when should our cabin be allocated

[carmel40]

Hi, we are booked on Oriana, set to sail 17th March, We have booked an early saver around 8 weeks ago, and are still waiting on our cabin to be allocated. Does anyone know when this should be?

 

Thanks in advance.

No set date of X amount of days before sailing but should be anytime now.

Indeed, but seems to be a couple of weeks or so in practice, though not guaranteed obviously. Is likely to vary depending on how full the cruise is - if they push late deals out it may change.

We are 3 weeks away from departing, heard nothing yet.

 

Do they email to say they have allocated or should I be checking CP every day?

[themanwithahat]

From memory they email you. I shouldn't worry about it too much, as long as your paperwork is in order, you can get on the travel personaliser and so on, should be no problem.

Have just checked. I got emailed a PDF "Cabin Allocation AZURA <ref>" which gives cabin, room details, final invoice etc.

 

It was emailed me on 7th October 2014 for a cruise departing on 25th October 2014.

 

Obviously this was just this one, but I've got the impression that this is about normal, so I would expect yours RSN - maybe contact P&O if you get nothing 7 days beforehand ?

Incidentally you might want to keep half an eye on your spam folder - sometimes messages get put in there.

I would not bank on them sending out an email. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I would just keep on checking your CP.

We didnt get an email for our cruise in January on Ventura appeared in cruise personaliser about 2 weeks before - just keep checking

[newbieafloat]

I've not received any emails yet, but the CP started showing a cabin number a couple of days ago - roughly 26 days prior to sail date

Just keep checking the cruise personaliser. We didn`t get an email for our cruise at the end of January.

Are you on Ventura too - cos our cabin showed up on CP a couple of days ago too roughly 26 days prior to sail date?

I certainly am :D

I certainly am :D

 

Was these allocations for a saver fare, as I am sailing in less than 4 weeks but don't expect my cabin number until 2 weeks before.:eek:

I'm on a bit of a non-standard package with being a solo cruiser, but not in a solo (single berth) cabin. I believe mine is technically classed as an early saver deal which is different to a saver

Thanks, When we booked an early saver it was 4 weeks before but our previous 2 savers have been 2 weeks. I will just have to be a bit patient.:D

Enjoy your cruise.

We are on Ventura in 26 days, just looked and ours hasn't been allocated yet. We booked at the beginning of January.

Were you Early saver or saver.

If early saver you should get your cabin any day but if it is saver it is normally around 2 weeks before.:eek:

You don't want to be waiting 26 days... we'll have already sailed a few days before ;)

Oh sorry meant 22 days.

 

Yes we booked a saver so hopefully will get cabin end of next week.

Ours was Early Saver - booked back in November. Cabin allocated a few days ago. Midship - so I'm pleased. Saver fares normally get me at extreme ends of ships.

Yes, I have done 2 saver cruises and been right at the front, so expecting my cabin at the end of March to be in a similar position.:eek:
