See below T&CS from Universal website regarding Deluxe rooms. What gets me is that the King which is on sale with TR is allowing bookings for 2 adults and 2 or 3 children but states maximum occupancy at 3. I can only assume we'll be put in a 2 queen room?

*Floor plans may vary. Maximum occupancies may require a rollaway at $25 plus tax per day. Only one rollaway is allowed per room. King rooms have bedding for 2, require a rollaway for 3. Double queen rooms have bedding for 4, require a rollaway for 5. Available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional charges apply for more than 2 adult guests per room.

Thank you for finding that! As TR price only comes up with 2A 2C I don’t think I’ll risk it, as it doesn’t show with 2A 3C.
I was happy with the booking I already have until I saw this thread lol

Very good find. Just had a look at netflights to compare prices, and the price pp is showing as £671 for 7 nights, so be prepared for an argument at check in everyone, especially if there are more than 2 adults in the room: it appears to be a glitch.

I did a live chat to question this. We are 2 adults/ 2 children(4 and 10) and would prefer 2 beds. The live chat said to put it in special request box. Which is what i did

I was also happy with my orginal booking ( RPRclub same dates £1500 via expedia) but couldnt pass this price up.

I might just contact Universal directly and ask them outright?

The voucher is what you’ve booked, it’s whether Universal will check you’re lying / in breach or not.

I’m not sure what you can ask Universal directly given the circumstances?

I booked a similar deal for a 10 night stay in February 2019 with kenwood travel and I checked the price for portofibo bay on travel republic and it was the same price. However hours later kenwood rang and informed me it was a glitch and I cancelled the booking as the price shown dshoukd have been per person not total price. When I checked travel republic later the price had indeed changed! I suspect your bookings may get cancelled but I’m hoping they don’t x good luck

You don’t all need to be there at check in anyway. I don’t know of any hotel that checks the ages of kids.

Im going to keep my RPR booking until im 100% sure😣 i wonder what happened to the TR customers in your example. I would think that if the customer had paid then the booking should be honoured by TR? Anyone else got experience of glitches...

[mossyflossy]

It all depends, some get honoured, some don't, but yes you are wise to keep the original booking until you know for sure...this is an obvious glitch, after all. Good luck.
