LORRAINE45 Posted May 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi do RCI offer cabin up grades at port side for a fee? Similar to a seat upgrade on a flight. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted May 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I haven't done it personally, but we have friends who have inquired about it. The cruise they were going on had the option of buying an upgrade, but it was priced the same as booking the cabin, no discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted May 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2015 From what I have read it has been a number of years since this was common practice. Seems like Royal us now into calling people per cruise and trying to sell paid upgrades prior to the cruise. Bottom line is that if you really want an upgrade then you should do it before you arrive at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camlott Posted May 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2015 If they stick with Mr. Fain's word of no more discounting cabins close to sailing... I suspect that pier upgrade opportunities might become a possibility again. But I'm not holding my breath on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi do RCI offer cabin up grades at port side for a fee? Similar to a seat upgrade on a flight. Thank you I agree, it's very unlikely. However, the procedure used to be that you check in first, then ask for the Port Coordinator. If there are staterooms available, then it would be some fixed price to upgrade. I recall balcony to JS being $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Bob, except that it was the Pier coordinator;) However for a few years now the answer was always to check with guest Relations onboard and the Pier coordinator had no Upgrades. With all the inconsistency we know this answer was 100% consistent:rolleyes: Guest Relations usually have a sign up about the ship being fully booked and no Upgrades available. However if you ask they might put your Name on a list and call you later in case there´s something available. Most of the time nothing is available and if it was the cost was not a bargain at all. In Addition by that time - late evening or next day - I´m settled and unpacked and unwilling to move again anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted May 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 23, 2015 On our last two Allure sailings (2013 and 2014) we were upselled approximately 7-9 days before our cruise. We were initially booked in a GS, and upselled to a L2, and L1. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
