LCinPDX Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hi there! I received a Royal Up email today for a cruise in July. We currently have 2 adjoining balcony staterooms booked. If I were to bid on a 2-bedroom suite instead, would I be able to have my children join us in that suite and just cancel their the other balcony room, or could it be combined by Royal (to keep the current excursions and packages valid)? I hope this makes sense! I looked around for the answer to this and only saw that for multiple people, only the 1st and 2nd have to pay the upgrade fee.

Kellyrich Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I thought Royal Up didn't start until 30 days prior to sailing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, but the cruise would be repriced at prevailing rates so any savings you would realize from the RU would be more than eliminated. You could have your children join you in the suite, unofficially, and just leave the balcony room empty, but those in the second balcony would not be eligible for suite amenities. If you win a RU bid I am pretty sure any Cruise Planner purchases you have made already will be refunded and would have to be repurchased at prevailing rates.
