Joyfulcruiset Posted April 26 #1 Share Posted April 26 Cruising on Horizon in Jan 2025, have friends that decided to go. However only balcony cabins showing as available are a cove cabin or a spa cabin. Is it likely more cabins will show as available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted April 26 #2 Share Posted April 26 I don't know how likely it is but yes it can happen as travel agents release rooms they have on hold, folks upgrade or cancel, etc. You could try calling in to Carnival, sometimes the agents over the phone (or PVPs if you have one) can grab a room that may not be showing on the web. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted April 26 #3 Share Posted April 26 Could be the only cabins showing are for two, or whatever they put in for number of guests. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane0226 Posted April 27 #4 Share Posted April 27 my PVP was able to get us a balcony on the Horizon on our April 13 2024 sailing, we booked 10 days before the cruise, so they can sometimes find rooms if you cannot, I was not able to see any when I tried to book.

Linsuesue Posted April 27 #5 Share Posted April 27 Cabins usually show up after the final payment date-90 days before sailing. When they do not finish paying, the reservation gets cancelled. Check back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in Maine Posted April 29 #6 Share Posted April 29 We LOVE the cove cabins. If you like being near the water they are awesome. I'm looking at our next cruise and will only book a cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostsoulcruiser Posted April 29 #7 Share Posted April 29 If possible, consider booking the balcony guarantee category. Carnival may not be showing all cabins available (My PVP told me that once, cannot confirm). Worst case is the cove balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cruiselines won't let you book fewer people in a cabin than its maximum capacity (e.g , you can't put 1 or 2 people in a cabin that holds 3 or 4). To see those open cabins, you have to search with 3 or 4 passengers. Sometimes a cruise line agent can/will book you into those with fewer passengers than maximum capacity. Sometimes (especially in off-peak periods) all 2-person cabins in a category are booked so you can only book 2 people into a guarantee (this sounds like OP's situation), and closer to sailing you'll be assigned to a 3- or 4- person cabin as the cruise line determines how many are not likely to be booked with 3 or 4 passengers.
