tvlworm Posted January 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2018 We’re sailing early March on Glory and is our first cruise that we’ve booked a TBA//guarantee balcony cabin. Any idea on when they complete the cabin assignments? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrufy Posted January 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2018 You can expect it from today all the way to check in. If you are not assigned until port arrival, the porters will have the cabin number for you and attach the luggage tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted January 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Sometime before you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvlworm Posted January 27, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thanks! We’ve been booked since last April so I’m just getting excited and impatient with waiting. I’m hoping it’s assigned before we get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny O Posted February 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) We booked a TBA balcony on Ecstasy a month ago for a May 11 sailing. We just got our room assignment today on the Main center deck. Yay! But I'm not understanding the categories, what they mean.

Reenie75 Posted February 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hmmmm I've been checking like a mad lady everyday :') our sail date is April 21st. We booked Balcony guarantee. See nothing yet. 58 days to go. Wish we could see where we we will be then I usually look over deck plans to see whats close. Have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timc.jb Posted February 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yes, you will have to wait. They might surprise you and automatically upgrade you if plenty of rooms are available to send you an upgrade offer for a small price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCbmwmom Posted February 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2018 We are 40 something days out and have had our cabin assignment for about a week. Magic, but sailing a few weeks before you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm this may be a stupid question but what's an upgrade on balcony?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 22, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The one time booked guarantee I had an assignment a couple months before the cruise. We're within 10 days of a cruise now and someone in my roll call still hasn't received their assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpagejr Posted February 22, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hmmm this may be a stupid question but what's an upgrade on balcony?? Carnival has 6 or 7 balcony designations. Most are category 8...There are some category 7 and category 9 . Aft balconys are one of the higher categorys as are SPA and Lido deck. Usually a 8A starts on deck 6. Ships which have the cove balconeys are on deck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way...it was sorta exciting not knowing what your cabin was. We knew we had a balcony...so no big deal. and its not as if we had a choice in changing it if we knew earlier. As it turned out we were assigned a Lido balcony ...We were happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to wait like everyone else. ;p I can still see deck 2, 6 mostly available. There are a few on deck 7, 8 and 9. This is I were to purchase a Balcony room and if I chose my storeroom. I'm guessing anything higher is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCbmwmom Posted February 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hmmm this may be a stupid question but what's an upgrade on balcony?? Right after we were assigned a Cove balcony I got an email with a $40 upgrade to floor 8 or 9 ( can’t really remember). I didn’t take it. We’ve never had a Cove before.

The Name Remains The Same Posted February 22, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 22, 2018 My wife and I are on the Glory sailing on March 17. We received our cabin assignment about a week ago. FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its awesome to hear the ocean while sitting on that balcony. Also an added bonus is your close to your cabin on Port days. No dealing with packed elevators or having to treck up many levels of stairs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dealing with packed elevators or having to treck up many levels of stairs!! Actually I will be fine with Deck 2, I've read some reviews. When it's time to sleep we will get a good night's sleep. Just excited about a Balcony. My daughter is so used to walking to a certain side for inside and reading door number it won't clue in until she sees the number and be shocked.... a Balcony Mama! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reenie75 Posted March 5, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 5, 2018 So friggin anxious on getting the news about which cabin we will be in. We are 46 days to go... guarantee balcony. The longer it is do you think it's better?:confused: Idk all I know we could have a temporary room but they are waiting on sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer it is do you think it's better?:confused: Idk all I know we could have a temporary room but they are waiting on sales. I do, only because it helped me narrow down which cabin it could be. I made frequent mock bookings and looked at the available cabins. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted April 19, 2018 #23 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Curious, have you heard anything about your balcony yet? One would hope so, Kenny O. The OP was set to sail last month in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvlworm Posted April 19, 2018 Author #24 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Curious, have you heard anything about your balcony yet? We actually already sailed and received our assignment around 3 weeks beforehand ending up on Spa deck 11. I was a little bit nervous about being on the top passenger deck and all the way forward but it was great! Glory doesn’t have a Cloud 9 Spa so there wasn’t anything special about the room furnishings or any spa perks. Only difference from any other balcony was it has a full sliding balcony door.
