GTY Room Assigned - quesiton

[Lollipop's Mom]

I have never sailed Royal - how 'locked in' is the room now? Can it change again until sail date? I have to say it isn't a room location I prob would have chosen on my own, but for the deal I got I know I can't be picky.

Is it wrong to tell them I don't love the location and see if there is another or am I just stuck with what I get because I gambled a gty?

I booked the cruise on a night and sail in 76 days.

If you are booked under US/Canadian rules, Royal will normally allow you to change to any other available stateroom in the same exact category to which you have been assigned.

If they have something of the SAME category in a location you'd prefer, they are likely to move you...all you can do is ask!

Unless you are told no three times like I was for our Anthem cruise.:mad:

When you call to change cabins do not mention that you had a guarantee.

 

Just state that you would like to move from cabin xxx to yyy. As Bob mentioned they must be the exact same category.

I just did that this week. I also had a guarantee and just said that I wanted to change to room number XXXx and added that it is the same category as the room I currently have booked. Like Ken said don't mention that you have a guarantee that is when you might be told no

Sometimes lifeboat capacity will limit movement. Also if you have booked 2 the room and trying to move to a tri- or quad- they may not allow movement.

 

Also, as Bob stated, this is for US/Canada only.

 

At the end of the day you booked a GTY.......you took a risk for a better price. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it does not.

It worked! I called and said I would like to move to this room, same cat - and done deal!!!!!

There have been stories of Royal moving people after the GTY assignment, but those are pretty rare. For example they put 2 passengers in a quad and then end up needing the quad, they would move you to a room for 2.

 

As others have said, you should be able to move within the same category (i.e. D2 to D2). You can also ask to go back into the GTY pool and take your chances with getting reassigned.

Just did the same this AM. Had a guarantee cabin assigned yesterday (D2) below the Navigator's Windjammer and looked on the UK site for available D2's in other locations. Just called and stated I would like cabin number XXXX and he changed it and sent along the new confirmation doc.
