Extra fee to pick your own room has gotten ridiculous - time to move on?

That seems expensive. It looks like a solo rate. Room 2 only has one guest, could that have something to do with it? 

Maybe but that’s still over THREE THOUSAND dollars to pick two rooms for three people. Seems so unnecessarily expensive.

Long gone are those days when there wasn't an extra charge to pick your cabin location.

I just tried to book a room on Royal Caribbean. We want two rooms with two people each and want to pick our room to ensure we can get them next to each other. The price is $2020 per person, and shoots up to $3162 to pick our own room! So for four of us, it’s over FOUR THOUSAND dollars extra just to make sure we can get our rooms next to each other. That seems so extreme. 

Book gty and hope they get assigned with enough time before your cruise you can ask to cha ge cabins within the exact same category for the same price. My TA would change my cabin.

Yes, those who are flexible are getting a big discount.
