Passenger Switch on board

[NaturalNine]

So scenario is:

Our (very mature) 14 year old and his 9 year old sister are in their own cabin on Symphony in a few weeks, when booking as nobody over 18 was in that cabin, we’ve done the usual scenario with my wife in one cabin and me in another, with one kid in each - plan was to then get an extra key made on board and my wife and I have our balcony cabin and the kids in their own interior a few doors down.

We have been lucky enough to be accepted for a CLS - but obviously now the suite benefits are on my room key as well as my sons, but my wife has missed out as she’s (on paper) in the kids room.

Will guest services be OK to switch passengers/cabins on their system once we board? Or otherwise, remove the perks from my sons and add them to my wife’s? 
 

im assuming that places like Coastal Kitchen & the Concierge Lounge will check that everybody is entitled to access and therefore she will need the right credentials?

I think this is a situation where you probably shouldn't have used Royal Up.  Royal does not care who sleeps where once you are on board.  (You could probably get away with everybody sleeping in the CLS if there is room while leaving the other cabin empty.)  But only the people officially sleeping in the CLS will have suite privileges.  Rearranging the passengers now would probably trigger a reprice of the cruise and defeat the point of Royal Up.  You MAY be able to get guest services to do something on board, but I would be prepared for the answer to be no.

Royal Caribbean is currently running a 'kids sail free' promotion, it might be worth at least checking the price to put everyone in the same suite if possible.

Thanks for the info 

the room was more important to us than the perks, so royal up definitely worthwhile and worked well 

i was hoping that since access to the perks is a one for one swap, and not costing RCL any money, that they’d be possibly OK with switching the credentials/access from my son to my wife even if just keeping them in the same room 

 

based on what I’ve read it seems the CL and CK staff seldom check everybody’s access anyway, as long as I have mine she should be able to walk in with me and the staff will just assume we are in the suite together

I hope you come back after your cruise and let us know how this worked out.  I was in this exact situation back in 2021, but the cruise was cancelled.  I for one, am interested on how it goes.

If all four of you plan on staying in the CL suite, please remember to make sure that you take care of gratuities for your cabin steward for four people not just the two that are registered in the cabin.
