netorders Posted March 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi All- Thought I toss this out to the experienced cruise crowd. It has been probably asked before, however, each situation/ship is slightly different. We gave up a Mid ship Baja Balcony BD during the latest sale for a BA Guar on the CP for the 5/14 sailing around the UK. 1) Right decision? 2) Time frame for new assignment? 3) What should we expect? 4) Can we refuse cabin if we get a dud? Never been in this situation before. Went on TA advice. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nojoke Posted March 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2012 sorry I can't relate any experiences--but a BA balcony has got to be in a better location than BD--personally, I don't care where I am as long as it is in a balcony--I think you did the right thing! Bet it will be a lovely surprise. Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we are hoping for a lovely surprise, IE the infamous mini suite upgrade that the upgrade fairy grants now and then ! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 29, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2012 1. Doesn't matter you have decided. 2. Up until day of sailing. 3. BA cabin. You are most likely to get one of the lesser cabins in this category as they are the ones that have not been scooped up. 4. Sure. However, since you will be in for a significant penalty, you may want to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted March 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There are few differences, if any, between balconies or cabins on the CP (Sea Princess) other than deck location. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserdru Posted March 30, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I believe it's the Caribbean Princess (which I also want to call the CP before I stop and think) doing the UK on 5/14. There are BAs forward on Lido and of course, midship on Caribe with the larger balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netorders Posted April 1, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well just found out by logging into MyPrincess then got an email booking update the next day. Caribe midship BA C422. Not bad, not great. Cross the hall cabins, elevator bank near by. Larger 1/2 covered balcony with this cabin. We will go with the flow. No m-s cabin this round. Pj & Dog -- we will see you @ M&G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see what the code is by going to the Princess website, clicking on Ships, and click on a ship name. The code is in the URL. This is so someone doesn't get confused by the abbreviation CP which someone could use for the Caribbean Princess (CB), Coral Princess (CO), Crown Princess (KP) or Sea Princess (CP). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted April 1, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I see one BA cabin forward Lido still available, but I think you did ok with your upgrade.:) I'm still waiting. dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
