Wolffie89 Posted September 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Our sailing dropped prices down a bunch almost $500 of what we paid. I booked with a travel agent and paid in full already. Is there anything we can do as in get a better room or something. Kind of upset I didn't wait! Oct27 sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent should be able to give you some options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent an email her way but my theory is that I'll just end up paying even more then I already did because the prices dropped so low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stleda124 Posted September 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If there are still other cabins available, you can request an upgrade and pay the difference. If there is no difference to be paid then essentially it would be a "free" upgrade. Since I assume you mean Oct 27th of this year, you can't get any money back.

Example. If you paid $800 pp for an OV originally and you want to upgrade to balcony that is currently $769 pp. You pay $0 to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffie89 Posted September 19, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted September 19, 2018 There is plenty of upgraded cabins available for less then I paid but doesnt the travel agency give the rooms back to royal they didnt sell after final payment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll wait for her response. I just figured the agency is in it to make money so why would they allow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the travel agency has given back staterooms, they can still sell any open stateroom on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured the agency is in it to make money so why would they allow it Just say I see the price for xxx cabin is at less than what I originally paid and I would like to switch to that stateroom. Or I would like to pay the difference to xxx cabin if the cabin is higher. They do this all the time. Since our original booking with price drops, we upgraded 4 times and finally landed in a crown loft. Some were no cost upgrades and some were paid upgrades. Good luck.

cruisegirl1 Posted September 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2018 In some cases, you may lose any perks you have from the original booking, such as onboard credit. We just upgraded an upcoming cruise and lost our onboard credits from the original sailing. The new booking had no onboard credit offers.

Wolffie89 Posted September 19, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted September 19, 2018 What was your previous category and what is your new category? Went from a regular interior to interior with virtual balcony. We dont spend much time in the room but she did offer a a central park balcony or virtual for the same price. She recommended the virtual. Ocean view and ocean view balcony for an upcharge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JessyCruises Posted September 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Congrats on the uppgrade. I am with Bob. I would have gone for for Central Park too. You get the natural light & balcony plus you gets the perks - lunch at Jamies and a bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted September 20, 2018 #17 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Another vote for the Central park balcony cabin. Wolffie, if you change your mind, just call your TA and back and make the switch. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted September 20, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Central Park Balcony would have also given you a free bottle of wine and a lunch for 2 at Jamie’s Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondsd Posted September 20, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I definitely would have recommended the CP balcony over the virtual balcony. Ask your TA to switch you if you prefer the CP balcony now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGG Posted September 20, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Had a virtual balcony. A gimmick at best. More like a picture on the wall. If it is the location you like better then take it. Otherwise I suggest the balcony for natural light. Sent from my SM-T113 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffie89 Posted September 20, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Well I guess I made a stupid choice then lol. I emailed her today and asked about switching to the balcony but it may be too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingForward2 Posted September 20, 2018 #22 Share Posted September 20, 2018 No, don’t feel your choice was stupid. You were going on the advice of the TA. everyone makes choices, doesn’t make any of them right or wrong. With that being said.... my choice would have been the Central Park balcony also. [emoji6] (Natural light plus perks) Let us know how it works out. Harmony is a great ship! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffie89 Posted September 20, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I have an option of changing to a ocean view guaranteed from the virtual inside but I would lose my $50 obc. What would you guys do? When I look at the available ocean view rooms they are all on deck 3, I'm currently on deck9. The central park now has a fee to upgrade, waited too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
