mandtpa Posted October 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2023 We have a guaranteed cabin for a QM2 December sailing. Does anyone know how long before sailing guaranteed cabins are assigned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david63 Posted October 24, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2023 It can be anything from the day of booking to the day of boarding - but I would normally expect to be informed no later than seven days pre embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare agathasmum Posted October 24, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I made a guarantee booking in early Oct for a Nov sailing. I got the confirmation email and had already been assigned a cabin. I called Cunard and changed the cabin to one with a better location in the same category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Agathasmum, did you book through a TA or direct through Cunard to be able to do this? Thanks, Charmaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adammara Posted October 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2023 We booked through a TA, we got our confirmation at 8am on the morning of departure! Not good for the nerves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Charmaine Charmaine, I booked directly with Cunard as the offer popped up on a Saturday and my TA doesn't work weekends. I'm glad I did as the offer had disappeared by Monday morning! Usually I use a TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pushpit Posted October 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 25, 2023 My experience - with direct bookings is about 2 to 3 weeks out, on the whole, if the vessel is either empty or full. In between gets trickier since they are in the market to see more cabins and thus hold on for longer before tying themselves down. So while day of departure can certainly happen. Note that if you check-in online at the first opportunity, the room number may not be shown, it's the luggage tags which seem to have a live connection. And that can change up to the day of departure, usually in the upgrade direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
