoyalUps. FWIW, I have a B2B next month and we're already going to be switching cabins and don't really care so I have bids on both halves. It's only 7 nights total though. If staying in the same cabin is important to you I wouldn't bid. Just one man's opinion ofc. WAAAYTOOO, Bazza and Swar 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Me. Did back to back with RoyalUp bids on both. One time my first leg was approved and another time the second leg. Had to move between suites each time. Although the suite I moved to was larger and much less expensive going through the bidding process, for me I learned it’s really not worth the hassle of moving…even though the cabin attendants make it so easy.

Pattycruise Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 They are treated separately, otherwise you could bid high on one, low on the other and they’d lose $$.another factor is the availability of the exact same cabin for the 2 weeks. Even if you did a max bid for the same category for each sailing it doesn’t mean the exact cabin is available both weeks. Bazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swar Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 We had problems just staying in our same balcony without upgrading. We moved our stuff to the 2nd room, went off the ship to shop, and they had changed us back to our original room by the time we reboarded.

Done Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 We have a B2b in August in the same cabin for both. I deleted the Royal Up email as we do not want to move cabins between sailings. We have a Junior Suite and the last time I tried to price check ALL suites were sold out on both sailings. We are in the cancellation penalty phase so I don't think there will be many anyway.
