Barbara60 Posted April 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I called RC last week as it appeared the price of a balcony cabin had dropped enough that I wanted to switch from our ocean view room to balcony. I believe the young man on the phone said that because my trip was paid in full, I couldn't switch to a lower priced cabin. Is that right or did I misunderstand him? Seems like there are still quite a few balcony rooms available and yes we do have a Royalup bid on one but his response confused me. We are cruising Alaska in May.

Sunshine3601 Posted April 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2023 You should be able to switch cabin type and pay the difference. I have done it within 30days of a sailing in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Call back and say you want to upgrade your room. THe agent might have thought you wanted the lower price on your current room, which you can't do after final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted April 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2023 If you get the new cabin, be sure to cancel the RoyalUp bid immediately. There have been stories here of people paying for an upgrade and then winning their RoyalUp bid to a cabin equal to or lesser than the cabin they paid for.

Most of the time a change in category or even a cabin assignment with a GTY booking is enough of a booking change that it will trigger all existing Royal Up bids to be cancelled. It might better to cancel the bids even before making the booking change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiraus82 Posted April 4, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Related question. I received a RoyalUp offer for my oceanview stateroom. I didn't bid. Instaed, due to a big price drop, I called and moved to a balcony guarantee. Will I receive a new invitation to bid from balcony to suites?

Yes, that should come within a couple of days or you can try going directly to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
