My wonderful travel agent worked with someone in the Miami office and was able to pull this off for me. My name is currently listed on both the suite and the inside cabin across the hall. I have retained all the Retreat benefits. The ship has been "looped in" on this so they are aware that this is not a duplicate booking. I don't know the "ins and outs" of how this was accomplished and I don't really care. I'm so happy that I work with an excellent travel agent who is worth her weight in gold.

I have a good travel agent and I will call her tomorrow with this inquiry. I was just wondering if anyone here had done this in the past. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions.

Thanks. If only I had thought of this when we made our initial booking. As I explained to Jim at this point in time suite availability is extremely limited and there are no options available for connecting.

Hi emmas gran I'm certainly not expecting to get a complimentary cabin. I realize that when we got the additional cabin it was a "one-off" and we were extremely lucky. I'm more than willing to pay for an additional cabin. I'm just inquiring as to whether a person can book and pay for 2 cabins simultaneously.

Thanks, Jim. The problem is that at this point in time Suite availability is extremely limited. We booked this when the Beyond bookings first opened up and have a triple price for a S1 of $10K. To book another sky suite right now the price would be $9K for single. However, there are tons of inside cabins available and some are a few doors down from our current SS. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of this when we first booked because at that time I'm sure there were connecting sky suites available.

Has anyone had any success in booking and paying for an "extra" cabin? Here's the situation: three women are booked in a Sky Suite on Beyond. From previous Edge cruises we know that the Sky Suite is not really suitable for 3 adults to share (the couch is not really a very comfortable bed, sharing the bathroom is problematic, closet/drawer space would be tight, etc.). In a past E-Class sailing, once onboard the Retreat Manager offered us an Infinite Verandah cabin to be used in conjunction with our sky suite and none of us lost Retreat privileges. We've noticed that there are quite a few available inside cabins just steps away from our Sky Suite. We would ideally like to book and pay for one of these inside cabins to be used for: a person to sleep in there at night, an extra shower, additional storage space. BUT we don't want to lose Retreat access (i.e., Luminae and Retreat Lounge) for any one of us. So ideally we want the three of us still booked into the Sky Suite and then have the additional cabin a "second" cabin for one of us (similar to the concept of one person booking 2 seats on an airplane for additional room). Before I even approach our travel agent with this idea, I'm just wondering if anyone was successful in booking an additional cabin to be used as an "extra"? The option to book a bigger suite is not available to us as the only suites that are available in inventory are sky suites. Thanks so much for any input.

Thanks for posting. I am sailing in September on in Aqua Class on Deck 9 so I am glad to hear that you feel the ship is in pretty good shape. One question: are you able to order off the main dining room menu if you are dining in Blu? Thanks again for providing any information you can.

My meal did not sync with the animation......but I still enjoyed the animation very much....and the food was excellent.

Thank you so much for posting these. "Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end." But they certainly did end!

I was told once by a cabin steward that they (or a supervisor or a butler) must enter the cabin once a day just for "safety and security" reasons (i.e., to check for illegal drug usage/abuse, "proof of life" for all occupants, etc.). So I don't think you can get away with never having someone enter your cabin on a once-daily basis (so, while they're there......why not drop off and pick up towels???)

Jim, The Retreat Manager is Dragos.

Jeanne and family, I am so sorry for your loss. While I never met your husband, I did enjoy his posts on Cruise Critic. May he rest in peace.

I was on the repo and totally agree with you regarding Inna and Herma. Also Lobo and the entire Luminae team was great. Re Uptown Boys…while I enjoyed their show their behavior onboard left a lot to be desired. They were in Rendezvous one night standing near the bar listening to the band and every other word out of their mouths was the “F” word. I know they are young but there’s a time and a place for that type of language. The Rendezvous had “middle-aged to elderly” folks in there. The Uptown Boys need to acquire some class and know what is inappropriate behavior while out in public. I’m certainly no prude but I was shocked at their “quite loud” language.
