I just did this -- went from an 8A to a 5C and saved over a thousand dollars. HIGHLY worth it for us! I called my travel agent and she canceled and rebooked for us.
Yes, and after the Paid in Full date. So we lost our deposit (on 2 B2B cruises). We went from an oceanview to a verandah, forfeited our deposit(s) and still saved over $1000.00.
Switching to a VGT
2 rooms or 1? The good news is if all four of you are in one room you won't get a navigators verandah you'll get something better. The navigators on the classics only sleep 3. When I've booked VGT's on the Dream and Fantasy I've gotten everything from a 5c to a 4a. It's kind of exciting to see where you'll end up. I've always gotten a higher level then I would have booked had I chosen the room.
Just 1 room for the 4 of us. Will we lose our PAT, meet and greet tickets, etc?
That's what I was afraid of, I kind of don't even want to call. I don't know if it's worth having to go through all that stuff!
I guess it depends on how much you want the balcony. As far as transferring the money from one reservation to another. It takes a matter of minutes. DCL's Cm's are fast and efficient. I've done it so many times. They've done it so many times. It won't be a issue at all. I've only paid a penalty once. Sometimes I'll have cruise paid off and a GT rate pops up a month earlier and I jump on it or I just change my mind and decide on a different cruise. Transferring money from one reservation to another is about as easy as transferring from your checking to your savings. DCL rocks in this area.
