cruise junky joan Posted July 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I don't want to get my hopes up so: are many cabins released when it is time for final payments to be made? I want to change cabins but there aren't any available currently. anyone with some experience in this area I would appreciate your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there are always people who change their minds at final deposit. If you really want to change, you should get your self on a waitlist for the category you want.

Rare Coral Posted July 17, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Only those cabins in which a passenger cancels will open up. If people don't cancel, then cabins will not open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTravelers Posted July 17, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Depends on how many cabins have been reserved. We saved a bundle by booking at the 60-day mark. Many rooms became available because TAs blocked cabins for groups and finally released them when they were not sold. Put yourself on a wait list and also check some of the discount websites for additional info. We had a room reserved with Princess and had the discount TA release the hold and immediately rebook - saving almost $2200.00 for the whole cabin with 2 passengers. Works best if you are not wait-listed for a specific cabin. You may get what you want at a lower price!!! This plan does not work for cruises that are sold out - depends upon the itinerary. Good Luck.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise junky joan Posted July 17, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted July 17, 2007 unfortunately we are booked with an online agency that requires the final payment 75 days out. If we make our final payment and then cabins come back on the market I would hope that I could change cabins and get the discounted price but I will have to check with our agency to be sure. I do know that we will get the benefit of any price reductions on cabins but I am not sure about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
