2flacruisers Posted October 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2023 We've never had a Sky Suite before and decided now was the time. We booked a Guarantee Suite, and were assigned cabin 8121 (handicapped accessible), but we are not in need of this type of room. We are wondering that if another person would require this room, would be reassigned? Anyone have this type of situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted October 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2023 It’s unlikely that someone who wants an accessible suite would book quite so last minute, so you will probably keep that room 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I would call to see if I could switch cabins to one of those. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard pickle ball is a problem that way. OP I would hit X up on it and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agape01 Posted October 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I would check how many SS are available just the day before I get on this cruise. Pick the suite that works for you and note down the suite no. On embarkation, I would go straight to Retreat Concierge, give them the suite no that you want to switch to and ask whether is it possible to switch suites. That may possibly work out. Alternatively, no harm to call 1-888-RETREAT to ask to ask about the possibility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofysmom99 Posted October 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Since your cabin has been assigned and there are others still vacant, go ahead and call to request a switch to another. It works best if you tell them which cabin you'd prefer and be quick because move-ups are opening soon. I won't cruise in either 8121/5 again (balcony isn't very private). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because of the elevator next door? (would not bother me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can see them, they can see you. And the lighting from the elevators was annoying at night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted October 22, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 22, 2023 It is not uncommon to get an accessible suite when booking a Guarantee. Keep an eye out and if another SkySuite comes available call you agent or Celebrity and change rooms if you don't want it. Remember -- if a SS2 you will have to find a SS2 room. or SS1 for SS1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tjunmin Posted October 22, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 22, 2023 At the moment, 6102, 6118 and 6119 are available in your category on your sailing. Just call Celebrity and ask to change your suite. When I've done it in the past, it took just 5 minutes. No hassle, as long as the change is for a different cabin in the same category. Happy sailing!

zitsky Posted October 22, 2023 #13 Share Posted October 22, 2023 What ship are we talking about? We did a move up on Beyond and were given an accessible SS. It was HUGE. The shower had a curtain but drained better than on other ships reported here on CC. Apparently drainage is a problem in some accessible showers.

Cruise a holic Posted October 22, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 22, 2023 We had an accessible sky suite on an S class ship. The room is larger, but the bathroom is really not for a person not in a wheel chair. The sink is low, the mirror is low, and the shower had no lip so the floor flooded. Also, no real bathroom storage- if you can change try to- either on board or via a call. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted October 22, 2023 #16 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I hope you can change. Summit has some quirky cabin issues. One time, 15 day RT Hawaii we had a regular cabin next to a suite. Our balc was tiny & pie shaped (room for one seated or two only standing)..looking right into a suite next door. Was not marked as limited.. Our TA had no idea! We could not switch, but as soon as we got home, we were able to change out the same cabin set up on a future cruise. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
