MJDB Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 We booked a interior room but would like to upgrade to a ocean view, does anyone know how that works? Will I pay the difference or it charges for the ocean view and I get my money back for the interior we already paid for? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike n Ky Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 For us when we have upgraded a booking we have only paid the difference. If you use a travel agent they can do this for you and using one costs you nothing. FWIW, we always use our agent even when we do our own research. If you are willing to take the chance you can do the Royalup. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mturk Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 We recently came back from our Holy Land cruise and took advantage of a casino royale offer of an oceanview stateroom for a 3 night November sailing on Liberty. We contacted our travel agent and asked her to see about upgrading to a balcony room. We were charged a $185 upgrade fee but not sure if this because of a casino offer or if this would be the normal upgrade fee as our cruise receipt does show "Casino upgrade".

Ampurp85 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 You would pay the difference in room cost. There is very limited refund options......often the only way they refund you is if you had a refundable deposit and asked for refund before final payment. Example would be interior cost is $1400. Oceanview is $1760. You would owe the $360 or whatever the balance is if you haven't made final payment. @Mturk the $185 is the amount of the room you selected after the casino discount. It is not an actual fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mturk Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 That's not how it shows on my cruise receipt. It shows the cost of the room less "casino free" discount which brings the room cost to $0. Then it shows "casino upgrade" for $185 plus taxes, fees, and port expenses.

I understand that but it still is not a fee. A fee would be on top of the cost of whatever you upgraded for; it is just the wording they use since the cruise fare has been deeply reduced due to the promotion.
