I recently booked a cruise at the future cruise desk on an MSC ship. Booked 2 cabins for my partner, myself, and two friends.
My partner and I are now Diamond status members, and the agent at the future cruise desk said, "I'll book you and your partner in different cabins, so that your Diamond benefits will apply to both cabins. You'll just need to go to Guest Services when you board and ask them to swap your key cards."
Current booking is:
Cabin 1: Me (diamond), Friend 1 (no status)
Cabin 2; My Partner (diamond), Friend 2 (no status)
We need it to end up with:
Cabin 1: Me, and my partner
Cabin 2; Friend 1 and Friend 2
I've never done this before, and she made it seem quite common and straight forward. However, a few older posts on this board have hinted at the fact that it might be problematic and guest services may be reluctant to do it.
Does anyone have any recent experience with trying to swap rooms? Does the fact that 2 of us are Diamond status help or hurt?
Thanks
