Bently57 Posted September 9, 2013 #26 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I hope this is not all that common an occurrence. We booked an aft corner sky suite to celebrate our anniversary. We have never cruised in a suite of any kind before, so this is a splurge for us. To be moved to a non-corner suite would be very aggravating to say the least. I am fairly sure that on Princess, once you book a specific cabin it is yours with no changes allowed. So this news is a bit shocking and causing me a bit of a worry. I guess I will contact my travel agent and ask him to be notified if we get moved. I would want some kind of compensation if that happened.

If you booked an SS1, and were changed I don't think you could be downgraded to an SS2, which aren't corner sky suites. But you might be upgraded to a higher level suite, none of which are on aft corners; if that happened to us, I'd not complain at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HudandPug Posted September 9, 2013 #29 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I don't mind as long as its an upgrade from balcony to suite :D Seriously, we have booked one with the overhang because cruising from Uk second half of October, we are expecting some windy, wet conditions. The overhang protects from the elements and let's us use our balcony more, lovely:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary El Posted September 9, 2013 #30 Share Posted September 9, 2013 How do you check to see if your cabin has changed? The only way I know is when completing Xpress Pass or when you order your luggage tags. I've checked my account but don't see anywhere there that shows the cabin #. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to stay in the specific corner suite we booked (rather than a different corner suite on another deck) but I am happy to know we will not be downgraded if what you say is true. Of course if we get moved to a higher level suite that would be fine.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Go to "My Celebrity" on the Celebrity site and click on "Reservations". You should see all your reservation details including cabin number. If you don't see your reservation you may need to enter it. You'll need your reservation number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've been lucky as I've never had my cabin changed. Wouldn't mind though if the upgrade fairy zapped us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universe93B Posted September 9, 2013 Author #35 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi guys, I called this morning, and they changed me back to my cabin since it was open. It took a while from work and now I'm behind in all my work for the day! They said "You changed the cabin last night at 8.58PM" I said I didn't do that, I wasn't even home. They said I changed the cabin online and it's my fault. But even if I changed it myself, can I do that? When I logged in last night, I was trying to change my cabin back to the previous one and couldn't do it. I could pick a cabin another category but couldn't choose another cabin in the same category. Can anyone help me see if I was even able to do that? Basically, the cabin was changed back, but they said I changed it by myself which I know for sure no one did. They are blaming me for some weird, ghost cabin change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can usually change to another cabin in the same category and I don't know why that would have been a problem if another cabin was available. I've made that type of change several times always through my TA and never online.Really doesn't matter what happened since your original reservation has been restored. Have a great cruise.

UniPac Posted September 9, 2013 #39 Share Posted September 9, 2013 :eek: I wonder if I am the only one who went to check my Celebrity account to make sure my cabin had not been changed upon seeing this thread, or if there were others who did that also. :D I just wanted to check and guess what? Both of my bookings have disappeared??? Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted September 9, 2013 #42 Share Posted September 9, 2013 there was another thread a while ago, but not longer than a year ago, where someone's booking was altered, it might have been an unwanted stateroom change like this case, and they were also told that they must have changed it themselves.

Sheal Posted September 9, 2013 #44 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Another newbie here trying to check the cabin number. When I go into "My Celebrity" I see two reservations, one that I cancelled and my actual cruise with the reservation number and departure date. What I don't see is the cabin number. Do I have to go into "Manage Reservations"? Could someone point me in the right direction? Sheal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will keep the cancelled reservation on until that cruise is over. They have a tab to make it easy for you to rebook it. I have one that's been there for almost a year. ignore it,it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted September 9, 2013 #46 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Found it -- post by CarolynP in this thread, see post 28, from July 2013. [url]http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1877300&page=2[/url] It's in a thread by Host Joe where he reported that what happened to him Celebrity changed stateroom without his knowledge. They did not accuse him of making the change, in his case. There have actually been several threads reporting these unexpected changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 10, 2013 #49 Share Posted September 10, 2013 [quote name='billie5']Absolutely not true -- the comment about Princess.[/quote] Agreed, the cruise contracts are very similar in regards to the passenger signing away all rights to anything and the cruise line being able to do just about anything and not be liable. The alternative is to not cruise.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
