WanderPam Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 We booked an interior promenade view room for a cruise in mid February so we are a couple of weeks after final payment date. We've been considering upgrading an interior central park view and today that room is $700 cheaper online than what we paid. When we called to ask about upgrading they said we would have to pay $250 more than what we've already paid! Just wondering if that is a standard policy after final payment as we have been able to do it (and get some OBC) on other lines. First post and only second royal caribbean cruise so sorry if this is obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Royal Caribbean will not refund any money to you after final payment date but it is sometimes possible to upgrade to a higher category room. Since doing this is essentially a cancellation and rebooking, sometimes you will have to pay a $$ difference. That may be what is happening in your case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderPam Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Thanks for the info! We are happy with our room and price and excited for our cruise either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Perhaps cause its an inside room and you have an inside room that its an issue.(even though a different category) If those prices have dropped that much, perhaps look at an ocean view or balcony. You maybe able to upgrade for very little if the interior rooms cost has gone done $700 since you booked...ouch! I wouldn't pay $700 for an inside to start with..never mind now its $700 cheaper than what you paid.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 After final payment, the only option you really have is if a room higher than yours is now less than what you paid, you could upgrade to that with no cost. But as @monctonguy said, I'm not certain that is considered an upgrade since the room you are in now and the new room are both different non-balcony window rooms.

WanderPam Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Appreciate appreciate feedback! I never thought of it that way, but it makes sense that it's not really an upgrade since they are both interiors. We actually prefer the "interior view" rooms to a balcony Already looking at our next cruise and will go with a central park view then !
