richarduk Posted July 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I booked a balcony guarantee on Nieuw Amsterdam for the first time last week for travel 6 weeks time in the Med. I know there is no accurate rule as to when cabin assignments are made, but I do have a specific question: Are cruises that are FULL likely to allocated guarantees earlier or later? As my cruise is a summer departure from Venice, it's likely to be very full. Our last one was at 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted July 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Are cruises that are FULL likely to allocated guarantees earlier or later? No. Our assignment for the N.A. came at 11 days out, and the ship was sold out 3 months before. (This was the inaugural season, 2010). Before they can do assignments on your cruise they must take care of the ones before you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richarduk Posted July 13, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Do you mind if I ask what category you booked and what you got allocated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted July 13, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Do you mind if I ask what category you booked and what you got allocated?I booked H guarantees for ourselves and my DB and DSiL. At 11 days out we were given a C and them an E. At 3 days out we were re-assigned to V8057 and them to VE5122. Biggest upgrade we ever got!

sail7seas Posted July 13, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Almost all HAL sailings go out full. We have read of a few exceptions but as a rule, there are few if any empty cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
