dcandme13 Posted February 12, 2015 #201 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Has there ever been a time where you didn't get an assignment by the time you sailed and had to print tags at port with porters?? I recently submitted a request for a price drop, I booked ES in Sept and picked an OV cabin on Empress level (Carnival Inspiration) but yesterday the fare dropped by ALOT! So I called to inquire if I qualified for lower rate, I did and they talked me thru the carnival website to submit the request but because I was paid in full they will be giving me OBC for the difference in fare (Close to $300!!) and change the booking from ES to pack and go and still give us a guaranteed OV cabin of their choice...which is fine with me, I'm a first time cruiser, its only a 3 day cruise and I doubt I'll be spending to much time in room, but I sail March 13th and I'm nervous the switch wont be made in time for me to reprint everything ahead of time. Thoughts?? I did receive an email the same day saying they received my email and they will email again as requests are done in order..blah blah blah...but I feel I may be cutting in close???

cruisegirl29 Posted February 13, 2015 #203 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello, Received an upsell offer. Currently booked on the Carnival Conquest 4/4/25 sailing. Booking date: Jan 2015 Cat: Guarantee Inside Offer view email: Code M6c this week Clicked on offer within 45 min of receiving it & it was no longer available. So I called. Best they could do was a 4C for $40.00 total. I said NO THANK YOU. Does anyone know what the code M6c is? I was thinking oceanview 6c on the main deck. I googled it & it appears to be maybe the port hole rooms? Maybe I'm just reading into it.. LOL Oh well.. I'm still holding out for something better.

KarenMF Posted February 18, 2015 #209 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) OMG! So I'm reading this post for fun because I just booked an Inside Guarantee 3 days ago. I decide to go look at my booking and I have a room!! Date: Booked 02/14/15 Ship: Conquest Class of Guarantee: Inside Cabin Assigned: 8273 - Cat 4G Date Assigned: 02/17/15 The room is closer to mid than forward - just mid of the forward elevators. I love a room right near the elevators. And even though we are on deck 8 under Lido, the cabin is under other cabins!! We are near the open area behind the elevators that looks down on the atrium, but that is 3 floors down. Overall very pleased with my room assignment!

Checking out inside guaranty but afraid my husband and I will end up in the upper/lower twin bed cabin. Does this happen ? Often? Would like to try the gty but scared...I like sleeping in the same bed ! I have the same fear! I booked 2 days ago for a mid April sailing and while I understand they can put me anywhere, I really hope we don't get the upper/lower cabin.

kesham13 Posted February 26, 2015 #213 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Has anyone booked an inside guarantee and not been able to change the bedding configuration until after a cabin has been assigned? I booked on the Valor in May and for some reason on the Carnival website it will not allow me to change the bedding from 2 twins. I don't have a cabin assigned yet, so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitntrip Posted February 26, 2015 #214 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Mine's the same, I'm thinking it's due to not having a room assignment yet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellsd Posted February 27, 2015 #215 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Mine was like that and as soon as they assigned the cabin, they gave me the ability to change the config. Bought my brother an inside guarantee and it was assigned 24 days before the cruise. He is in 1202. I am disappointed that it is all the way on the bottom floor and all the way at the front of the ship as I feel he will have a lot of walking. The only good side is that it seems like it has more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a cabin assigned yet, so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it? Carnival sets all the rooms up with 2 twin beds, once they know who their guest are then they will put those 2 twin bed together and make a king bed. There are a few rooks that can't do this but not many. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisajm Posted February 28, 2015 #221 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Enjoyed this post. DD and I were booked an OV which was a 1A very near the front of the ship for our March 22nd sailing aboard the Splendor. Initially booked for the price. Because its spring break cruises tend to be a little more pricey. But kept looking at the deck plans and to switch to another OV would have been another 250pp. Instead for 300 changed to BL. This was yesterday, so no assignment yet. I did a mock booking and there weren't very many balconies left. So just have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked: Jan 2015 Sailing: April 4th, 2015 Ship: Carnival Conquest Booked: Super Saver Rate Inside Guarantee Assigned: 4(b) Cabin 1318 It's a quad room with Upper Bunks for my DH & I, and two teenage girls.
