I keep breaking the Cardinal Sin of Cruising.....

I keep revisiting RCCL's website and watch the fares drop for my upcoming cruise after final payment.

 

WHY do I do that to myself?? :cool:

I did that, and got an upgrade to a large balcony. Almost same price.

Because if you see a lower price, you can upgrade to a better cabin. Also it gives you something to do while you are waiting for the cruise.

We just did that Sunday. Upgraded from a promenade cabin to a balcony guarantee at no cost. Received our room assignment this morning:) The promenade would have been our first non-balcony cabin and we were looking forward to something unique. But for zero cost increase we'll take a balcony:D

[JimAOk1945]

I do that. Oh well, at least we are going on a cruise!!! :D

[Tedw]

So after final payment they will let you upgrade at the current price? This will be our first time I'm ROyal and I was aware of this.

I check it everyday or so. Hoping to upgrade our inside cabin on Allure, in Dec, to at least an ocean view. Have had balcony cabin for at least last 10 cruises but going back to inside because we are paying for a lot of family members to sail with us this time as a Christmas present.

Yup.....we also upgraded after final payment from an inside to a balcony! The balcony cabins were priced $9 less than my original inside! I too, scour the website after final pymnt and drive myself crazy.....but this time it paid off! I checked again a couple days after making the change to the balcony and the balcony prices had gone back up higher than insides so sometimes it does pay to peek! [emoji4]. Enjoy your cruise!

Sooooo........

 

I ended up calling up our TA and upgraded to a D2 Balcony for $73 additional dollars. Actually, all four of us played the Guarantee Lottery and all four of us are next to one another, just like it was when I booked our INSIDE cabins.

 

:p

I thought you were going to say that you call the ship a boat. :)

[Siora7777]

I do it too. I always check to see if I can upgrade.

[tatt2ed]

Best way for me to avoid this was to book the harmony. Our fares went up over $500. I keep checking for that miraculous price drop tho, lol

[dreadpirate3]

I do the same, every time.

 

Only difference this time is I'm booking my February cruise as a last minute one in mid-January, so it will be whatever is available.

[debshomespun]

I continue to check pricing after final payment. ..hoping for a chance to upgrade.

I know, cabins on our Nov 20th cruise are dirt cheap compared to pre-FP. The JS Guaranty is cheaper than the D2 I have now. The funny thing is, there's only 1 JS left so you know exactly which one you're going to get.

 

Of course, there's many times the fares never drop to what I paid, take the good with the bad. I think it even out, mostly.
