No cabin assigned for 3/20 cruise

I understand they can do this at the pier. Why would they wait? Cruise was not sold out from whatI could  tell.

You have asked one of those crystal ball kinds of question.  Only Viking can answer your question and experience tells us they won't.

Assuming you are not on a cruise that requires Visa applications, if the cruise isn't sold out they are keeping the maximum cabin categories open for any late bookings. Had the cruise been sold out, you would probably have a cabin assignment already.

 

Yes, with a guarantee cabin then can delay the assignments until check-in at the pier, which we have experienced more than once. A couple of times we sailed with our son, we didn't have a cabin assigned until after departure, so our bags were sent to our son's cabin.

I thought you had to book at least two days in advance.

Haven't experience that before. I believe most will accept bookings until the day before departure. Haven't tried that ourselves, but have met pax that booked day before.

And I bet they were in driving distance of the port.

Here in South Florida, that's a very popular activity. People booking cruises a day or two before departure. Especially for Caribbean cruises.

If no guarantees have been assigned now ,there must be more rooms than guarantees . Trying to get someone not to go at this late date might be difficult.
