arizonagal15 Posted March 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2013 We have a btb starting Sunday, 3/10/13 and booked a guarantee VF. We have not received our cabin as yet and getting nervous we will be in the stewards closet. Traveling on the ms. Amsterdam to the Caribbean. Is this a regular occurrence?

Randyk47 Posted March 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2013 We have a btb starting Sunday, 3/10/13 and booked a guarantee VF. We have not received our cabin as yet and getting nervous we will be in the stewards closet. Traveling on the ms. Amsterdam to the Caribbean. Is this a regular occurrence? Not unusual. Some folks, maybe even most, get their guarantee assignment a couple of weeks out but some don't find out their cabin until they get to the cruise terminal. Personally I've never booked a guarantee so have no experience so I can't say if it's better to get it earlier or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted March 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If you have a VF guarantee, you are on the ms Nieuw Amsterdam and not the ms Amsterdam - two different ships. :) And the Amsterdam is not sailing in the Caribbean at the moment. Don't worry, you will not be in a steward's closet; you will be in at least a balcony cabin (that is the guarantee part ;) ). Final cabin assignment could happen as late as when you check in.

For some reason cabin assignments sometimes show up there before in your reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublebzz Posted March 4, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have twice received my assignment at the pier and have been pleasantly surprised with the upgrade. In my case, the later the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted March 4, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Check your luggage tags. For some reason cabin assignments sometimes show up there before in your reservations. Yes, for some strange reason it takes about an extra day to populate the reservations side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted March 4, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I wonder if having a back to back delays your cabin assignment - I would think they would try to get you in the same cabin for both weeks, and may have to wait on the other info for week #2.

djhsolara Posted March 4, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Maybe good things are going to happen for you. We are sailing this Saturday and just got our assignment last week...and then got a nice upsell offer that we took. We basically ended up paying the same for both of us that the stateroom is listed for one person.

Seago2 Posted March 4, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2013 My guarantee experience has been that the later I get the assignment the better it is. Fingers crossed for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
