lbow1984 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 We have received 3 emails to royal up for our cruise that leaves the 21st of this month. Two of those emails came this month on the 10th and again yesterday. So far the prices are quite high compared to what I see others post. We are currently in a JS. The cheapest upgrade have is $655/person. We have 4 people (2 are children). I am wondering two things: Is it per person for all four of us, or just the first two? And is it odd the prices are still this high with less than a week to go? Will they just leave those rooms empty rather than take a smaller fee to upgrade? Thanks so much for reading! This is our first time cruising with Royal Caribbean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 You'd pay just for the first 2. And prices don't tend to change for a given cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoomSlayer Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Royal up is per person for the first two only -- all cabins are based on double occupancy for Royal Up. Prices will vary based on demand. I have low-balled offers from casino comp interiors and won, but many times the Royal Up upgrades are more expensive than simply paying for upgrading. But if I really want an upgrade with certainty, I will just upgrade the old-fashioned way and not use Royal Up. Also, those rooms will not be empty. People get in a bidding frenzy and will often over-pay in Royal Up. Human nature I guess. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San415 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Unless you looked at the booking online and saw that the cabins were available, getting a royal up offer doesn't mean there are empty cabins. Often the move up comes from a snowball effect. Maybe 1 suite empty and that gets picked up in a royal up bid, or someone cancels last minute, then there is the empty cabin. And then that cabin gets picked up etc. Even for a sold out cruise they still send royal up emails out. Neesa and Rackham 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
