Fog123 Posted March 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi, I've noticed that the cabin designations are changing on the Volendam before and after April 29th or thereabouts. Our cabin, which is currently designated an A will be changing to a BC. We've been charged for a BC so I'm not in the least concerned, just curious. Any reason why? Thanks.

jtl513 Posted March 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Any reason why? More income. The majority of the most popular cabins went up in category and therefore up in price. They lowered some of the less popular cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted March 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2014 In case you didn't notice, these re-categorizations are fleet wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinscott Posted March 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I hadn't noticed this, but I just booked a cruise yesterday with a particular cabin in mind and was at first told it had been changed to another catagory, then she stopped herself, and said, "Oh, not yet, it's still in that catagory, but will be changing soon."

Is your cabin going up or down in category and price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinscott Posted March 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Price wasn't mentioned as far as going up or down. I had asked for a specific cabin within a catagory and at first she thought it had already been recatagorized, but then realized it hadn't and that the cabin was available.

arzz Posted March 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I will be curious to see what happens on a long time booking with a a category guarantee when the categories change. On a segment of a Grand Cruise all we can get is a category guarantee. So, will they keep the guarantee as is which will essentially be a down grade, or will they automatically upgrade the letter designation? Only time will tell and maybe some negotiation via our TA.
