SpeedNoodles Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 We had friends who booked the same cruise for Alaska that we did so we an all hang out for a fabulous week. They booked through Royal - so I called my TA and asked her to link our reservations with theirs (they had called Royal and had their reservation flagged that this was ok with them). She emailed me back and said she took care of it. Is there somewhere that I can check the validity of this? I don't trust her at all, so I want to double check that it was actually done the way we wanted. (fyi this person is NOT my wonderful MEI agent ... I'm just suffering through this one for this cruise until I have moved on to my more recently-booked cruises). ++++++++++++++++++++++++ I believe I have figured all of this out - thanks to everyone who responded!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 @SpeedNoodles, you can call Royal yourself and ask them to check if the reservations are linked. They just cannot discuss specific numbers with you. Anything else, they can still tell you. I call Royal all the time even though I am with an agent. Yes, I am one of those people lol. Type A to the max. SpeedNoodles and The Cruise Junkie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra614 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Our upcoming cruise was booked by a family member that also booked 2 other rooms plus ours. She said if we did it that way we would be seated together during dinner times. Does that mean we are "linked" together also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then I would assume yes. I'm dealing with 2 separate reservations numbers, trying to book things together and not really having much luck.

ericgoodwin Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 There was an option to Add cruisss on the 1st page when you log into the site. You enter the booking number of the reservation you want to be linked to along with the name and birthdate of the primary passenger on that booking. After that you’ll see their info right under yours. You our can also send a direct message on Twitter to Royal Caribbean and they take care of it SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out how to add them to dining/excursion/activities anyway, so I guess that's the primary goal I had anyway. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericgoodwin Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 No. The booking number are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we travel with our full family in a 2 BR suite, there are two separate reservation numbers FOR THE SAME stateroom. One lists the first four guests, the second lists the others and has a different reservation number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue why that is. We have the same on our villa booking for 14. 3 reservations at 4 people each, and one with 2. 4 different reservation numbers. Each reservation shows which other ones it is linked to. I think OP is asking about linking after the fact though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we booked a year ago, they booked a few months ago. I'd just like the ability to go onto the cruise planner and make dinner or other types of reservations together for the 4 of us. The TA said she had them linked. I don't see them listed anywhere, but I am able to add them to dinner reservations so either she did it right, or we're just closer to the sailing date that it's working. As long as I can do it, I really don't care why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to have the reservation number and some basic info about the primary passenger on the reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so, too, but it wasn't allowing us to do that a couple of weeks ago when I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
