Cactus527 Posted January 30, 2024 Report Posted January 30, 2024 Check in opened on Friday (1/26) for my March sailing on Freedom. The same day, I got the email for Royal Up. Since I had reserved on a balcony guarantee, I decided what the heck, let's try for either Spacious Balcony or Junior Suite. I made my bid. RU emailed confirmation of my bids. On Saturday (1/27), I went back in and decided to change my bids. No problem, adjusted, and another RU email confirming the change of my bids. Tonight (Monday 1/29), I went in to see if the low figure for RU had adjusted at all (per @Lovetocruise2002's post about her RU for Icon). I can't access it, but here's what I see (specific details erased): I can't adjust my bids, and from my side, it appears you can no longer do RU for this sailing. Weird, but okay. What does it mean with the "Pending" and the "Expired?" I've never seen this with any of my other RUs before, but I also didn't get any of the previous ones. TIA!

I have seen exactly this scenario reported in the past by people who subsequently received confirmation that they had won the "pending" bid. However, it's never happened to me so I can't say with any certainty. Not that you can say anything with any certainty where RU is concerned, mind... Fingers crossed for you anyway.

Yep, no guarantees but it likely means you won the "pending" bid. RCIfan1912, Cactus527, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 2 others 5 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted January 30, 2024 Report Posted January 30, 2024 Concur with everyone above. Looks like your RU bid for the Spacious OVB has been accepted. I had the same message recently on a RU bid that I won for our 2-22-24 Radiance sailing. Cactus527, OCSC Mike, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 2 others 5 Quote

I can't access it, but here's what I see (specific details erased): I won a JS offer on Odyssey exactly seeing what you are seeing. The pending offer was the one. What do you mean by "see if the low figure for RU had adjusted"? RCIfan1912 1 Quote

What do you mean by "see if the low figure for RU had adjusted"? Her comment specifically was that she went back to see if the minimum bid per person had dropped for her sailing. That was what I was going back to look at, however it doesn't look like you can RU anymore for my sailing. Carlos A. and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote
Cactus527 Posted January 31, 2024 Author Report Posted January 31, 2024 Confirmation email came through this evening - I've been upgraded from a guarantee balcony to a spacious balcony! Very excited to win, and I love the location of this room too. It's a bit more forward than I might have chosen to be, but I will take it because it is quieter, near the stairs/elevator, and bigger!
