Penguin11 Posted October 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2018 While in early mass this morning, I received a voice mail from our RCCL planner. I just called him back and he told us we got a room assignment for our inside guarantee. It is a Balcony on deck 11 on the Anthem. WOW 😮. i guess a last minute booking can work out to your benefit. I cant being to tell you how blessed we feel. Cant wait for next Saturday, i feel like a kid again waiting for Christmas day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidoBoy Posted October 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I guess it pays to go to mass! Likely some divine intervention. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMESCC Posted October 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I am extremely jealous as I have been on 7 cruises and have had no free upgrades. A guy I work with went on his first cruise on Princess and got a free upgrade. Maybe its a beginners luck kinda thing for both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted October 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Terrific - That is an amazing upgrade - Interior to Balcony, bypassing the next step to Ocean View. We have booked dozens of guarantee cabins and NEVER once got anything better than the category that was guaranteed. Also unusual to me that you received a call about your assignment as we always have to look on-line to see what is assigned... dozens of guarantee assignments and never a phone call to tell me the guarantee is assigned. enjoy your good luck M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've contemplated booking a guarantee many times in the past and I have always chickened out because I am such a planner. Deck 11 is a great deck. We were on it (interior cabin) in September. Quiet deck but close to the action up top to avoid needing elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in upgrading someone who has sailed multiple times with cruises booked in advance, they have already shown they will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin11 Posted October 29, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We are very happy, i guess its is beginners luck. We have had a crazy year. And this is our fist vacation since our honeymoon 5 years ago. We saved and budgeted to have a nice 5th Wedding Anniversary cruise. And so far its come together for us very well in a short period of time. Its late Sunday night, and I dont think ill sleep until next Saturday. In fact we started to pack. i hope you dont think we are being childish, just so excited to be so fortunate. Bless you all, goodnight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcatmcat Posted October 29, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The first time I got in a grand suite by surprise I was a gold member. I had an ocean view guarantee on the majesty and once at the pier we Were told about the upgrade. Since mine was guarantee I sent my lugggae to my friends room just in case. Can’t tell I have been that lucky again but upgrades and great rooms are still available. I’m sailing on the Symphony in a balcony guarantee almost paying like the interior I previously had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayneb236 Posted October 29, 2018 #17 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I always get that first time feeling when I first step on my ship. As soon as I step on the deck Every single bit of pressure in my body lifts. I know you'll have a fantastic time. Just take it all in. It's awesome.

Anthem has probably the highest OV balcony cabin ratio in the whole fleet - the math works in your favor on a Quantum class ship, especially in low season and late in the selling cycle.

Only caveat - it will be hard going back, but worry about that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
