Hello! We have Martinique buildings 24, 25, 26 requested on our reservation. King bed is the room we selected, also hoping for a water view. Our
travel agent called Disney to link our reservation with my parents' reservation, and no one was able to tell her if there are any king beds in Martinique, or how many there are. Any thoughts and suggestions regarding our preferences would be appreciated! Many, many thanks!!
Let me start by trying to let you down easy ... although it's always possible you might get sprinkled with pixie dust, it is very highly unlikely you will get the exact room you want.
First off, the king-size bed rooms are sprinkled throughout the resort; I don't know that I've ever seen a listing of the exact number of king-size bed rooms in each of CBR's 33 guest buildings.
At CBR, there are 3 possible "upgrades" that you can pay for. Each of the 3 is something you must reserve and pay for in order to guarantee, and each one carries an additional charge of between $15-$26 per night. The strange thing is, you can't reserve and pay for more than one of them. You'd have to choose one to pay for and then merely reserve the others. This is the position you find yourself in.
The 3 types of upgraded rooms are: king-size bed, water view, and preferred location.
Preferred location means being in one of the 6 buildings closest to Old Port Royale, the complex that has the main pool, food court, outdoor bar, water sports rental, shops, arcade, etc. Three of the 6 preferred location buildings are Martinique 24, 25 and 26. You say you "selected" a king-size bed room. If you reserved and paid for a king-size bed room, then the resort's priority will be to place you in a king-size bed room first and foremost, regardless of anything else.
There are plenty of water view rooms at the resort, but if that category is sold out, then you'll have zero chance of being granted that request. Preferred location can and does sell out, so again, you might have zero chance at that. King-size bed definitely sells out at times, so hopefully you actually reserved and paid for that one.
When you look at a map of CBR, you'll see that maybe half the rooms in Martinique 25 are water view, but very few of the 24 and 26 rooms are.
I hope all that I've written here makes sense to you. I'm hoping you don't get your hopes up for getting everything you want. Is it possible? Sure! Mathematically speaking, there must be at least a few rooms that meet all three of your criteria, and if you have one of them reserved, you have just as good a chance as anyone else. But the odds are very much stacked against you.
Choose which of those 3 "upgrades" is the most important to you. Reserve and pay for (and thus guarantee) the one that's most important to you, and request the other 2.
GOOD LUCK!
