cruisencrazy Posted April 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2014 We booked an outside guarantee on the Maasdam for the April 22 sailing. Can't wait to see what we get. When did you get your cabin assignments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted April 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2014 17 days out. You should be getting yours soon. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted April 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2014 You will likely see it closer to 10 days out or you could get it at the pier. One hint, pretend you are printing your luggage tags. It will show up there as soon as it's assigned. It tales about a day later to populate the reservations side. Goog luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paris182 Posted April 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I am a guarantee reservation for an inside on the Veendam, May 1. While I was told I will get the cabin a week before I wondered if that is really true. Also I wondered what were the chances of getting a better cabin than I booked?

G&G Posted April 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Cabin assignments usually happen less than 14 days prior to sailing. I had an unusual thing just happen. We booked an Inside Guarantee on a South Pacific cruise departing this Tuesday. We received our Cabin assignment 10 days ago. Today we just got another notice that we received another Cabin upgrade three days prior to sailing. Has anyone experienced this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruz chic Posted April 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thanks. Have you ever heard of a double upgrade ? Yes it's happened to me twice....but that is in 300 days so not great odds. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was told I will get the cabin a week before I wondered if that is really true. Also I wondered what were the chances of getting a better cabin than I booked? Thanks Paris182 We also had an inside guarantee on Veendam (lowest price cabin). Our cabin was assigned about 5 days out but it was worth the wait -- we were upgraded to an outside! Hope you have a similar surprise..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted April 13, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks. Have you ever heard of a double upgrade ? Yes, happened to us a couple of times, several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold252 Posted April 13, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 13, 2014 We were on the Veendam in Feb. We received our cabin assignment 10 days out. We had a BB guarantee and got an A. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyeilis Posted April 13, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I'm nervous for my MIL! She's cruising May 10 and has a verandah guarantee (can't remember the exact category). I'm keeping track of it all, and she was emailed an offer to upgrade to a suite or the Neptune Suite for something that would be a decent price...if that were possible to do. We ignored it...hoping everyone else offered it will too, and they end up bumping her up. :) I know, dream on. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyCTtravelcouple Posted April 13, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I was told not to expect my cabin assignment until 3 days out at the earliest, and maybe the day of. Maybe that's the standard thing one is told, but it sounds like a shorter timeframe than what I'm hearing. Wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catl331 Posted April 13, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks. Have you ever heard of a double upgrade ? Yes, on the N.A. in 2010. Booked an H gty, assigned a C 11 days out, reassigned to V at 3 days out. DBiL/DSiL on same cruise also booked H gty, assigned an E at 11 days, reassigned to VE at 3 days. It was our 11th HAL cruise, their first. I was told not to expect my cabin assignment until 3 days out at the earliest, and maybe the day of. Maybe that's the standard thing one is told, but it sounds like a shorter timeframe than what I'm hearing. Wonder why?Only once in 15 cruises did we get our initial assignment later than 7 days out. If your TA told you this, I think they just don't want to be pestered if the assignment is later than the usual 12 to 7 days.

cruisencrazy Posted April 15, 2014 Author #22 Share Posted April 15, 2014 We sail on the 22nd of April and no assignment yet. I suppose this is part of the adventure. I usually book a guarantee and this is the longest I have waited to be assigned a cabin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudiK Posted April 18, 2014 #24 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Booked an H guarantee for the May 17th sailing on the Westerdam to Alaska Had been checking my account daily and hoping something better would turn up and was prepared to wait until just before I left for a cabin assignment Got an email today from my TA about an upsell to a V category cabin for $99/pp Got a VA midship Deck 5 starboard! Pretty happy,think I did OK I am a first time cruiser to HAL(actually went on a Med cruise in 2000 but couldn't locate my mariner number so was a first timer in their eyes) and a Seattle area resident I wonder if that combo did it?
