PhantomWolf Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Since I'm on a cruising kick and Royal is still doing their discounted sailings for a "second" cruiser (solo guy here), I went ahead and booked a trip for 2020. I didn't like my original placement in the single guest cabin so I called in and got it switched. Don't mind paying a little extra for the new stateroom. However I went from being by the auditorium to being right next to stairs and the elevators. I was at work when I called in and had to get off the phone quick, so I wasn't able to check where my new placement was going to be. Would it be out of line for me to call in again and request a different placement? Or should I leave it alone since I'm only going to be there to grab some sleep and shower/change? Just unsure of how bad the noise really is. Mid September sailing, so the majority of the kids should be in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arebee Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 In a word, no... All you can do is ask and all they can say is no. But they usually try to accommodate when possible and since your cruise is for 2020 I think you stand a good chance of getting something different.

twangster Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Change cabins as much as you want. Sometimes I change (with in the same category) then a week later another cabin becomes available and i change again. It's your money, as long as it's within the specific category type you can as often as you like. Moving from a 2V to a 3V may result in difference in price but staying within a 2V category should be no extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I have also changed cabins (within the same category) before a sailing. It has never been an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomWolf Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I've made plenty of decisions like that; "the worst they can say is no right". Was just feeling a little self conscious last night, kinda hate being a bother when it is from something I should have thought ahead about. Thanks everyone!

PhantomWolf Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Good to go! Glad I was able to take the time on this call, was almost underneath one of the bars.

It has never been an issue. The key words are "within the same category". Never a problem with that, provided there is availability. Just keep in mind that there are various sub categories of rooms. So it's not to say if you are in a balcony you can move to any other balcony. It has to be a room with the same category ID as yours.

I was able to switch rooms without a problem since it is so far in advance. The room category was slightly different so I had to pay a minimal extra cost, which to be honest will probably be worth every penny and then some!

KLA Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 If it makes you feel better, I've actively sufficiently annoyed the crap out of a travel agent today with cabin changes with changing my mind several times in the span of a couple hours. Thankfully, she's been quite kind and patient with me. PhantomWolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
