Are you asking if it would be possible to combine two bookings into the single two-bedroom grand suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal does not allow adding reservations together. We had friends who were two adults two kids try to upgrade two balconies to 1 suite for all four and were told you can not combine.

I doubt it would be cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted January 24, 2020 #4483 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks Bob I thought it would involve a cancellation. Not a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted January 24, 2020 #4484 Share Posted January 24, 2020 No royal up for us yet. Good luck chiliburn on upgrading! There are are still heaps of balconies available on this sailing. plus suites hoping that royal will firstly upgrade chilburn and then work its way down to us in the inside cabins.

Esilef Posted January 24, 2020 #4485 Share Posted January 24, 2020 My question is. If you do get your upgrade paid fairy room. Can you change the room allocated ie 6D to another one in the same category allocated ie another 6D. reason is that I have 2 interconnected rooms inside currently as I have my autistic brother and son to care for as well as giving my father in his 70’s a break from caring, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While policy says no, others have reported being able to move, just like with a GTY assignment. This is under US booking rules, not sure about Aussie rules.

We have a bid in and lets say it gets accepted 24 hours out and we are at our hotel. How are the bag tags handled? Would we need to find a way to get new tags made at the hotel? I really doubt our bid will be accepted, but want to be prepared if it is. They will take care of it at the port. I had the same question when I called Royal. No worries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 26, 2020 #4489 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Have been holding out for small hope to finally score an upgrade with a strong bid, but alas...not happening again. Several suites were showing for months on next week Vision. As of yesterday....every one of them has disappeared..."poof"!! No charges on my credit card...so...was not me that got lucky...lost out again. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no upgrade offers? It’s probably because you have connecting rooms and probably a linked reservation. So to upgrade you they would have to have connecting rooms.Which would be unlikely. If you get two balconies you can open the divider on the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted January 27, 2020 #4495 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Also, you are "assuming" you might win the bid- if you really want a suite, book it for four. Your teenage kids can sleep on the large queen sized couch and the suite might have an additional bed that would be brought in. Everyone in the suite will have access to suite perks. If you can book a crown loft, you also have two bathrooms and great closet space. Price it out, may work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkvoss Posted January 27, 2020 #4496 Share Posted January 27, 2020 We don't travel much, this will be our first big vacation... when I booked, the two joint cabin option appeared to be the most cost effective at the time. We are blessed with what we already have so will not be disappointed if we don't get the upgrade. Thank you for information. This is also my first time using cruisecritic, very neat! Lots of nice people and helpful info on here. Thank you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on board right now and did a royal up to a Star Loft suite. Our adult son and his girlfriend are in their own room but our Genie has included them in our reservations for everything we’ve done. In our emails before we boarded I told her who we were traveling with and she said they would be included no problem.

I can see the included, but did they need to buy a dining pkg to eat with you outside of in room dining? Are they allowed in the SL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
