WeCruise5 Posted August 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I’m currently booked in an inside fantastica category room on the meraviglia for February with a drinks and wifi included promotion. I want to change to an interior yacht club. In mock bookings it is $180 cheaper for the yacht club room by not using the drinks/wifi promotion and instead using the cheapest option. Do I need to cancel my current booking to do this upgrade (it’s paid in full) or if I call, can I get the yacht club by paying the difference in fares at the cheaper option for the yacht club room? Also, can anyone confirm there would be no penalty if I were to cancel in order to rebook at 5+ months out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierun Posted August 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I’ve called and switched to A YC cabin. But I’m sure others will comment about the disastrous things they’ve experienced in the past. It my experience it was easy. Yacht club includes drinks and Wi-Fi so the package isn’t needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare styles27 Posted August 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2022 With Fantastica you are allowed one free change so if you haven’t used that yet you should be able to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stockjock Posted August 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2022 As long as you are outside of final payment, you can book as a new booking and cancel the other booking for a presumed full refund...or call customer service. Since it's paid in full, I'd be more inclined to call customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted August 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Which ship you on? I can say bathrooms for YINs are tiny and shower coffin size on Seaside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Morgsmom Posted August 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2022 @JAGR nearly spit out my ☕on this one! But the OP makes it seem as if a YC IN is cheaper than an Interior with Drinks/WIFI (?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be a black hole, or IT has taken over the pricing department! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe I worded the original post wrong. If during the upgrade I have to stay in the Drinks/Wi-Fi promotion I will pay an additional $750. If they will allow me to change to the cheapest option (escape to sea) in booking then the price difference is only $570. I didn’t/don’t know if a room change would allow a fare type change as well since with the yacht club I will no longer need the other promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Morgsmom Posted August 25, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Ah, that makes sense. Since it is in Feb your CLEANEST bet is to cancel the first and rebook the YIN as a new booking with no drinks/wifi (because you don't need). If you try to upgrade they will charge the $750 difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeCruise5 Posted August 28, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I appreciate the feedback on this post. Thought I'd give an update. I called MSC to ask the cost to upgrade to the YC interior, fully prepared to cancel the booking. After a 30 minute call that included the rep reaching out to a supervisor for an answer to the question... the rep was able to upgrade me to the YC room I wanted at the lower tiered fare type. According to the rep, the supervisor said the change was allowed since it was an upgrade. I have been emailed my upgraded cabin number as well as price and everything looks right.
