Thank you, Steelers36! Yes, I called today and got another TA (same company) and switched a cabin to the adjoining cabin I wanted, and then moved my cabin to that side of the ship. So, it was only a total of two cabin changes. We now have the three cabins together on port side with the adjoining room and two cabins on the starboard side. There was no charge, and he said once we get onboard we can fix the names. The TA today was much more helpful and knowledgable, so it took no time at all. They did have to call Princess to make the change. I am very happy with the resolution. It will be so much nicer for the family of 6 to have adjoining cabins. Hopefully, it won't be a big deal on ship to change names.

I thought so, I don’t think they purposely mislead me, but they don’t know how to help me. It will be a great cruise, but I thought changing cabins would be a fairly easy procedure. Maybe it is a lot of paperwork on their end. I will probably book directly with Princess next time. When I did the online chat with them, they said they won’t be able to change cabins, unless you booked through them. I have to go through my TA.

I did get refundable deposits, but prices have gone up several hundred dollars per cabin. Otherwise, I would cancel and rebook the connecting cabins.

Thank you! All helpful information. I am going to try to get another family member to book that adjoining room and then move around once on the ship. We are in the cabana balcony cabins. In the 2 cabins we have one adult, and two daredevil twins who will be five, and in the other cabin, an adult and a 10 and 13 year old in the other, it would just be nicer if they could have adjoining cabins.

I booked a total of 6 cabins on a Princess ship through a travel site. The TA said no connecting cabins were available on the entire ship. I was on the official Princess site last night and saw there were connecting cabins and one such cabin was available and next to a cabin we already have a deposit on. I called the TA today and tried to switch the rooms around. She told me there would be a huge cost involved over $1500 for just one cabin change. I don’t understand this as they are all the same cabin class and in the same area of the ship. I had booked three cabins next to each other starboard and two cabins next to each other port side. I placed the two sets of cousins (2 in each cabin) in their 20s port side. My son’s family of six we placed in two cabins (3 in each cabin)next to my cabin (2 of us) on the starboard side, all the same class and category. The only available connecting room was next to one of the cousin rooms, so I wanted to get that room, move the family to the two adjoining rooms (one of which we already booked) and move the cousins to our rooms on the starboard side. In essence, all I was doing was getting one ‘new’ cabin and releasing one we had a deposit on. She said there would be a huge cost to this. One of the cabins, is completely paid for, does that make a difference? All of the others are just being held with deposits. The cruise is scheduled for over a year away. I know it would be a pain to change all the names on the cabins, but there are no new people or additional rooms or upgrades. Is this typical? If you want to change your room to the same class and category you have additional charges? Does anyone know if this is a princess policy? Or is this strictly from my TA? I have other family members who want to book, but will tell them to look for a more knowledgeable TA who knows the deck plans better. Ironically, I found out I am in a connecting cabin, of course I don’t know the people my cabin is connected with. I apologize for the length of this, but wanted to fully explain. Just hoping to find out if this is Princess or if I should be shopping for another TA for future cruises.
