tropicbird Posted October 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2013 My only experience with guarantee cabins has been with RCCL, who generally (but not always) assign guarantee cabins soon after final payment has been made. Can anyone comment on how Carnival's timing for guarantee cabin assignment works? I'd love for it to be before the no-refund date, but I suspect it won't be :-) TIA!

elliair Posted October 8, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Sometimes your cabin assignment can go clear up until you check in. Our last guarantee showed up about 3 weeks before sailing date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samiam0403 Posted October 8, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2013 It really can be any time up until arrival at the port. I usually do guarantees for short, cheap cruises - the last one I had my assignment a few weeks before sailing, and the one before that I didn't get an assignment until I showed up at the pier. Luckily, both were excellent cabins on quiet decks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted October 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2013 One day after you book or one day before sailing.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyDAC Posted October 9, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2013 We got ours about a month before our sail date - the same time I noticed Inside cabins weren't coming up as an option for 3 people any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted October 9, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2013 As noted above, it could be anytime from day 1, until you arrive at the port. It's my opinion that USUALLY, the later the assignment, the better your chance of a good upgrade. When I've had the cabin assigned at the port, the upgrade has always been EXCELLENT! :cool: Good Luck! "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
