Blessedwith10 Posted January 13 #1 Share Posted January 13 Hello, Does anyone have experience with wait listing a cabin? I have a hold on a port balcony cabin, while I check on airfare, work etc. While on the phone with Royal the rep told me there is 1 aft balcony also on hold, through a TA. And that cabin needs to be paid by this Tuesday or the hold will fall off. I would LOVE to have that aft cabin. The Royal rep, put us on a waitlist for that specific cabin number. And recommended that I call back on Tuesday/Wednesday to check if the cabin becomes available. My question is this: Does wait listing a specific cabin, or even a cabin category, does it work? If the cabin becomes available, will my reservation be automatically switched to that room? Has this ever worked for anyone? Or is it just a joke? Thanks for your help.

cruiseboy89130 Posted January 13 #2 Share Posted January 13 You will get an email to call - if the waitlist becomes available - but nothing automatic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted January 13 #3 Share Posted January 13 I have never found a rep that will ever offer information about a specific cabin and whether it was booked or on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised when the rep gave me that info. I have since called back, twice. Once the rep confirmed the hold was still active. And once the rep just said the cabin was unavailable.

Blessedwith10 Posted January 17 Author #6 Share Posted January 17 Just wanted to update you on this.... According to the original rep, the room that I wanted to switch to, was on hold through a travel agent, until Jan 16 at 11:00pm. So, last night I was on the phone with Royal at 10:57pm. I explained the situation, and at 11:01 the rep refreshed his computer screen and the coveted AFT balcony appeared and he grabbed it for me ☺️😁☺️ So excited to be back on the Explorer, on the AFT!!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
