simba_o Posted October 2, 2014 #151 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Simba, do you have an assignment yet? I booked a BX and was assigned yesterday to a BA on Deck 11 so I'm pretty happy. Just over 5 weeks to go.... Got our assignment on Tuesday so 5 days pre-cruise. We got a BC on deck 11. It's way at the front starboard side but for the price we paid I cannot complain. In less than 3 days I'll be sitting on that balcony looking at Lady Liberty :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffd64 Posted October 2, 2014 #152 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Unless I missed it (possible, because I don't read every little thing NCL emails me), I didn't get any email that my cabin was assigned and my docs were ready. I just happened to notice both on routine checks online. I'd keep an eye out if I were you instead of waiting to be notified, if you're eager to know. Being that I will be checking nearly every other day anyway until I can print my docs, either way will work for me :) Not much will escape my compulsive watch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottogetaway2 Posted October 3, 2014 #154 Share Posted October 3, 2014 We are 8 days out from our Getaway cruise and finally got our assignment. We have 5 people in our family, 3 young kids and we wanted to do this cruise on a budget so we booked one of our 3 kids in a family members cabin. Well, we just got our cabin assignment and we have a family ocean view on deck 5, so all 5 of us will be in one cabin after all :) Not only did we get a ocean view that holds 5 but it is the Handicap accessible cabin and from what I have read it is over 500 sq feet, so I am a happy camper, our gamble paid off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenny105 Posted October 5, 2014 #157 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Woke up this morning to an email from NCL that our documents were ready to print. Got our assignment! We booked an IX and ended up with an ID on deck 8. I'm happy with the location because we're close to all the restaurants, bars, and entertainment. 42 days out!

Son of a son of a ... Posted October 5, 2014 #158 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We booked the Getaway for October 11, 2014. We booked at $779 per for a BC category cabin (13th deck), plus $50 OBC per. I noticed a price drop after final payment and called my Internet TA. We were able to switch to a GTY suite for $719 per - the TA put the balance of money back on our credit card. We lost the OBC. Around September 10th, we received a cabin assignment for an M3 category on deck 12. I called the TA last week and asked for the price to upgrade to a spa suite because I saw two still available. I was quoted $600 per. I'd love to do it, but not this cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardK Posted October 6, 2014 #159 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Is there an advantage to paying $25 more for a BD than BX (I realize it eliminates the chance of having one of the officially designated BX's. At that point, is it worth it to pay $12 more for a BC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffd64 Posted October 12, 2014 #160 Share Posted October 12, 2014 47 days out and we were assigned our cabins on the Getaway 11/29/14 trip... Went from BX to BC on deck 13... not bad I guess :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famprovost Posted October 12, 2014 #161 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We got our assignment on friday for the Getaway 11/29 and we got a BC on the 11th floor... quite good since we were booked in two cabins and we got cabins right next to each other.... For the price we paid for our bx, it's never been anywhere close since.... Even the biggest drop was 100$ over what we paid and we got a 50$ obc... So all in all we can't complain! :) Martine Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottogetaway2 Posted October 19, 2014 #163 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Hi, let us know how handicap cabin is on Getaway, husband and l will be traveling on May 2. 2015, we are booked on balcony but curious on handicap size. Have a wonderful trip.Azdad3 Sent from my KFTT using Forums mobile app The size of the Handicap cabin was awesome, 545 sq. feet, tons of storage for clothes and a big bathroom/shower. The only issue with the layout was there is no counter space or shelves to put stuff on in the bathroom, just a sink and a large mirror. We actually only spent one night in 5138 (ocean view) because there is a HUGE noise issue with this cabin. 1st, there is a crew galley right above you that they use for the Illusionarium so from 10 pm-12:30 am every night there is tons of banging, and really loud noises. Then there is a pillar in this room and when the ship is moving it makes a LOT of creaking/popping sounds. It was way too loud to sleep even with ear plugs. I called to inquire about where the noises where coming from and without even asking, they said they would move us into two inside connecting cabins on deck 12. Even though we had to give up our ocean view and tons of space we did it so we could get some sleep the next 6 nights! It was a good move as the cabins on deck 12 were so quite and our kids got their own cabin/bathroom.

Heni1805 Posted October 22, 2014 #164 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It is really so different each time with the assignment. For our tour on BA we booked an BX first and got the assignment directly after the booking with a BC on Deck 13. A few days ago, after the prices dropped here in Germany we upgraded to a MX and are waiting for the assignment this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Clark Posted October 27, 2014 #166 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I recently received my room number 10139 for the Epic December 7th sailing. I am not sure if that is a good location or not. It is on the mid starboard. Does anyone know if this is a good spot?

Tee & Chilli Posted November 9, 2014 #167 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Six days to sailing and no cabin assignment. There's so set time when NCL assigns guarantees. What I do know is that I'm guaranteed a place to sleep.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilou00 Posted November 10, 2014 #168 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I bought a B2B in July 2014 for a cruising January 24th, 2015. I received my cabin number 5840 in august before the final payment in november, but nothing for the second week. Really unlucky to had this cabin, only two with this category OX throughout the vessel. I look forward to receiving my cabin for the second week. Someone he already had the 5840 deck 5 Oceanview category OX? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare monkey@cruise Posted November 11, 2014 #172 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Did you received your cabin number before and after final payment an upgradeThanks No, the cabin assignment was after final payment and it was a higher category than we thought we would ever get. The cabin is close to mid-ship and we are pretty happy with it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
