mirrorglow Posted July 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hey everyone! I'm sailing on Oasis in August and after doing the online check-in process, I saw that our boarding pass had a different stateroom than the one we ordered. For reference, we paid extra for two connecting rooms on floor 3 but the boarding pass has one room on floor 3 and one room on floor 8. We already tried calling RC Customer Service but they said they can't change the rooms due to the ship being overbooked and they won't refund us the extra money that we paid. Is there anything we can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Dazzles Posted July 24, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2022 We’re the reservations linked? You don’t pay extra for connecting cabins. You can try calling, but don’t know if it would be successful, especially if the reservations were not linked together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you pay more, sometimes you pay less, and sometimes you pay the same. (as non-connecting). P.S. Oasis has a CO category.

Is there anything we can do? Something similar happened to me and I saw at least one other occurrence posted here in the past month. RCCL doesn't care and my TA was useless. If you're lucky they might offer a refund through the executive office but you need to contact them directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted July 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2022 As someone who has checked-in passengers, I can say that we will have passengers ask why their room was changed. The true answer is that we really don't know, but whatever room you were moved to should be an 'upgrade'. If you had an Ocean View' room on deck 3, you now probably have a balcony stateroom on deck 8. FYI, the pier check-in staff can not change any room, only the ship can. You can ask at Guest Services once you are aboard. Sorry this happened to you, and while you may be disappointed by not being right next door to your traveling companions, you probably ended up with a nicer room.

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted July 24, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 24, 2022 If the room change was related to Covid protocols, then it wouldn't matter who booked the cruise (TA or the passenger themselves). Rooms are set aside for Covid positive passengers, and newly arrived crew that need to quarantine before starting their job assignments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true - but this happened to me and I was informed that there would be a change. I also cannot imagine moving ONE cabin of a connecting room for Covid, and not the other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
