galensgrl Posted January 22, 2016 #276 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sail 4/29 Zaandam, cabin assigned 4/20. First time we have ever booked a "guarantee." Satisfied with result. We have cruised 5 times so far and have always chosen our cabin. This is the first time we have done a guarantee cabin for our upcoming 9 day Atlantic Coast cruise in April/May, and I have been nervous about what we may get assigned to us. It's good to hear others have had satisfactory cabin assignments when going the guarantee route. We booked the highest category Verandah Suite, and I have my fingers crossed for a Neptune Suite upgrade. I've heard the chances are good that may happen. If not we will be happy with a Verandah Suite, as that is what we have booked. Fingers crossed though lol :D Lorie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sail tomorrow and were assigned an SS Signature Suite yesterday for our SZ guarantee. HAPPY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawk66 Posted January 27, 2016 #278 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I originally booked an inside guarantee and in two steps was upgraded to a VD guarantee. I received stateroom assignment today and with the help of my TA I changed staterooms twice and settled on VA5051, a slanted balcony stateroom near the forward elevators. The move from inside to veranda cost me $35 in ship board credit! I'm a happy cruiser and can't wait to board the plane to Auckland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisemama5 Posted May 31, 2016 #282 Share Posted May 31, 2016 We are on the same cruise, and we got ours last week. Was hoping for a better upgrade, but its ok. My dad decided to go with us and he just booked on Friday, so he doesn't have an assignment. Hoping he will be somewhat close to us, as he is older and it would be a lot easier, but doubting that he will be since he booked so late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masters101 Posted May 31, 2016 #283 Share Posted May 31, 2016 We figured we would have a room assignment by now. We have read some people have no room assignment until the day of sailing. Cruise mama what was your room guarantee? We have a HH guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemama5 Posted May 31, 2016 #284 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The lowest they have, I think N. We just paid the bottom price. They upped us to K. So we are up one floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely other Posted May 31, 2016 #288 Share Posted May 31, 2016 My in-laws got a K inside after booking an N inside guarantee ... Sailing on 19th June. This seemed quite early to us as it's always been about one week before when we got ours. Still waiting for our new cabin assignment .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sil82 Posted June 1, 2016 #290 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hi everyone, we are going on the cruise with the Eurodam on 23rd june from Venice to Barcelona. We booked a verandah guarantee stateroom. Has anyone got his cabin assignment for this cruise so far? This is our first cruise with HAL (we travelled before with MSC, Royal Caribbean and MeinSchiff), and also our first time with a V.g. stateroom. Before we always booked a normal inside stateroom. We're really looking forward to it. Greetings from Austria :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillK400 Posted June 1, 2016 #293 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Got a VA (had a GTY for a veranda) veranda cabin assignment. Very pleased with the cabin / location. Could have done much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted June 3, 2016 #295 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just got our cabin assigned for our cruise from Seward to Vancouver leaving on June 12th on the Zaandam. We had a FF guarantee ocean view room and was assigned to room 2666. Not sure if it's an upgrade but very excited to receive our room assignment and to be leaving soon!

sammygoose Posted June 8, 2016 #296 Share Posted June 8, 2016 We got our cabin assignment today for our Fjords and Highlands cruise. We went from a DA guarantee to a D cabin. I wasn't expecting much as the cruise has been sold out for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sil82 Posted June 8, 2016 #297 Share Posted June 8, 2016 @sammygoose: When does your cruise begin? I'm sailing 23rd of june with the Eurodam and waiting for my assignment for a guarantee verandah cabin :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammygoose Posted June 9, 2016 #298 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) We got our assignments yesterday afternoon the 7th and we sail on the 18th. Typically we have gotten them 10-12 days out and never had any major upgrades. That being said we've never been unhappy with our guaranteed cabins. My thoughts are- this cruise has been sold out for a long time so I didn't expect a lot if any movement. Also our bookings are linked with others in the same category and each time this has happened we all get the same upgrade and our cabins are close together. We had cabin 4137 on the Eurodam and it was a great cabin if you get it! I posted pics- google: 4137 – Eurodam | HAL Cruiser Information Edited June 9, 2016 by sammygoose add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sil82 Posted June 9, 2016 #299 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Thanks, I think in that case I have to wait a few more days till I get my assignment :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
