We have cruised many times on RCL and is our favorite. Just booked an 8 day on the Mariner OTS and trying a guaranteed room for the first time. Mostly because the cost to pick your room now is a several hundred dollar premium for the ability to choose your room. In the past it was no charge or a very modest up charge.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? We can’t justify paying such a premium to just pick the room. ( the one we looked at the up charge was 1/2 of what the per person price was).
Hoping that it works out well.
