able58 Posted February 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi, regulars probably know when you get to Carnivals' cabin selection page you are given a set number of cabins to choose from ... is there a way to choose a particular cabin? I have a list of the ones I'd "love" to choose but none are on the website as available ... is there a secret way to do it? Or do we just get what we get? Thanks.

There would probably be more Carnival experts to help if you post here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 29, 2016 As mentioned, I would post this but also any carnival question on the Carnival Board. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteTraveler Posted February 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The solution is to call Carnival on the phone and request the cabins you are interested in. Either they are available or they are not, but calling is the only way you will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Charlie Posted February 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 29, 2016 True. Carnival is the only one that has full access to all open cabins. When I book through a TA I give them a list of cabins in preference. They contact Carnival and get back to me. If I phone Carnival direct they can tell me straight away if my preferred cabin is available. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always ask for my cabin selection and she can tell me if it's available or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy42 Posted March 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 2, 2016 On any cruise - make sure that there are cabins above and below you. You don't want public areas, with their associated noise, below and especially above you. We had a cove balcony on the Dream and there was a lot of moving of items (dragged along the floor) on deck 3. Also - some balcony cabins on the top deck may not have a covered balcony.

able58 Posted March 3, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks guys ... I was looking at inside cabins with french doors and was hoping to get one with a 'view' between the boats ... we ended up getting a balcony cabin on Empress Deck after all that. Thanks again.

teknoge3k Posted March 3, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Just curious, don't shoot me... This particular forum is "ask a cruise question" which implies you ask a cruise question on this forum.... When people come here to ask questions, why do users say "well maybe you should ask on X forum rather than here"... If that's the case, why is this forum here?

Bonnie J. Posted March 3, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Often the large on line cruise booking companies (Can't name them here) will block a bunch of cabins to sell to their customers so they're not available to others until closer to the sail date. The cabins are then released back to the company so they can be sold to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people come here to ask questions, why do users say "well maybe you should ask on X forum rather than here"... If that's the case, why is this forum here? Often the question is being asked by someone relatively new to the CC boards. While some questions are generic (e.g. "Is there somewhere to see how many ships are in port?") others like the OP's question here are more specific to an individual cruise line. Chances are more people on the Carnival board will see a Carnival specific question than when it is posed in the Ask a Cruise Question board.

Bonnie J. Posted March 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 3, 2016 When I have a question about a cruise ship or line and ask it there, I find I get a much faster and more reply's when I ask it here. I am Carnival Diamond and I rarely go there to look for questions I can answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
