sdlic Posted May 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi everyone, quick question. My parents are going on Freedom of the Seas on June 1st. They called Royal to see if they could get an upgrade since the prices had dropped for a balcony ($1800) cheaper than what they paid for an inside room ($1900). Royal stated that they would end up paying $106 since the prices on the site are for the going going gone sale not the actual price that they could get. Am I missing something? Thanks a lot, Sara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot, Sara That sale is likely restricted to new bookings. They usually don't let people upgrade without paying more money if the new price is restricted. Still, I'd jump at the change to go from an inside to a balcony for $106! Edited May 26, 2014 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After checking today's flyer I was coming back to post this very thing. For $106 I would also jump on it!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacsmom Posted May 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I would also jump on the balcony for $106, that is too good to pass up. Many times the sales are for new bookings only. I hope they have a wonderful trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted May 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just called back and they gave them a free upgrade to a ocean view balcony room! That's nice, but I still would have taken the balcony for the $106. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marci22 Posted May 26, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 26, 2014 That's nice, but I still would have taken the balcony for the $106. I think they did get the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest maddycat Posted May 26, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 26, 2014 That's great. Their only problem will be that once they have cruised in a balcony cabin they'll always want a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out to sea! Posted May 26, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 26, 2014 That's great. Their only problem will be that once they have cruised in a balcony cabin they'll always want a balcony. That's not necessarily true. I found that unless it's the dead of winter, I sweat to death on a balcony. Only had one other since my first and that was to please my wife. I much prefer a PT or OV cabin and love the extra jingle in my pocket. Now, if they ever decided to enclose the balconies and add A/C, then i would reconsider.
