Double Points / Solo C&A Question

[BrianLo]

Hey Cruise Critic, was going to ask this on another website but stuck with moderator approval. 

 

I have bit of a quandary that I cannot find a direct answer to as it relates to a few overlapping issues. I have a cruise booked as a solo for September 30th to Hawaii on Ovation. It was booked Spring 2021 under the double points promo. All well and good and it just so happens to cause me to bypass Emerald entirely thanks to the essentially 9Nx4 earn of 36 points (If I understand that correctly). While that seems like a masterful strategic plan, it was just dumb luck that I realized way after the fact.

 

Or so I thought. I just realized I booked into a studio cabin and have recently put together that does not qualify for single supplement doubling of C&A points.

 

If I were to pay (not royal Up), for an inside, or frankly even I might just spring for a balcony at current prices:

1) Does my entire final payment carry over and can I essentially just pay the difference that I am seeing currently priced out on RCCL?

2) Would that change, resulting in me paying for a regular cabin, result in x2 Solo Points. Or is it stuck to what my original cabin booking was for?

3) Would the Double Points promo from last year still retain itself on the booking, or be dropped in the process?

 

Frankly as long as 2 of the 3 apply it's likely worth the price difference anyways. 3/3 is a no brainer at the price difference and the diamond perks for a 10 day cruise in December.

Paying should work - the key thing is to keep your original booking number.

My liberty sailing as a solo is classified as 4V interior. I'm curious as to what a studio cabin's classification number is?

4v are double occupancy.  Inside studios are W.  Studio balconies are F 

 

Liberty does not have studio cabins.

Thanks Ken !  Somewhere I have a sheet that has all the cabin classifications and codes but I can't seem to find it now.
