Do they ever take away an upgrade?

[gobnu1]

Just got upgraded to the Royal Family Suite for our anniversary cruise. I would love to tell my wife but do not want to risk disappointing her if there is a possibility that we could be switched back. tia

[gobnu1]

anyone?

[bigreid07]

i dont know for certain, but I would HIGHLY doubt it. If they do, I think they'd do something big to keep you happy.

[Iamthesea]

Don't tell her...just surprise her!

Did you book a guarantee or a specific cabin? If you booked a guarantee, they CAN bump you down, though it does not happen very often. If you booked a specific cabin and got an upgrade, then I doubt you will be downgraded at all.

booked a specific D1 cabin, not a guarantee, was hoping for a bump to JS. Never thought about this much of an upgrade.

I think it may depend on how soon your cruise is, and how full they are. I know when we booked the RFS with less than 5 people, we were told we could get bumped if a larger group came along. I would think in your case, though, they would compensate you with an Owners suite, at least.

By the way, which ship is it? If it's Voyager or Radiance class (or the Enchantment) the RFS entitles you to use the concierge lounge.

Voyager in 5 days and there are no rooms above interior rooms left that I can find.

I think you are safe! Enjoy the extra space :D

Congrats!!!! How did you find out and was that suite available online? I'm going on the Jewel soon but its booked so I know there aren't any upgrades available.

You're so lucky! Have a great cruise!

found out by checking my reservation online. didn't check the suite availability as I never dreamed to get one.

You're going to love that suite AND the concierge lounge. Be sure to visit as soon as you get on the ship and arrange for your ice show tickets/tender tickets/alternate dinner reservations.

Have a wonderful time!

Have Fun!!

No, but I'm dying to. We had to postpone this trip for the last 2 years as her Mom was battling cancer (unfortunately passed away over the holidays). My wife quit her job to take care of her and really deserved something special. I had no idea it would be this special.

Dont tell your wife - it will be a bonus for you.

Also, the concierge will more than likely contact you before the cruise to let you know he can help you. He did with us anyway. He let us know when formal nights were and premade our dinner reservations at the alternate restaurants. The tickets for the ice show were in the room with the concierge information packet available to use at our convience. Take some CD's to use with the sound system in your room. Maybe you and your wife's special songs, she will love that. Since you got the upgrade for free, order flowers to be in the room for her when you arrive, maybe some champagne. You can do this online on the RCCL site. You will need your reservation number to reference on the order. You will get snacks every afternoon as part of the level of room you now have and have access to free cocktails, snacks in the pm and continental breakfast in the am via the concierge lounge, as are DVD's you can borrow during your trip. You will also be able to walk past the line when you board to the suite level check in.

Enjoy your trip and make it a once in a lifetime for your wife. Keep your trap shut and let her enjoy the moment.

Wow, that is some nice upgrade, but it sounds like you 2 really deserve it!! I agree don't tell your wife, the look on her face when she sees the room will be priceless!

[Nliedel]

Duct tape that mouth and let it be a surprise. She will fall over and be thrilled! Then do something romantic and amazing like hand her flowers (waiting in the cabin) or chocolate or a small piece of jewelry. You will be a king and she will cry the best kind of tears there are.

gobnu1 - Did you see the other thread where I left you links to photo's of your suite?

I agree with the above posters, try not to tell and once you arrive at the pier take her to the priority boarding area (if there is one at the terminal). Tell her the good news there and watch the smile on her face! :)

yes I did thank you very much.

[PTarbay]

You could even tell her your travel agent arranged for priority boarding when you're at the terminal and then still surprise her again when you open the door to the suite

NO! NO! NO! Don't tell her!! I love surprises (good ones, that is)! For her sake, keep a secret! It's only a week!

[PTarbay]

don't forget to come back after the cruise and tell us how it went
