Monarch Deck 2 aft question

Ok my husband and I booked our first cruise for May 11 on Monarch of the Seas. I think we chose a bad cabin though. DH said he didn't really care where it was, so of course I decided on the cheaper route and chose deck 2. But the only rooms left on Deck 2 were in the aft. Our room is like 2641 I believe. Why were these last rooms the only ones left? Is it because they are the farthest from "the action" or is there something physically wrong with them? Is it going to be loud right there?

Also, If I wanted to change my cabin, how do I do so? Do I have to call them?

Ok,seeing as this is your first cruise,I would suggest spending a few more dollars and move up to a category L...........these are the inside cabins on deck 4.........and pick on that is not too far up front.................also,if money is not that much a problem,go for an oceanview..................I would stick with the cabins mid ship(not too far forward or too far aft)...........less motion,

You can change your cabin by calling your travel agent ,if you used one OR call RCCL directly(if you booked thru them)............You have up to 70 days before to make any changes with paying a penalty.

Your cabin was probably one of the last picked because it is on deck 2 aft.........Reason I dont like deck 2,ep on Monarch is when you get to your ports, the lines for disembarkation line up on that deck............pain in the neck trying to get thru all the people if you want to go to another deck..

Ok thanks! I looked on deck 4 and the only rooms available were the ones at the very very front of the ship so I said no! haha I did call and change our room to Deck 3 mid ship though! This should be much better than bottom aft!

Actually,there are 3 cabins that are good on deck 4................4083..4085...4587 that are available.....................RCCL's website will not show all of them,but this one does.........

You can do a fake booking just to see whats available.............deck 4 is a great deck........as is 5 and 6.............

And dont forget to see if you get a discount for whatever state you live in and/or miltary rate,if you qualify..........have a feeling you dont qualify for senior rate yet..........and keep checking prices,if they go down,you can get that money back even after final payment(Unless its one of the Tuesday Sales Events--those are for new bookings only)

Oh wow, that's an awesome site! Thanks!

Yes, we got a GA residency rate and military discount. I'm not sure if the discounted price was the residency rate or military discount though haha.
