Upgrade at the pier.. suite to suite?

There is less than 4 weeks until sailing. Have a suite GTY booked, have JS. Can I do a paid upgrade at the pier? There are TONS of suites open (GS, OS, RFS). So if they are still open, what is the cost to go from suite to suite?

If there are really that many open you will probably get one - that's the great part about a GTY suite. Enjoy :) You should get a call about two weeks prior to sailing.

They may have changed since this came out?

Thank to Radio who posted this a while back.The prices

below are per cabin. . . NOT per person. . .

RCI Upgrades

From INSIDE to

Royal Suite - $1500

Suite - $1000

Balcony - $600

Outside - $300

Inside - $100

From OUTSIDE to

Royal Suite - $1200

Suite - $700

Balcony - $300

Outside - $100

From BALCONY to

Royal Suite - $1000

Suite - $400

Balcony - $100

From SUITE to

Royal Suite - $800

Suite - $400

those are the prices from the Pier Coordinator ONLY.

(RCI Revenue Dept (Miami)).

If you board the ship and upgrade at the Guest Relation

desks (On Board SHIP revenue Dept.) . . . the price you

would pay is usually MUCH Higher.

Here is a reminder. . . You must check in fully at the

check in desk, and when they hand you your Sea Pass

card. . .then it is OK to go to the Pier Coordinator to

inquire about an upgrade.

Another posting by CC Radio.

The regular Check In Counters at the Pier are for the Ships' Network(ex: Liberty of the Seas).

The Pier Coordinator will have a list of how many and what type of Cabins that were unbooked prior to the Sail date.

The pier coordinator is UNABLE to check in your Set Sail Pass. You must check in FIRST. . .then you can ask to speak to the Pier Coordinator.

The No-Shows (Customers who are booked, but never show up at the pier)are handle differently. . .

Those Upgrades may be purchased from the Guest Services Desk (Pursers Desk) However. . . those usually are at a much higher cost than the Pier Coordinator.

While the Ship is at the Pier. . .It belongs to Miami, and when the ship leaves the dock any upgrade would be a part of the Ship's Onboard Revenue. (profit )

Thanks! There are 2 RFS, at least 4 OS, and 5 GS... If no upgrades, thats okay. I am willing to shell out $400 for an upgrade! Been selling my butt off on ebay to have a special trip with my daughter!

It would be worth paying the upgrade if it was 400 to go to a suite. I hope that option presents itself when we get to the pier.

Hi Alexis,

Great information:) So, after I check in just ask to speak with the pier coordinator? Do the prices change according to cruise or ship? Or they pretty much standard across the board.

If these prices are still the correct ones, they are standard for all the ships sailing now.

I believe if they were not the latest, someone would have corrected me by now.

"Hi" to Bob.

anyone have prices for the short cruises?? Right now,there are 9 suites for my 3 night cruise for tomorrow...

Do have a feeling though,they will tell me its sold out:(

You're killing me! With a few exceptions, the suites on Monarch sold out long before final payment when she was out here.:(

Just get to the pier early and ask at the pier coordinator's desk. Play up the DP angle, too.:)

LOTS of cabins still available...........catch the red eye!

If you upgrade to a suite, do you still get the 2 cruise credits if upgrading from below the JS level?

Id pay the difference too.

Yes,you do...............I have done it before.

:) I love your answer!!!

Is the price to upgrade per person or per cabin????

And why would they charge you $100 to change from Balcony to Balcony? That doesn't seem like an upgrade.... unless it's a higher category balcony (ie better location)....

:) I love your answer!!!

hahah..........hopefully tomorrow,I'll be doing it again:p

I hope you can too, and no matter what, have a great cruise. Im having to wait until January.

It says per cabin. Yes, if you wanted to move up within your category those are the prices. Like E2 to a D1 within a balcony category.

How are you finding out about unsold cabins already? Is there a web site I'm not finding?

Just look at www.rccl.com to get an idea how many cabins are left....

can anyone do this on any sailing on any ship? or is it selective and random (like opening the dividers on balconies on certain ships)?

Anyone can upgrade on any ship. It's a first come/first serve kind of thing.

The prices vary by ship/cruise length.

Thats interesting. I was hoping I could upgrade for the amount posted for 7 days on Oasis!!!

You need to 'click' on the cabin type you are interested in. It may seem as though you aren't supposed to as the 'little hand' doesn't appear, but it does work. It then takes you to a sub category of the cabin and you need to click on that. Then the deck plans with the cabins available will appear. Have fun!!

Also.......cabins disappear about a day before cruising, as they are turned over to the ship.

Kathy............there is an excellent chance that you will get what you want when you get to the pier.

Good luck and have a wonderful cruise!!

I'm leaving for a cruise in January and was curious about this same thing. I just want to make sure that I understand everything. I need to get to the pier and then go and check-in, which I assume is where I get my SeaPass card, and then ask to speak to the pier coordinator. Now, is the coordinator in the same building/area, or do I need to leave the building to find him/her. I will be traveling with wife and 3 kids, so want to make sure I have the logistics down.
