SuzD123 Posted July 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I imagine there is a way to link reservations online, but I simply called RCCL and they took care of that for us. Edited July 28, 2015 by SuzD123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted July 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Easy to link on-line. You need to know reservation numbers. Log into 'My reservation' and select the reservation. In the 'Countdown to cruise' overview you do have 'Vacation Summary' with 'Cruise Planner' and 'Preferences & requests' Click on 'Modify' for 'Preferences & requests' and enter the reservation number in order to 'Link these reservation numbers with mine' But you can also call.

Clarea Posted July 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Having a senior moment have done it before but cannot remember how to do it need to link a reservation. If the reservations are held by different travel agents, then each travel agent will have to call Royal to request the linking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted July 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I imagine there is a way to link reservations online, but I simply called RCCL and they took care of that for us. I never noticed there was a way to do it online When we do it, both parties have to call in and request it. After both parties to, it starts showing up online.

sross6019 Posted July 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2015 "If the reservations are held by different travel agents, then each travel agent will have to call Royal to request the linking." This is true. you have to have permission from each person to link and the different travel agents must call RCCL to have them linked. This is what C&A told me. I mentioned if was funny that they link complete strangers at dinner but can't link friends and family. The C&A agent agreed but stated that there had been problems in the past so this is the new rule. We were going to surprise some family at dinner the first night but had to make other planes to surprise them (they do not know we are going to be on board).

cb at sea Posted July 28, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just have everyone's booking number in hand, and call RCI or your TA...very easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TnTWalter Posted August 30, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I made 2 reservations [family of 5; 2 rooms] and they are not linked. Under preference and request I cannot see any place to modify. I would like to change to mytime dining and link the reservations. I suppose I have to call. Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Calling would probably be the easiest. If you have cruised with Royal before, call the Crown & Anchor number: 800-526-9723.

chicy724 Posted September 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Our friends booked by calling RCCL. We booked online. We have a heck of a time linking them because of that. We have had them link them about 3 times now and they still don't show as linked online. I don't have the option to modify or link anything via the suggestions above.

So-o-o-o many things to learn with a new line and something other than DW and I in a single cabin. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaGoeke Posted September 27, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I know I've linked reservations before but I couldn't even find a "modify" button. I did see this in red letters at the top so I guess I need to call. Please note: Cruise or Cruisetour reservations with Onboard Credit(s) can only be modified by calling 866-562-7625. You can, however, complete your Online Check-in and make reservations using our Cruise Planner.I guess I figured since I made these online at the same time that they would automatically be linked.

RCCL does not allow you to link reservations online anymore. Each cabin has to call and give their permission to have somebody else link the reservation for example my brother calls and says yes I give permission to have my table linked with my brother. And then I call give them my reservation number and my brother's reservation number and they will look it up to see if he gave permission and then they will link the two reservations.

Desert Cruizers Posted September 27, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Bob that is most likely why I wasn't able to Link our friends Reservation to our MTD, or they are under a group booking because it couldn't find their Reservation # Danny I didn't know that, ourselves and our friends both have our TA's would our TA be able to call in & link. it might be easier just to go to the dining room and say we wish to have friends join us at 6 PM.

Gay I don't believe you can link a group booking with a non-group booking. Best to just email rcldining@rccl.com about 3 weeks before the cruise and request the same table that way.

Desert Cruizers Posted September 27, 2015 #21 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Bob our friends are not sure they are part of a group booking, I only suggested the possibility when I couldn't like our reservations and got the answer, couldn't find their reservation. We both are using a different TA & have MTD. We are in the 3 week window right now, Cruise is October 19th. I will try and email, but would need both Booking #'s, so will need to ask our friends again for theirs. Thank you. We had planned on going to dining the day of boarding and let them know we wished to be at the same table since I already reserved for 6 PM.

We just recently, like two weeks ago, linked online our two reservation along with another couple reservation for a total of three. All had the same dining and were booked directly with RCI. All that is needed is the confirmation numbers of the three reservation. ;) Edited September 27, 2015 by robtulipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gay I have two reservations through my TA with the same situation. My niece was put in a group booking but I wasn't. My TA called Royal to link the two reservations. The RC agent said we couldn't link. (Hey, it's Sunday) I logged in to my niece's res and was able to add the 3 cruisers in my cabin to her 6PM MTD reservation for the first day of our cruise. I had previously tried to add them to mine, but that didn't work. Looks like I will have to do that for each day separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! We have to verify that again I guess. We kept having them change that, too. But it keeps changing back it seems. Frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
