RoyalUp and Guarantee Cabins

I have a suite guarantee booked for a sailing about two months out -- at the time I booked that happened to be cheaper than the cheapest balcony cabin available (which I would have otherwise booked for this cruise) and I thought, why not, all the junior suites on this ship are in acceptable places to me, the worst thing I can get is fine.

I also RoyalUp bid on a few of the suite upgrade options.

Looking at the same sailing today it appears (?) that junior suites are now sold out for this sailing. Does this mean I'm basically guaranteed to get something higher than a junior already and should cancel my bid?

No. The fact that they are committed to putting you into one of those suites is already factored in. Said another way, your suite guarantee could be the last JS that fills it up, or they could be oversold already on JS's. Either way, Royal Up will cure the problem. Assuming they are oversold by only your unit (which is unlikely), here is how that would resolve -- they will take the highest bid from the JS's and move them up. If that is you, Great! If that is someone else, you would move into their room assignment.

I did the same thing. I booked a Suite GTY and put in a bid for a 1-Bed. Went back to search and no suites were available for booking. A few days later, I got an email saying my bid was cancelled. Then I got an email for our cabin assignment. Owner's Suite.

So, I wouldn't go off the search to determine what's available too you for assignment.

There are so many cancellations for various reasons, RoyalUp offers being accepted at different times and people who choose to just upgrade directly that you cannot rely 100% on what is still available online at any given time. If you are comfortable with your bid then I would keep it.

No. Highly likely you’ll get one of the suites with the lowest fare.

There’s almost a 100% chance someone with a Jr suites is using Royal up. They’ll take their money and give you that suite. They’re very good at maximizing their revenue.

And just because you can’t book a JR suite right now, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t one available. The system might have it reserved for the guarantees.
