NCL reserves the right to change cabins if you picked a room category that is designated "Sail Away" or is "Handicap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted July 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I just checked the deck plans for The Pride-- Cabin 10519 is forward. For me, it would be a wonderful upgrade. Go to Norwegian's website: Explore- Cruise Ships- Pride (all the way to the bottom of the listing)--Click on Staterooms-- Deck 10. Have a wonderful cruise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would like 10519 better--it has cabins above and below it and I feel it would be a quieter cabin. 4071 has public space above it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the lowest rates for each category but, you do not get to pick your cabin and you do not get offered the free at sea drink, dining, or internet package.

You get on the ship and sail away in whatever cabin they choose for you...and without any additional benefits such as drink package, specialty dining, etc. It's a bare-bones fare.

morrowz Posted July 24, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I wouldn’t have questioned the change if I hadn’t picked my cabin ,when we first booked 12 months ago ,it was only changed a few days ago and we weren’t notified ,Jist find it a bit odd .And no not a bare bones fare .

Rare genealogyfan Posted July 24, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Wow, I can't believe NCL changed your cabin without your permission, when you picked a specific cabin and paid for that choice. I would be annoyed and upset too. Did you request an upgrade or something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrowz Posted July 25, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted July 25, 2023 No request for upgrade ,but we will go with the change ,we have never sailed so high up and always midship ,hoping the weather isn’t rough around Hawaii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 25, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 25, 2023 At end of day, better cabin and location. That route generally does not have much rough waters so really not an an issue re location. Plus you are closer to buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do this because I am picky about my cabin location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people would, but the two people I am traveling with in August and myself all selected inside rooms on the lowest possible floor as close to the center of the boat as possible, to avoid sea sickness. Swaying that high up would have us all green all the time. 😄 (I'm the least susceptible so will take a higher room if one of us gets moved.) And someone else mentioned being close to the buffet - I find seven flights of stairs (we don't use the elevator) a great incentive against late night snacking! 😉 OP - I hope you have a blast and the room works out great for you!
