BaileyandBella Posted February 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi all.... I am already booked, but hoping to move my cabin closer to my kids cabin. Nothing has opened up in weeks. Final payment is soon, just wondering if cabins usually open up, or if most people end up cruising :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted February 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi all.... I am already booked, but hoping to move my cabin closer to my kids cabin. Nothing has opened up in weeks. Final payment is soon, just wondering if cabins usually open up, or if most people end up cruising :) Thanks It's very common for cabins to open up once it's final payment time. For my upcoming cruise, it appeared sold out for weeks, and then once we were past final payment, there were cabins available in almost every category. Good luck!!

sail7seas Posted February 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2016 There are always some people who do not make final payment. Call your Cruise Line often the days just before final payment is due. If you have a TA, request they assist in determining if there are any cabins that would interest you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted February 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If any TA's have unsold cabins that they've been holding, they turn them back over to the cruise line after the final payment date. The day after final payment date is your best time to check.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day after final payment date is your best time to check.;) Actually for some cruise lines, you must notify them of cancellation the day before final payment is due or you can be penalized as notifying them during penalty period. I strongly suggest contacting the cruise line starting two days prior to final payment and then repeatedly during the next several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileyandBella Posted February 12, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have just been going into their website each day (as if to make a new booking)......is calling a better option, or are their websites always current? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You just never know. Keep following up with the cruise line. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have just been going into their website each day (as if to make a new booking)......is calling a better option, or are their websites always current? I have found RCI's website to be very current...within minutes (or seconds) of me changing cabins, the cabin that I gave up was showing as available.

paul929207 Posted February 12, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You may want to talk to your TA/cruise line about being put on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If you originally booked through a TA or online agency, they have to make the calls for you. So have him/her keep checking for you. After final payment, many cruise lines start to assign cabins for people who booked guarantee cabins.

BaileyandBella Posted February 12, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted February 12, 2016 A cabin opened this morning and I jumped on it. Not as close as I wanted, but it's better than it was. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted February 12, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 12, 2016 And if you ask to be put on the waitlist, let them know if you want to be waitlisted for a particular type of cabin or would be willing to take anything. For instance, some people might not be willing to sail in an inside cabin and others would not want to pay for a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 12, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2016 A cabin opened this morning and I jumped on it. Not as close as I wanted, but it's better than it was. :) Congratulations. Happy you have gotten a cabin located closer to where you want. Who knows but another even better could still free up. Thank you for letting us know the 'update'. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
