TotallyAngelic Posted April 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hi We have 5 weeks until our cruise, and I popped on the website to print off e-tickets etc and it said that I couldn't do it yet as cabin not allocated. Does anyone know when the cabin allocation will happen and I will be able to print off my docs. Thanks :D:confused::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideygirl Posted April 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I think early saver is 5 weeks and saver is 2/3 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stleda124 Posted April 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I think early saver is 5 weeks and saver is 2/3 weeks? There is no set time. It's anywhere from booking to sailing. If you don't have it they say you sail, it will be assigned at port. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilson2579 Posted April 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2016 We have sailed 4 times using the saver fare and each time were allocated our cabin 15 days before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollysailor93 Posted April 10, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I spoke to P&O only last week. I believe the lady said imthey start allocating cabins three weeks before departure and this can csrry on until a week before your departure. I guess it all depends on type of cabin and anticipated further bookings. Weve found out about 18 days before our departure and been given a good cabin. Obviously if you dont hear within the last week give them a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindabodrum Posted April 11, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 11, 2016 RCI have given me cabin number already for October 2017 , wish P and O were as sharp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadgirluk Posted April 11, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 11, 2016 We got our allocation exactly 4 weeks before departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriv Posted April 11, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 11, 2016 RCI have given me cabin number already for October 2017 , wish P and O were as sharp The whole point of Saver Fares is that they are slotted in to what is available after all the other bookings, so will always be allocated later in the day especially if the cabins are still selling at the higher fares.

Skierguy Posted April 11, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2016 First time booking for us and it did state quite clearly it could be at embarkation before we know what cabin we are in so anythjng earlier will be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Girl Posted April 17, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We've always got our allocation on saver 2 weeks before. How do you print your luggage tags if your cabin isn't allocated until you arrive at the port? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanemagnet Posted April 17, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 17, 2016 How do you print your luggage tags if your cabin isn't allocated until you arrive at the port? You let the P&O employees at the port write some luggage tags, or at least that is what I have done in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwalkerdave Posted April 18, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We booked a cabin for 3 for August 2016 last October and Cabin number was allocated in November, early so maybe because it was a 3 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Belle Posted April 21, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) We booked early saver in August last year for June 16 & were allocated our cabin about 1 week after booking. I was amazed! Seems to be no hard and fast rules for allocation. There are 4 of us. Enjoy your cruise. 9 weeks 3 days :) Edited April 21, 2016 by Belfast Belle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancashire_cruisers Posted April 22, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Booked a saver fare last weekend for a July cruise and logged into the cruise personaliser today to input passport details etc. I was amazed to see our cabin allocation there already! The cabin is well located and a couple of grades higher than we paid for - result! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyAngelic Posted April 23, 2016 Author #19 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just had our cabin allocations .... 3 and a half weeks before travel so not too bad. Situated aft of ship on Decks B and C so hopefully good as only other cabins above and below. Not cruised Oceana before so hoping those are good allocations. Bit miffed at having to pay £10 pp per flight for seats on plane though to ensure we get to sit together. Thought that would be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriv Posted April 23, 2016 #20 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Delighted you now have your cabin, TotallyAngelic. Having cabins above and below is always a good sign! Unfortunately it is now the way of the airlines that we have to pay extra to guarantee sitting together. We don't usually bother and just take what comes even if we are split up, but I appreciate it is different if you have children. Not long now, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long now, :) It is indeed .. for some reason I assumed as this was all in the cruise fare it would be included, we didn't have to pay extra for our bags as you often do. If it were just my husband and I we would take the chance, but we have my Mum travelling with us and she likes to sit together so we really did it to keep her happy, as you do. No biggie really, just had the impression it would be included in the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriv Posted April 24, 2016 #22 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yes, I think they have us over a barrel really if it matters. We have been assigned seats together most times - but I bet we would be split up if it really did matter. Sod's law. But yes, it would make it a lot easier if included in the price.

TinyDancer12 Posted April 24, 2016 #23 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I booked a 4 nighter for February 2017 as early saver last month and got a cabin allocated within days. Really bizarre - I was expecting it to be far later. Just hoping it's not a rubbish cabin that no one ever wants. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Belle Posted April 24, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Are you sure you booked Early Saver, as they don't allocate cabin until after Final Payment to avoid cancellations. Hi Jody75 Yes definitely early saver fare. We certainly didn't expect an allocation so early but very happy with what we got. Mind you we are first timers so maybe we just don't know enough :) Ventura C717 inside cabin. Views welcome.
