cooncat_mom Posted May 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I tried using the search feature but didn’t have any luck. I’m in a Central Park view room, but am thinking about moving to a Central Park or Boardwalk balcony. I’ve already purchased a South Beach Cabana though and I don’t want to lose that. Will I be able to keep the cabana and change cabins? I’ve learned that finding answers here before talking to the reps is a smart thing! Thank you 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awestover89 Posted May 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2019 You should not lose any cruise planner purchases since the reservation number won't change with a simple cabin change 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted May 23, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We’ve changed staterooms many times and never lost our cruise planner purchases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaflamingo Posted May 23, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2019 To be absolutely sure, make sure you change the cabin over the phone and emphasis to your agent that you want to be sure you don't lose your cabana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost feel this would be more prone to error having seen some fiascoes that arose on here after an agent has hit some errant button! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooncat_mom Posted May 23, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) That’s true! Should we decide to move from the Central Park View (no balcony) to Boardwalk, I’d request the new invoice be sent while I’m still on the phone with them. Our thinking is that CP looks lovely (have never sailed Oasis class), we like people watching and thought a lower Boardwalk balcony might have more to watch. 8321 and 8727 are both available...

That really wont do any good as your cabana purchase is not listed on your invoice. Like i've said we've changed cabins many, many times nd never an issue. The most recent was 1 moth ago.

True, I forgot that part, too bad it isn't set up like Southwest to change flights if desired. Then again I can only imagine the errors that would come from that!

Sometimes I think that Royal has removed functionality because they cannot trust their own website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think that Royal has removed functionality because they cannot trust their own website. Agreed on Southwest! Ironically though I actually just glitched their (Southwest) system recently. I was rebooking a flight for my father's funeral that got postponed when Houston had awful storms - the original fare was booked with a credit that expired before the new flight dates but total cost of new flight was lower by more than that credit. It all appeared to go through seamlessly, until I never saw an email confirmation of the change come through but was busy at work and not thinking too much of it. To Southwest's credit they called me before I knew it was an issue and an awesome agent rebooked my flights at the same cost and did it in such a way to preserve as much of the original fare/credit as she could! But that's also a testament to how even if their system fails they jump on it to correct it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooncat_mom Posted May 23, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Good point. It’s been a while since I’ve sailed Royal, and I haven’t been overly impressed with their site or Cruise Planner although I do like their ships! While I haven’t used Southwest’s site (I have a fondness for trains and cars 😉), I have used NCL’s and find it easier and more informative.

That has also been our experience with Southwest. Last month we had a flight delayed by several hours, and not only did they make sure we got on the next available flight, but they gave everyone a $200 voucher to use within a year.
