S.S.Oceanlover Posted February 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I am booked on Oasis for April 2018 and my daughters family was thinking of joining us. She wanted a cabin near us so I went to the RCI website to book it and there were no cabins left on the deck we are on. Going to my old TA's site they have tons of cabins available on deck 11 and even one a few doors down from us. Is this normal for all cruises?

Clarea Posted February 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Royal's US site is notorious for showing a minimal number of available staterooms. Their UK site shows much more: http://www.royalcaribbean.co.uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangled1010 Posted February 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Try requesting the specific cabin.number you are seeing available on the TA'S website on Royals website. It should come up for you Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted February 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Their UK site shows much more: http://www.royalcaribbean.co.uk. except right now it is not showing anything because it's not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted February 24, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2017 except right now it is not showing anything because it's not working. That must mean that the back end (or communications to the back end) is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they updated today, I have been inputting specific cabins all week trying to find staterooms close by for a summer sailing [emoji4] I was able to see more available staterooms on a third party website then use those available room numbers and enter the cabin number on Royals site. Now I have to go check it out again have not looked today lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bob stated it has been this way since the last "improvement":rolleyes: many months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be because I am searching for 2 cabins at the same time. I select my category and then once Royal's site selects stateroom numbers, I can go back in and choose to change the deck or enter a specific stateroom number that way. If just looking for 1 cabin, I dont see a way to "select" a specific one. The initial search has to be for 2 rooms. To note sometimes I get lucky and it reverts back to the "old" format, which was way better, jmho :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted February 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Unfortunately, since the last "improvement" to Royal's US website, you can no longer enter specific stateroom numbers. I think the entire process of finding a cabin is now much more tedious on RCI's site. Not only can you not put in a specific number but you can't even see a sample of cabins in a particular category for the entire deck. It is broken down into aft, mid, and forward cabins. I use another site for cabin selection. It is just much easier. Heck, it is hard enough to just put in the date range that you want to see cruises for. I think Royal's site is now the worst it has ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopster95 Posted February 24, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hint: Why struggle typing in tens (if not hundreds) of cabin numbers when you can go an a specific site (rhymes with "centipedia") and see cabins available to you within each category on a deck plan with little dots flashing on those that are available. If you can't figure out what site, email me below and I'll gladly email back the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted February 24, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thanks for all the replies. Glad i asked as i didn't know about the 2 cabin method there. Hoopster I hope you don't get this thread deleted. Bill Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
