Can I upgrade my stateroom once I am on board?
Yes, you may be able to upgrade your stateroom while on board, depending on availability.
How the onboard upgrade process works
If you want to upgrade your stateroom, the first thing you need to do is stop by Guest Services once you are on board. Availability is the deciding factor, and it can change as the voyage unfolds. If an upgrade is possible, Guest Services can walk you through eligible stateroom categories, location considerations, and the pricing difference for moving into a new space. Additional charges apply, and upgrades are not guaranteed.
Helpful things to know before you visit Guest Services
Timing matters: Ask about a stateroom upgrade early in your cruise — ideally on embarkation day or within the first 24 hours — when availability is clearer and more options may be open.
Be specific: Share what matters most to you, whether that’s more space, a preferred location, or upgrading to a Verandah stateroom.
Stay flexible: If your first-choice cabin isn’t available, a similar alternative may still elevate your experience.
