I assume this is for families. Dh and I only need 1 cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted August 1, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The RCI marketeers are hard at work. Not sure this is a win for the cabin stewards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswallow Posted August 1, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2021 If RoyalUp requires you always pay double the bid as if it were for 2 people, even if in a Studio cabin or even if paying less than 200% single supplement, I really don't see what reasoning they'd have for not letting a solo cruiser get 2 cabins under this kind of 2-for-1 offer. It's all just about the money, anyway, right? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband is a terrible snorer and we sleep in separate bedrooms at home because of it (the alternative was to live apart but I thought that was a bit extreme 😂). I’ve often thought about booking a 2 bedroom suite when we cruise, just a pity they’re so expensive🤑 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, separate kitchens, separate bathrooms, living rooms etc. We would always be spending time together in either his section or mine but I could keep everything the way I like it in my own part of the home and no one would mess up my cabinets, closets, fridge....

I can't be the only one. I finally have an office/man cave now. Our house has two master suites, though the Princess Suite is nicer than mine. And the garage with my own fridge. All the rest is Laura's. Especially the kitchen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all just about the money, anyway, right? 🙂 I was wondering if prices would drop as I'm sure many are ca calling.. they came up with a way of not dropping prices and filling more cabins. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. It's a way of not giving you a lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldcity Posted August 1, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'd have to say if it's offered on my February cruise with a friend, we might take a look at it. We'd still be able to hang out together all day, but it would make things easier when we aren't quite on the same sleep schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a win because you take an empty room with no tips, and add a room with tips.....so of course it's a win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
