BluexMoon Posted March 8, 2005 Author #26 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Our one and only cruise experience to date (there will be more):Paradise out of Long Beach, 4 day cruise. Booked in March for a Sept cruise - booked a 4a Gty. Rec'd doc's about 6 weeks out, perhaps a little less. Rooms was on the docs, an upgrade to the top deck but still inside. Had a great time. Does booking through Carnival PVP or local TA make any difference? We used a local TA, and at one point after the cruise we were discussing what we liked and didn't like about the trip (There was a problem with one of the hotels). I commented on the upgrade, and said something to the effect of "Thank you if you had anything to do with it". She just smiled and nodded. I'll do the Gty again next cruise (sometime in 2006) - like someone else said it's more money for the bar bill. Do you still have the capers from the 4 day cruise?

pittypat Posted March 12, 2005 #29 Share Posted March 12, 2005 We sailed on the legend in January 2005 and received my documents about 30 days out. Room assignment on sign and sail showed and extended balcony on Panarama. That room assignment lasted about a week and when I went in to try and purchase a gift is when I found out that was not my room assignment. Moral of the story is don't believe that the room number on your sign and sail is fail proof because I am proof it does change. Happy sailing, pittypat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kywildcat Posted March 18, 2005 #33 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Booked 4A Gty.'s (riveria deck) in Jan. for 4/28 cruise. Checked our carnival profile everyday until it went from TBA to showing rooms on the Empress deck. The assignment showed up at 50 days. We still have inside cabins but are more than happy with them cause our location is great! Not to mention they kept all 5 cabins together. From what I have heard that is not always done. My first gty. we didn't find out til we got to the pier. Went from a 6A to 6C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmer_steph Posted March 23, 2005 #35 Share Posted March 23, 2005 We're leaving in 38 days - Carnival - Holiday - and I just received our cabin assignment yesterday. I booked a guarantee and got exactly what I paid for - no upgrade - but I'm not complaining, I'm just excited to go! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaDeGuadalupe Posted March 23, 2005 #36 Share Posted March 23, 2005 We booked an balcony GTY in Feb. for an April sailing and found out we got an 8I about a month out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breidy Posted March 29, 2005 #37 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I booked a 1A Qty (Inside) in February for an Ectasy 4 day leaving this Thursday, March 31. I have looked on the Modify/Book site for the last couple of weeks without any success. Finally today I thought I'd just call Carnival and see if I had been assigned a room. Sure enough they had my assignment. I can't remember what the class is but it is R163 and from the deck plans it can sleep 4 people. I'm a solo cruiser. Well at least my cabin will be larger.

lbfluffy Posted April 15, 2005 #39 Share Posted April 15, 2005 How do you find out what your cabin # when you have a guarentee? I thought I read somewhere you act like you are buying something, but it asks for a stateroom. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanTex Posted April 15, 2005 #40 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Last time, mine changed 3 times (including 2X after docs. received, from what was on the back of the S&S form), starting at about 60 days out and the last change was less than 2 weeks before sailing.

BluexMoon Posted April 15, 2005 Author #41 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Last time, mine changed 3 times (including 2X after docs. received, from what was on the back of the S&S form), starting at about 60 days out and the last change was less than 2 weeks before sailing. I hope mine changes. Got my docs a couple of days ago. Not happy with my assignment. Still haven't seen anything but GTY on CCL's site. Book/modify or gift methods, both give the same result.

AN123 Posted April 15, 2005 #44 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Booked 4A GTY on Glory (May 21) about 70 days out through a TA. By reading this thread today I followed the instructions to do the "Book/Modify" on Carnival's website and it says as of right now we are assigned a 4F. Today is 36 days before sailing. Thanks for the info on how to do this. I will keep my eye on it now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentinecruiser Posted April 17, 2005 #45 Share Posted April 17, 2005 At the pier! Not a minute before, either! We had 2 cabins and asked that they be somewhat close together, though not necessarily next door....... Our request was granted.......the cabins were in the same area, just a few doors apart. We didn't like not knowing our cabin numbers in advance, but in the end, it really didn't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenConley Posted April 17, 2005 #46 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I just found out mine today for a June 05 sailing by using the gift method. I booked an 8a balcony guartnee and got an upgrade to the Panorama Deck 10 and room 1027. This is my first cruise and I am so excited about this location. Has anyone had this room before.

SS Strider Posted April 20, 2005 #50 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I'm going to force myself to stop checking Book Modify every ten minutes! We booked a 6A GTY on Sensation, and I guess we'll find out on Saturday! Ahoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
