jbrinkm Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 I'm not sure how payment works as we travel next to our teens and can never bid. BUT, my parents are cruising with us in March, they booked much later than us, it is a spring break trip (aka expensive), plus they are retired and on a fixed budget, so they booked a GTY ocean view (it was the same price as GTY inside) and got one on the third floor. I'd love to be able to put bids in for them to upgrade to some sort of balcony on the RU site with us paying. We are handling everything else for them other than their cruise fare and flights, so I have their accounts linked to mine and I have their reservation number. Do you put in a new credit card when you do a bid? When (if) I get my invitation to bid, can I just go in, put in their info, put in my credit card, and place bids for them?

TessFromFlorida Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 You can enter a new credit card when bidding. jbrinkm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...you enter can a new card number for RU, so go for it. That'd be a great surprise! jbrinkm, Neesa and asquared17 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I bought them Internet, a Soda package (all they wanted as far as beverages), the escape room with us, excursions and a boarding day lunch at Jamie's so far. They have not cruised since the 80s when the company my dad worked for used to take the employees on trips, so everything (including the MDR) will be new and exciting for them. We honestly love our MDR experience when we cruise. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea but we have had great experiences with our servers and find the food to be just fine. asquared17, Neesa and foxrunner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 We are of one mind @jbrinkm. I like a bit of specialty dining, but I enjoy traditional MDR dining and the entire experience of it. I'm really easy to feed so I have no issues with the food. jbrinkm and Neesa 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesa Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 @Xaa "easy to feed" you cracked me up! Thank you, I needed that this afternoon. asquared17 and Xaa 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted November 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Welp, looks like it is a moot point. Prices dropped for my cruise (BF sale?) and I was just able to upgrade them from ocean view GTY to ocean balcony GTY for $60.00. Probably would have had to pay more even with RUB.
