LOL, Fred, there is abundant evidence that you are wrong as it has been happening for years, though only for cruisers who book under certain countries booking rules…not for those who book under other booking rules. If you have already picked your cabin, it is no skin off your nose if RCI decides to allow a few people to swap to another cabin. Nobody is “refusing” their guarantee; some people ask for and are granted swaps within very specific parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Royal chooses the room, the room can be Boardwalk balcony, Central Park balcony, or Ocean View Balcony, it's not just O.V. Balcony, correct? Thanks if you click on ‘you pick your room’ you should see an option for ocean view balcony guarantee. We found this for our Harmony cruise when playing around with prices/room types. Glad we found it as didn’t really want a Central Park or boardwalk balcony. It worked fine for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave all the other choices to those who paid to pick their cabin. IMHO I asked, I was kind to the agent, and they moved me...and this was very close to sailing so I was not stealing a cabin. So no, if Royal is willing to move me to a cabin in my category, I am going to allow them to do so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no problem. At least on the UK sure if you choose 'i choose the room' then scroll to the bottom of the options there is often an option for ocean view balcony guarantee. I am not sure if this is on the USA site as well. It is a bit hidden though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is nice when the OV balcony gty option appears there. Sometimes, even though that option is not listed on the website under “you pick your room”, an OV balcony gty can be booked by calling Royal Caribbean or a TA. So, if the option is not there on the website for your next cruise, you could investigate further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
