guarentee cabin eligible to switch?

[Sianli]

One last question on switch and sail. If currently booked in a guaranteed cabin- not a specific category, does there need to be a guaranteed category available on new sailing, or could we switch to lowest category?

There was at least one report of someone being able to do a lift and switch to the lowest category

The other post was a guy with a suite gty who could switch to a JS, worked

I had suite guarantee and had to pick a junior suite when we switched. I’ve seen others mention that they weren’t allowed to so I guess it depends on who you talk to at Royal.

O.K. Thank you.  I will try again to get through and report back as to my results!

Soooooo yes guaranteed cabin do lift and switch. We booked 5 cabins on FOS Sept 2020, 3 of the cabins had children under 10, one got military rate, and ours senior discount. Booked guarantee inside cabins. Switch to Allure in August 2021. That sailing did not have guarantee category for 2 of our cabins, so we got all 5 cabins booked to 4V in a row. All discounts transferred.  Got carried away and next booked a suite for 8 night Empress of the Seas early November 2020, and switched to same category 8 night Jewel over Christmas. My sister reserved a family suite on Freedom for July 2020 and successfully switched to Symphony July 2021.(luckily she did that yesterday!) Another daughter booked a guaranteed rate on another ship and has also switched it forward. This is certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity to try new ships and save big.
