Griffey Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 We are planning a family cruise in November and will need 2 cabins for the 5 of us. My husband is Prime and we plan to use his free cruise cert on this cruise. We will need to pay for the other cabin. Can I book both cabins through Club Royale? If so, is there any advantage/disadvantage to doing it this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffey Posted April 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I guess I should have added...if there isn't an advantage to booking the paid room through Club Royale, I'll book through Costco for the Costo Cash Card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomSlayer Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 There is a discount for "Friends and Family" if you book through Club Royale. I did something similar and they received about a $200 discount each from their fare. The downside of booking through Club Royale though is that they usually require you to pay in full immediately, meaning you cannot pay over time. I am not sure how the casino prices compare to what you would get through Costco as I have never used Costco for travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Prime gives a 5% discount to the extra cabin, as long as you are sailing on the same sailing as you. Meaning you cannot get friends a 5% discount if they are sailing without you onboard. mid price out Costco snd then club Royale to see who has the better deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffey Posted April 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Thank you. Would there be any difference in the cancellation policy between the Club Royale booking vs a standard booking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No difference if you paid for a cabin. comp cruises I’m sure you know but share for others reading, refund port fees and taxes if you cancel. The upgrades-I believe fall into the Royal cancellation policy-I’m not 100% on that. Perhaps someone else can weigh in, or call Club Royale a few different times and hope you get consistent/correct answers Griffey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, I have never had to cancel a casino booking but if there has been an upgrade applied (100% of the time, for us), then it subject to the same cancellation penalties as any other cruise.

I’ve never had to cancel either, but I did ask the question to the casino rep in the call center and was told that any upgrades or bookings through them follow the standard cancellation policy.
