mydogs Posted October 27, 2006 #26 Share Posted October 27, 2006 We selected our SS when we booked. However, we still do not have our docs. I checked the agency site and it said they are to be sent 10/29. Interesting since that is a Sunday and DHL does not deliver here on a Sunday. Hmm!!!!!!!!!!!:cool: :cool: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelmac Posted October 27, 2006 #27 Share Posted October 27, 2006 One interesting thing about HAL guarantees -- they seem to post cabin assignments late Saturday night, as everytime it has appeared on the site Sunday morning. All three times we were upgraded and all three times it appeared Sunday morning, usually 10--14 days before the cruise. We have the Westerdam coming up in December and the Maasdam in March, so we will see if the pattern continues??? Enjoy! Kel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kel Are you saying you had a guarantee cabin assigned and then it was upgraded or did you mean that all three guarantees were upgrades? I am just curious as to the chances that DH and I may have a possibility of a cabin change again before our cruise in December. Our cabin number was assigned in the middle of the week rather than the weekend as I had been checking daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just curious as to the chances that DH and I may have a possibility of a cabin change again before our cruise in December. Our cabin number was assigned in the middle of the week rather than the weekend as I had been checking daily. We received an upgrade all three times from the cat purchased. We always book a K inside, and twice we received outside cabins, and once we were upgraded two catagories to another inside cabin. Each time, it was posted Sunday morning, 10--14 days before the cruise. Once they assign a cabin they usually don't make any changes. Good luck!

grandgeezer Posted October 29, 2006 #30 Share Posted October 29, 2006 We booked a VF guarantee on the Oosterdam sailing December 9. I checked my immigration form, online, on October 26 and found we were assigned a VB as an upgrade. Before that it showed GUAR. This will be our 4th cruise with Holland America, the previous two we booked a guarantee and was upgraded. Those were posted a week or two before the sail date. I don't know why this one was posted so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare many cruises Posted October 29, 2006 Author #32 Share Posted October 29, 2006 It's Sunday morning (2 weeks) before our Westerdam Cruise & still no SY Guarantee Cabin number posted. We were hoping that your prediction would be true for us. I guess we're just too over anxious!

Hope everyone gets the cabin of their dreams. I had problems late last night, but it is working now. I suspect they were updating/maintaining last night. Still no cabin assigned, but I don't leave until 11 Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlenez Posted October 29, 2006 #35 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I'm on the Zuiderdam on November 11th and still no cabin for my SY guarantee. I don't know if that's good news or bad news! Maybe they are saving the Penthouse Suite for me and want to surprise me. :) Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy_Chief Posted October 29, 2006 #36 Share Posted October 29, 2006 No stateroom assignment yet. The HAL website shows all Balcony and Suites are "Closed". Bet it won't be long now. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefrk Posted October 29, 2006 #37 Share Posted October 29, 2006 We finally rec'd our cabin assignment on Friday - for the Zuiderdam Nov 19 sailing. We were upgraded from an SY to a SS.

legalslave Posted October 30, 2006 #39 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Arlenez, please let us know when you find out what cabin you are assigned. I booked an SY but selected a cabin. I did say we would take an upgrade. The SY we have is in a great location mid ship. Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x lindsay x Posted October 30, 2006 #40 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Finally got the assignment only 15 days out. It appeared in the evening on Sunday which I thought was an odd time for it to pop up, but hey I'll take it. I will also take the upgrade from the H outside that we booked all the way up to a beautifully located C outside, a 9 category upgrade. No complaints here.

cigarman Posted October 30, 2006 #42 Share Posted October 30, 2006 YES. We booked about three weeks out a GTD BC and have already gotten our cabin number. Upgrade to an AA on the Navigaton deck. 14 days till sail time, now waiting a call from TA that docks have arrived. The wife is SO happy.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted October 30, 2006 #43 Share Posted October 30, 2006 For crying out loud! Everytime I tried to log in for the last week, I got the message that the Immigration page was not available. I rechecked my booking number and realized I was off by one digit. So why didn't the error message tell me that it could not find that number instead of saying the site was down????:confused: Still shows guan for Nov 13 on Volendam. At least I can check again.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZjohn Posted November 1, 2006 #48 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Finally got a cabin assignment today while checking the immigration form online. Didn’t get an upgrade, but thats alright. I just feel better knowing I have a cabin;) .Sail in 24 days on the Oosterdam. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck tune Posted November 1, 2006 #49 Share Posted November 1, 2006 We had cabin assignment show up on our HAL immigration form on 10/25 but today our documents came and still show a SY guarantee. Seems odd to me? Anyone else have that happen before? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZjohn Posted November 2, 2006 #50 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Duck Tune, I’m sure when HAL sent out your doc’s you still didn’t have a cabin assigned yet. What you see on your immigration form is now your cabin (unless they upgrade you between now and the time you board;) ). John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
