Mim Lloyd Posted August 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Hi, we're on a B2B on Explorer next Sep/Oct 2023. We booked guarantee junior suites for both weeks and when I checked my cruise planner earlier it now shows suite numbers assigned for both cruises on deck 10, the second week's suite is about 8 doors away from the first week's. My question is, now that suite numbers have been assigned will they stay as those suites or could they change? It seems very early to already be assigned the rooms.

Norwich Cruiser Posted August 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2022 We’ve often booked guaranteed staterooms and been assigned early after they been assigned never been changed. I’d keep an eye on the staterooms to see if either opens up so you could perhaps then change staterooms to stay in the same one both weeks.

HicksRA Posted August 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I’d say that the possibly of your cabins to be changed are slim to none. As above, I’d check to see if you can move to the same cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rang my TA today to get them to ask RCI if it was possible to change one of the cabins so that we're in the same one for both weeks. RCI said we can't do that as we booked gty cabins only. I don't know whether this is because it's a UK booking, changes without penalty are difficult when you book in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Lloyd Posted August 2, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Could we ask at Guest Services when we first board if we can move cabins if the same number is available for both weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ask but odds are really, really low. Personally, I would not waste time or mental energy on the idea. Changing cabins is not difficult; the stewards do a lot of the work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted August 2, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Once they’re assigned, you can change to a different cabin in the exact same category in the U.S. Must be different in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d ask your travel agent to keep trying. We normally book direct with Royal and have been able to switch staterooms on b2b when they’ve been different as long as they were the same grade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. With RoyalUp, all of the JS and above usually get filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
