NCL Epic, Balcony guarantee, already assigned hull cabin??

[bcco]

A couple of months ago I grabbed great deal for a balcony guarantee cabin on a transatlantic next April. I just logged onto my NCL account and it looks like they have already assigned us cabin 8008??? This is one of the so called hull cabins because the balcony (no bigger than usual) is enclosed is steel sheeting with just a small opening to protect from the elements in the bow of the ship, instead of the usual plexiglass bottom and open top.

 

I know that with a guarantee cabin you have to be okay with whatever you are assigned in that category, and I am. I'm just wondering if this was usual for us to already have a cabin assigned when we are still 9 months away from the cruise and six months from full payment. Is it likely to change after the full payment date?, can I request another cabin in the same category when we are closer to time? Any advice is appreciated.

I would post this on the NCL Board.
