Crusin Karen Posted March 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I handpicked our room on Pride. I have the confirmation. I just went to cruise manager to check something and we are on the complete opposite end of the ship that I booked. I then did a mock booking and "our cabin" is available. What is going on? :eek::mad:TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted March 19, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks! No it was NOT an upgrade. I handpick a cabin near the back stairs/elevators on deck 8 so I can walk up and down to Lido. They have me almost in the very front of the ship! And on the OPPOSITE side! We did this same cruise this past January and we were on port side, so I picked starboard for a different view. I am SO P'ED OFF!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them heck no and to give me my inside back! You need to call NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic6318 Posted March 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi Don't know you situation specifically, and I would certainly get in touch with your TA, if you didn't book directly with Carnival. I do know that they can change your cabin if you are booked into a cabin that would accommodate more people than are booked, or if it is an accessible cabin and you are not in need of one so equipped.

Crusin Karen Posted March 19, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted March 19, 2018 We booked directly with Carnival. I did get 2 price drops. It is just a regular balcony cabin and can't figure out why they would switch. Unable to call until later this afternoon. If "my cabin" is taken I am going to hit the roof!!!

lcpagejr1 Posted March 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Doesn't make sense ...especially with your cruise 10 months out??? With your past cruise history and loyalty to Carnival...They should upgrade you to a Suite for this inconvenience!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Shoes2Go Posted March 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If it was me, I would put the preferred cabin on a hold, until you call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2018 One time I did a price drop and they accidentally moved me to a different room by getting a couple of the cabin numbers mixed up. I noticed it immediately and they were able to change it back. Anytime I do a price drop now I verify the room number afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutumbojimbo Posted March 19, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2018 My cabin was changed once, we were taking our son, so we had three people, but the room I booked had space for 4. The moved us with out warning, but I was able to call Carnival and get us back to the original room. You should definitely call them but I do think that there is language in the cruise contract that allows them to do things like this (which is lame).

Crusin Karen Posted March 19, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Called Carnival and they could not figure out why they switched us, so we are back in "our cabin." Thanks to everyone for all your advice and experiences! Now if only they could take away the gray hair that I got this morning! I LOVE where our room is and I was so mad! So another lesson learned: everyone check your cabin assignments every now and then. I knew I could count on you guys! HAPPY CRUISING everyone!

NHNEV2003 Posted March 19, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Curiosity question--why would you post on Cruise Critic before calling Carnival to sort it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerman2 Posted March 19, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Curiosity question--why would you post on Cruise Critic before calling Carnival to sort it out? Because when people are PO'D they don't think rationally?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted March 19, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Curiosity question--why would you post on Cruise Critic before calling Carnival to sort it out? As beerman said, I was NOT thinking rationally! I saw on the CCL website they had a completely different room than I hand picked. I mean, I was in the way back on starboard, they had me a few cabins from the front, actually from the bridge on deck 8 on aft. And I went nuts lol. I did not think I would have a chance to get a hold of CCL until late this afternoon and I saw "my cabin" was available and was convinced it would be snatched up before I had a chance to sort out the problem. This is a very popular Journeys cruise. I also wondered if this has happened often to others and the outcome as kind of a reassurance to myself before I could get hold of CCL. And if they wouldn't switch the cabin back, whether I had any ammunition. I know you are all the experts here. As it happens, we were able to get hold of Diamond desk earlier and all's well that ends well! I am sorry to have taken up the time of those posters that gave me advice and related their experiences. Thank you as it made me feel better in the meantime. And taught me a lesson to always check all the info. CRISIS OVER lol. And no, I am usually not a drama queen lol. HAPPY CRUISING everyone! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghsteelerfan Posted March 20, 2018 #21 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Karen, I saw this yesterday but had no advice to offer so didn't comment. I'm so relived to hear that you have this worked out and are in the cabin you chose. I'd be ticked too. For the past several cruises we've taken, we have know where we want to be and are picky about cabin location. And I can vouch, you are NOT a drama queen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after our 4th Nor'easter. :eek::rolleyes: I think I'd have been NUTS too, especially if I was in a position, like you, of not being able to call Carnival right away. Those Nor'easters...they've been rolling in one after the other and I've actually lost track of whether this was the 3rd or 4th, so now I know. You definitely need a cruise getaway. We've been getting them too, but just a little wind from #2 and #3. We're getting snow now, anywhere from 3-6; 4-8; 6-11. Apparently a change in few degrees will be the difference in the amount. Warmer = more rain, less snow accumulation, but if it gets cold, we'll be on the higher amounts. And this is the first day of spring....:eek:! But I do look forward to hearing from you when you get a chance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
