MisterBill99 Posted September 23, 2017 #52 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Just making a point..... not so subtle? :confused::o Not an issue of subtle so much as confusing and irrelevant to the conversation here. Since you asked. I told you how to avoid this drama... ;);p Wow, you mean the OP could have changed to an actual cabin assignment in the couple of days since this thread started?

MisterBill99 Posted September 23, 2017 #53 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Can't figure out how a cruise that is listed as sold out on the website has cabins to be upgraded to. We're staying put. Maybe we'll get a free upgrade at the dock. Because there are unassigned cabins, but presumably an equal number of unassigned guarantee cabins available.They try to sell people an upgrade before giving it away free to a guarantee.

Shih-tzu Posted September 23, 2017 #54 Share Posted September 23, 2017 And we're still checking in on you. Only 9 days to go, single digit time! m-- My experience shows that the longer you wait for your cabin assignment, it sometimes means theres more than a few available at a higher level and theyre tring to upsell first; and in my case, I ended up with a nice surprise upgrade. As they say sometimes "Good things come to those that wait". I hope that the suspense comes with great news. I'm booked a guarantee for my upcoming cruise, I don't expect to see my assignment until about 7 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMLincoln Posted September 26, 2017 #61 Share Posted September 26, 2017 So Oct 1 departure... looks like maybe you are going on the the Grand Asia cruise, or part of it? Nice! But multiple segment itineraries are more complicated. That means they have a lot shuffling to do for upsells, upgrades and work it out so that people on more than one segment don't have to change rooms. That's a very nice itinerary, we looked at it but opted for Europe instead this year. I doubt you'll find that type of itinerary on Celebrity. Plus, HAL has already given you OBC and an upgrade from a balcony to a Signature suite, nice and very nice. It seems they are taking good care of you. Your patience will pay off. And you''ll have a Grand cruise in a special room. We hope you will be able to check in here and let us know how it's going. m-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my heart will go on Posted September 26, 2017 Author #63 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Welp... we're in an SS suite, we were guaranteed an SZ. Not sure if there's much of a difference but at least I know where we'll be living for 17 days :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there's much of a difference but at least I know where we'll be living for 17 days :cool: Surprise. There were actually cabins available even though the website said it was sold out. I am not a HAL expert but when I was waiting for my SZ assignment (I also got an SS) in March, the Signature Suite category showed sold out for a while, then not sold out. It was clear that they were trying to upsell people. Also, some people do cancel at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailingskyward Posted September 26, 2017 #66 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've often wondered, if a booked passenger had no insurance and then found out they couldn't take the cruise with less than a week's notice, is there any benefit for them to cancel at all? Or would it be just the same if they no-showed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMLincoln Posted September 27, 2017 #68 Share Posted September 27, 2017 We will. Thanks for all the support from everyone :) Glad you can now feel like you are off to a good start! We love the Hawaii cruise! We like the sea days for the good relaxation after getting to the cruise, then you just can't beat the Aloha spirit and all the exotic things to do there, followed by the relaxing "vacation" coming back. Enjoy it all! m-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KroozNut Posted September 27, 2017 #69 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Wow, you mean the OP could have changed to an actual cabin assignment in the couple of days since this thread started? Nope, but the OP could have selected the cabin they wanted at time of original booking, and thus avoided all the drama and anxiety they ended up dealing with.

Problem is, OP did stress over it, and that is my whole point. Some folks are just prone to stressing / obsessing over things like this, yet continue to book guarantees. For those folks, why not eliminate the anxiety of cabin assignment timing altogether by selecting their cabin upfront and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
