BonnieSte Posted February 23 #1 Share Posted February 23 I have heard that Princess will upgrade you without you wanting to. Is that true? If so how can I prevent this? Another question, we are going with 2 other couples. Should we link our rooms? Thank you in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted February 23 #2 Share Posted February 23 It's a tick box when booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpeabody Posted February 23 #4 Share Posted February 23 AFIK, there is no "tick box" I typically book on Princess website and transfer to TA. I have never seen one. If you do not wish Princess to decide on your cabin location, contact where ever the booking was made and ask to have it marked "No Upgrade" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted February 23 #5 Share Posted February 23 You have to positively state to have your booking marked "No Upgrade." I always have my T.A. arrange for this. I don't know how you do it if you booked on line. Do you want all your accounts linked or your dining linked? You link accounts by providing the same credit card number for all individuals. You link dining in the Dine My Way app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgirl Posted February 23 #10 Share Posted February 23 Your TA can also do a TWID (Travel With ID) that can be entered on all bookings to link them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted February 23 #12 Share Posted February 23 No box to mark in the US. Be aware that having a booking marked as "No Upgrade" doesn't always work. I had a cabin changed something like 4 times even though it was marked as "No Upgrade". I kept having to get my TA to get the original cabin back. I eventually sent a snotty-gram to Princess about the change and they finally got the message. I received a call apologizing for them messing with the cabin. We had chosen a specific location to make my wife happy (it was very near to the aft pool) and they kept "upgrading" us to a location that was midship which Princess thinks is "better".

greenbeanie Posted February 23 #13 Share Posted February 23 I chose my own cabin at the time of booking. Wanted that specific room in that specific location. Am I understanding that Princess can/would "upgrade" that without contacting me (or my TA) - even if I paid extra to select my own cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted February 23 #14 Share Posted February 23 I research and then choose a cabin for b2b's. I want to remain in the same cabin for the entire time on board which could be 2, 3, 4 voyages. I have my cabin marked no upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTraveller Posted February 23 #15 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Have your booking marked "No Upgrade" for your best chance of not being upgraded, though it doesn't always work. I had a carefully chosen cabin booked for a year for my last cruise. A week before the cruise I received an email that my cabin had been upgraded even though my booking was marked "No Upgrade". When I rang to try and get my booked cabin back I was told that it had already been allocated to someone else and I could not be moved back.

They certainly need to notify you or your TA. I had it happen twice. 1st time due to a mechanical issue. Received a larger and definitely upgraded cabin. 2nd time due to a large group. Was offered several choices and OBC or discount on a future cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
