No guarantee cabins for 3 people??

[shipty2]

I just got an email from our groups PVP. She says there are no guarantee cabins for 3 passengers on our sailing available. I should mention this cruise is 325 days away. Have any of you heard of this before?

What cruise date and ship? Also what catagory are you trying to get a guarantee in? You can always go to carnivals website and go thru the motions of booking your cuise, select 3 people then on the next screen see if any G comes up

Your group PVP? Is that someone from home like a TA or from Carnival, in any, hold off on booking right now, they will come later. Check again in a month.

It is the PVP from Carnival's group bookings department.

A good person to ask is Host Randy or Host Laura, since this is what they do most.

The key is "Group" booking.

 

When we booked a "Group", we could not make a $25 deposit for a 3 person cabin and "Guarantee" class either. We had to select the cabin we wanted PLUS make the full $250 pp deposit. We still got the "Group" classification and perks though.

Ah that makes sense now. Oh well we are getting an on board credit of $100 per cabin. After this stress I have decided to upgrade to a cat 8D anyway.

Yup! Groups are handled differently... it's not that they aren't available, but if you need a specific configuration, you book a specific cabin...

Do you mean cabins in close proximity to each other? I don't care where I am on the ship which is why I booked a guarantee. I am not impressed with this PVP at all so far but I can't change because we are part of a group for a wedding. I called Carnival and they told me that I'd have to cancel and then wait and rebook with another and I do not want to do that because we have reserved the 1A cabins with windows for some of our single travelers at an awesome price.

By specific configuration, I mean a triple or a quad, or a single.

Thanks! So if I drop out of the group and cancel then rebook with my regular PVP do you think I'll be able to get a guarantee for 3? I have never in 7 cruises been told I could not book a guarantee for three but this is my first group cruise.
