Very Bizarre

[BigBrust]

Not sure if this has happened to anyone else before, but here is what happened to me today-

 

I was finishing my on line check in for my 3/26 cruise on the Breeze. When completed, I reviewed everything and noticed something strange- I was in a different cabin # than the one I booked! As of Saturday, I was in cove balcony 2272. I purposely booked that cabin because it was NOT under the galley. As of today, I was switched to cove balcony 2384- directly under the galley! I called carnival to find out what was up. The customer service agent said "oh, yes, I have a note here that your cabin is no longer available due to unforeseen maintenance during your cruise. They left you a voice mail today." Funny- I never got a voicemail about that. IPlanning that far ahead sounds like foreseen maintenance to me! Anyway, I said ok, but I am not going to stay in the cabin you switched me too as it is under the galley. The CSA said "well I only have one more room I can switch you too- another cabin under the galley on the other side of the ship." NOPE!! I said no thanks- I am not staying under the galley under any circumstance. I was put on hold off and on for an hour, finally the CSA came back on and told me that they can switch us to cabin 6270. Directly above my original 2272 I originally booked, but obviously on the Upper deck. My family is happy with the new arrangement, and I thanked the CSA for her help. Although I was looking forward to a cove balcony, I am glad I am no longer under the galley.

Wow, that would be shocking to find your cabin choice has been modified. I have not had that happen to me but it would be interesting to see if it has happened to others. I'm glad it all worked out location-wise (not under galley) and I hope you have a wonderful cruise!

That scenario does sound strange. Good thing you 'caught it' when you did, so that you were able to get a replacement cabin with which your family is satisfied. I got a chuckle from "foreseen maintenance":p, and I also agree with it as a definition for work scheduled that far in advance.

LOL I would go knocking at the door of my original cabin and find out WHO the unforeseen circumstances were... haha!!

[BigBrust]

Oh you can bet I will be checking upon the "maintenance" of that cabin :)

We were on the Fantasy in an OV cabin last March. On the second day we got a note in our cabin that they were replacing the carpet in all the cabins in my area the next port day and we would need to stay out of our cabin between certain hours. In exchange for the trouble they gave us $100 obc. My dad installed carpet for a living so I knew that the new carpet smell in the small cabin would bother me so I went to GS to complain. They put some type of machine in the room to take care of the air quality and it ended up being fine. My point in sharing all this is Im not sure what kind of maintenance they would do in your cabin that required no one to be in it. If new carpet didn't do it.....

Just curious, how many people in your cabin? When we had a cove on Breeze we had four. Do all cove cabin accommodate 4 or are some for 3? Inquiring minds want to know:D

[BigBrust]

The cabin I booked was for 3 passengers. The cabin I was switched to was for 3 passengers. So it wasn't that I was booked in a room for 4, or a handicapped room. I made sure of that when I booked to avoid the chance of being moved.

I'd take the cove under the galley over the deck 6 balcony, there is too much traffic on the lanai. No privacy on deck 6 balconies.

My wife is a light sleeper, as well as my 12 year old daughter. Since I have to deal with that, I'll take the lack of privacy over banging and clanging in the overnight!

I would definitely be taking a walk past that original cabin and there had better not be someone staying in it.

[BigBrust]

Well- if there is- I will just have to make it known to the powers that be that I am not going to go down quietly!!!!

I did my due diligence as well, making sure that the "powers that be" couldn't move me because they wanted to go to full room occupancy. It's going to be interesting to see what's up with your original room when you board.

On another note, if you like sushi, go have dinner at Bonsai Sushi. The 3-D theatre is worth it, buy the unlimited ticket. Hot tubs outside of casino area are great and hardly ever busy.

If I think of more, I'll let you know:D

[BigBrust]

Thanks momonthego17! When it comes down to it, it is vacation and I will enjoy myself no matter what! It beats this snow up here in NJ. But I will be monitoring cabin 2272 to make sure it is unoccupied [emoji6][emoji23] lol

Happy cruising :)

My thoughts as well.

I read a post a few weeks ago that several of the ships were getting "maintenance in Service " where they take a block of cabins out of service during a cruise and doing upgrades during the cruise, thereby reducing the amount of time the ship is totally out of service during dry dock.

The same thing happened to me just last week only they thought they were doing me a favor.

 

I had booked my favorite cabin for the Bloggers cruise, then much later I decided to book the week before also. My cabin wasn't available on that sailing so I was going to have to change cabins.

 

I went to print my docs last week and they had moved us to a cabin on deck 8 under the Lido galley..........no call, no email, nothing.

 

I called my PVP, told her what happened (she hadn't received a call either), she got it straightened out with an upgrade to a great location and we still won't have to change cabins.

I kind of like that..... If no one is in it then OK if there was........:confused:

[BigBrust]

I really hope that they aren't playing games. If there is maintenance, fine, I can understand that. If someone else is in that cabin- there is going to be one angry guy!!!!!

If you're gonna knock on the door to find out for sure, I suggest either early early like 5 -6AM or late late like midnight 1AM. Many people are early risers and out to breakfast by 7AM or out on shore excursions mid day and quite a few are up late in the clubs and casinos.

 

Also bring a camera/smartphone and if someone does open the door, take a snapshot framed so that it includes their face and the cabin # so you then have irrefutable proof if you need to contact Carnival corporate when you get back and they try to give you a hard time.

And ask them the circumstances of their booking.

Knock on my cabin at 5-6 am and you'll get punched!

 

You could ask the steward if cabin is in use and what maintenance was done.

2384 is also a connecting cabin.
