mringenoldus Posted January 11, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Would there be an advantage to moving my triple cabin from Cat I to Cat F1 on the 4 day Monarch trip? Does RCCL sometimes do bumps like this on their own prior to sailing? Should I just "wait and see"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssatterly Posted January 11, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I would do it....Nicer cabin and all. I just upgraded mine and payed $450fom 2 insides to 1 Jr Suite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted January 11, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Is there an actual change in the cabin or just the deck it's on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssatterly Posted January 11, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2005 In mine yes in yours I am not sure. But better location is always a great thing as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted January 11, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I envy your JS! I also have a quad on this ship and wish I could move my F2 into a JS but they are only offering it to triples. Has anyone gotten a pier upgrade on the Monarch? How early would I have to be there to see if any were available?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MszKitty Posted January 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Is there an actual change in the cabin or just the deck it's on?? tried posting this twice and it wouldn't work....hopefully 3rd times a charm! :-) The only difference between a cat I and cat F1 is the location on the ship. Catagory I is on deck 2 where there are cabins only, no public areas. Cat F1 is on decks 5, 6, & 7. On deck 5 there is the Casino, Schooner Bar, the Centrum, The Sound of Music Lounge, Ben & Jerry's and other miscellaneous shops. On deck 7 there is Bolero's and the upper level of the Sound of Music Lounge. However, the cat F1 cabins on deck 7 have the outside promenade area outside so people walking by can see into your cabin. (Which I booked my group in F1's on deck 7 and I didn't find out until AFTER it was too late to change the cabin assignments because the sailing we are on is sold out.) On deck 6 are cabins only. So...my opinion would be to save the $140 and spend it on other things and stay on deck 2 unless you want to be up higher up on the ship on the same level as some of the things I listed.

mringenoldus Posted January 11, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Wow - now that's what I call information! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single mom Posted January 11, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Cat I will be a port hole and Cat F1 will be a picture window. That is what I was told regarding the sovereign, and they are in the same family of ships. I took my son on the Sovereign last October and we were in an F2 4574 and it was a great cabin, and great location. I didn't even have to take the stairs to dinner, my dining room was on the same deck. ;) Either one I think you will like, check on the port hole or window.

That is what I was told regarding the sovereign, and they are in the same family of ships. That could be very possible. I know that cat H is a porthole, but didn't know about cat I. And cat G is an obstructed view. Just out of curiousity, let us know what you decide to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted January 12, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Since I'm footing the bill for all 7 of us - I think I'm going to save the $$. Even if it's a porthole - it's better than the inside cabin they started out in. I wonder if there will be any opportunity to upgrade at the pier? (Or even better get a free bump from the cruise line!) Do peir upgrades cost less than doing them prior to sailing?? I almost expect this cruise to go out full since it is Spring Break in Arizona. Besides - they're young, they can cope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
