Can I choose the cabin location if I win a RoyalUp upgrade?
No. RoyalUp upgrades the category, not the exact door number on the deck plan. When an offer is accepted, Royal assigns a cabin in that higher category from whatever inventory is open, which can mean a different deck than you have now and even a slightly obstructed view in a view category. You are trading up the room type, not picking the perfect midship quiet corner yourself. If a specific location matters more than the upgrade, keep the cabin you already chose at booking.
- Royal assigns the upgraded cabin from available inventory in that category
- Specific location, deck, and features are not yours to select
- You may end up on a lower deck than your original cabin
- View categories can still include slightly obstructed views
