dogchopper Posted September 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2013 :D I'm so excited!! I'm sailing on the Freedom of the Seas on Sept 29th and I'm sure some of you will remember me lamenting about the fact that the price for the balcony room was now less than I had paid for my ocean view. 2 weeks prior it was 10 bucks more than my OV. I called and they kept telling me "it's a no brainer" we can just upgrade you BUT since you booked with a TA she has to call. But every time my TA called they would say, we never said that, we don't do that after the final payment. I was so frustrated and THEN I saw someone on the roll call for my cruise saying the same thing happened to her and they upgraded her!!! SO I copied and pasted that, sent it and the link to my TA and she said "this is great, it will help" and PRESTO CHANGO I have a balcony!!!!!!!! I'm so excited I bet I won't sleep for a week!!!!

Dave85 Posted September 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Congrats! Persistence pays off in situations like this... particularly when you're in the right policy wise (they will upgrade you after final payment if you're paying them something additional). Unfortunately plenty of RCI reps are uninformed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathyCanada Posted September 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Congrats!!! There is a lesson here...tell your TAs to keep calling until they get the "right" answer! Enjoy the Freedom, one of my favourites! And be sure to visit James Barr in the Schooner Bar, he's awesome, sailed with him on the Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistshar Posted September 6, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It's a trap!!! Once you have a balcony, you can never go back. We never have. We love balconies. Congrats! Hope you have a great time on your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted September 6, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Congrats, but after one balcony you will never want to switch back to an inside. :p Have fun Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldcity Posted September 6, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It shouldn't have been that much of a struggle, but I'm glad it paid off. A cruise is the cake ... and a balcony is the icing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogchopper Posted September 7, 2013 Author #15 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks everyone!! I can't believe how hard it was to get but I guess it will make it even more special !! And I am very afraid I will have a hard time going back to an inside or ocean view after this trip!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
