goodycruising Posted August 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Great to hear you got a cabin you are happy with! Nice to know what you have been allocated. We have only done guarantee once before and we found out at the boarding. We have now done another guarantee and I know I will be looking all the time to see if we have been allocated. Good on you!

lizzy77 Posted August 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Isn't it amazing how you got an upgrade with a US TA, straight away. Same happened to us and we have never had an upgrade booking here:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkmw Posted August 28, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 28, 2014 on the US princess boards they talk about getting 48 hours to take an upgrade or refuse it, we dont seem to get that chance here...every upgrade we have had with p&o or princess its been put on the personalizer and we've had to cop it sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No notification, it just appears on your personaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 28, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Hasn't happened to me so cannot comment whether the cabin change is optional or not. But as the OP booked a gaurantee cabin this was the fist cabin offered so it is not like they can refuse it.:D Edited August 28, 2014 by MicCanberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted August 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2014 the only thing with a guarantee you can finish up anywhere, if you're not fussed where you sleep you should be ok Guarantees are by grade, so you'll get at least the grade that you booked as a minimum. E.g. book an oceanview guarantee and you won't end up inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodycruising Posted August 28, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 28, 2014 the only thing with a guarantee you can finish up anywhere, if you're not fussed where you sleep you should be ok Yay we got allocated a C3 on sky deck, forward section, not too far from the elevators...I am fussy, and I was nervous, but I am now happy that I also have my allocation. That was quick, and I booked direct on the aussie site. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinman66 Posted August 28, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2014 You quite often can request direct with cruise line a cabin change on a guarantee As long as it is in same category they usually couldn't care less I just did that on my next cruise in fact as preferred a different location Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieflyer Posted August 28, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Well done - hope it sticks. I've had a few upgrades - last cruise was from Guarantee inside to Sheltered balcony on QM2 - very sweet.

Aussieflyer Posted August 28, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I was beside myself to have that upgrade -not sure why it came through but I was not complaining at all, especially as I was a solo passenger and had booked during the super sale. It was cheaper for me to cancel the existing booking, lose the deposit and rebook under the sale, so the upgrade was the icing on the cake so to speak.

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 28, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Now that is what I call an upgrade! Yeah, hope we get one like that, except we booked a balcony and I doubt we will end up in a suite. Here is hoping:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelwingsflys Posted August 29, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Glad it worked out. What did you end up with on deck 10. Inside, balcony? Hi Woodyren, Inside mid ship deck 10,(just across from the Royal Suites ),maybe I will be moved again ,but happy on an inside ,I expected to be on deck 4 down in the dungeons ,for the price I ended up paying .

Here is hoping:D You never know your luck in a big city :) We had that on Azamara and so did another Australian couple we became friends with. Suspect that they were targeting Aussies as they were a pretty new line to be marketed to Australians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
