smithdaoh Posted December 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Has anyone booked at an instant saver rate and had their cabin assigned yet? I was wondering what kind of cabins Carnival is putting people in and are they doing it based on when you booked or maybe based on your VIFP points.

The4Cruisers Posted December 31, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'm curious about this as well. For the cruise we're looking at, I'm not sure whether to go with Instant Saver for an O/V stateroom OR should we spend more money to pick our cabin with 2 category upgrade? Also, this will be our 10th cruise which will get us to Platinum. I wonder if that will come into play with the cabin assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgetrucksrule Posted December 31, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I used to book guaranteed cabins – and usually got a great cabin. But with so many rates getting upgrades and Carnival no longer giving cabin assignment on guaranteed until arrival at port – I am thinking that they will no longer be worth it. But this is just my opinion – I have not booked one since the rates changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is just my opinion – I have not booked one since the rates changed. I book guarantee a lot and have never been assinged a cabin at the pier. Also, being platinum has never got us anything special as far as an upgrade and we've been platinum for a long time. Only been upgraded once and that was on RCCL.

We are sailing on Magic on 1-20-13 and on Christmas Day my dh called and upgraded us to "the cheapest balcony possible" which ended up being instant saver. We had our cabin assignment when I checked the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to decide to either give up my cove for the OBC with the instant saver or just stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
