Royal Caribbean Passenger Says They Were MISLED!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
A passenger expresses significant frustration with Royal Caribbean following their first cruise booking experience. The individual booked a cabin on the Star of the Seas by speaking directly with a phone agent. During the booking process, the passenger requested a true balcony cabin. The passenger claims the agent identified an infinite balcony as a true balcony and provided a photo alongside the booking confirmation to support this description. However, upon conducting further research, the passenger discovered that an infinite ocean view balcony functions primarily as a window that opens rather than a traditional outdoor balcony space. The passenger describes the experience as being misled and characterizes the situation as a bait and switch. This dissatisfaction is compounded by the realization that securing a genuine balcony requires a higher financial investment than the cabin they originally selected.

Creator's Key Takeaways
They booked the Star of the Seas directly through a Royal Caribbean phone agent and said they wanted a true balcony cabin.
The agent told them an infinite balcony was a true balcony and even sent them a photo with their booking confirmation.
A spacious infinite ocean view balcony is essentially just a window that opens and not a traditional balcony.
Now they feel they were misled, even calling it a bait and switch, especially after learning that a real balcony will cost more money.
