Did I make a mistake?

I had a confirmed inside "I" category cabin on the Veendam. I was looking at availability on my April 1 departure and it looked like the prices went down. So I called CVC (Carnival Vacation Club) and they were able to book us in an outside "H" GTD cabin for the same price. On one hand I'm a little annoyed because the price for a "H" GTD was lower than the "I" that I had. They said that I couldn't get the lower price because I'm within cancellation. I'm still happy though because I now am guaranteed an outside cabin!

There seems to be plenty of cabins available. What is the chance that we may be upgraded. Any chance of being upgraded to a suite? (Long shot I know)

 

How soon does HAL confirm cabins for GTDs? Is there a way to find out "early"? Sometimes with a Carnival booking you can see the GTD cabin they've assigned.

my personal experience and observation is that HAL rarely upgrades. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just not often. Have a wonderful cruise on the Veendam. She is a lovely ship :).

My experience says that they are filling up the porthole rooms. Expect to get room 709 or similar. Nice rooms , but up front and noisy during docking.

Oh well, early to bed, early to rise!

Outside cabins are better than inside cabins any time!!

 

Keep going to the immigration form and checking to see if a cabin has been assigned to you. Sometimes HAL won't assign a cabin until the last week. Some have had to wait until they get to the pier.
