norcalal Posted February 7, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I booked Liberty for jan 2022, a cor aft that was booked for three people. The third person cannot make it. If I remove their name, can they relocate me to a two person balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casino Comp Chick Posted February 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) If it’s KSF date switch out the name for a child and then get a refund of the port fees after you sail. Edited February 7, 2021 by Casino Comp Chick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they can and when they move you to a double occupancy cabin they can reprice it at today’s rates. as Biker suggested just have the third person be a no show and get back the port fees and taxes depending on how bad you want to keep the cabin or how the current prices are. Your other option is to find a different third person. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lost my coveted aft corner and got repriced to a higher rate that would be the last cruise I took with them. Definitely have the third person as a no show. Some of those aft balconies are worth the price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they moved you and you don't do anything, you wouldn't get repriced. It's calling for KSF, or some other meaningful change that may trigger a reprice.

I’ve been told on more than one occasion that if I call to cancel a third guest that the cabin will be repriced as you are now moving to a different category. Of course with Royal you can always expect different experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted February 7, 2021 #11 Share Posted February 7, 2021 We booked a corner aft when the 3rd person rate was only a couple dollars, knowing the 3rd person was going to be a no show. We felt the extra couple hundred dollars was worth it to get the corner aft. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted February 7, 2021 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I agree with those who recommend doing NOTHING (unless it is to replace the third person with a different third person) and then having the third person be a no-show. While you will not get the cruise fare back for that person, you will get taxes, ports fees and gratuities (if they have been prepaid) back and you will not lose your cabin. By far the best option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 7, 2021 #13 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Is there another after corner in the same category you can move to? I have a 2 person cabin, but I do read those on lower decks have a larger balcony. Seems like you might be stuck with a invisible pax to keep your great cabin. I want to keep mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the same category then it still sleeps more than 2 guests which is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea I forget rcl categories are by double occupany or more. I guess just watch prices and if they drop and a corner aft open he can move. That makes it harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 7, 2021 #16 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The minimum occupancy can vary with those corner afts...it doesn't always apply with every ship/date and itinerary. We actually have a 2 bdrm 2 bath Oceanview Panoramic Suite on Freedom and were able to book it with only 2 people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly Royal is a lot less restrictive with the occupancy requirements now for suites than they are for the Quad cabins. I guess they just want to make sure the suites at least get booked as it’s the first 2 guests that are paying the big bucks while 3rd and 4th rate is negligible in the grand scheme of things for suites. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcalal Posted February 7, 2021 Author #18 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thank you all.....I was aware of most options but I did not know that it was possible that they would reprice the cabin. This is why I love CC, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
