Upgrades When Booking A Specific Stateroom?

[Rowan555]

I'm new to NCL, so I'm not familiar with how they do things in term of assigning cabins. On Carnival, if you book a specific stateroom you are 99.9% likely to be put in that particular room. I am reading, however, that NCL is more likely to bump you to another stateroom - is this the case? It's no big deal, really, we don't have a great room or location - I'm just worried about ending up under a noisy public area if we were to be moved. So if we booked a specific stateroom, should I assume we'll probably end up there, or should I expect to possibly be placed elsewhere?

 

Thanks - we're really looking forward to our first cruise on NCL!

From what I have read here, you book the cabin you want and if you get up graded you will be surprised My GF and I are going on out 2nd NCL cruise in a week We did not get upgraded but both times got the call for an upsell we took both first time on the Dawn next week in the Spirit to a AA suite for $1400 total after receiving a free 2 level upgrade to a BC (?) We feel that it was well worth it due to the bennies and this being my KMA cruise:)

From what I've been reading, I'd say that you are very likely to remain in the same cabin if you booked a particular one (as opposed to a Gty). If they really need it, though, you will only be changed up (and I have seen stories of that) either by offering an upsell or through an upgrade.

 

(I hope that makes sense.)

I will be taking my 17th and 18th cruise on NCL and I have never been bumped from my booked cabin choice.

 

I have been offered an upsell 3x but that is a choice and you have to pay for the move.

 

As far as upgrades go, My TA has always asked me before moving me. :)

I think it is possible that some of the stories you hear about people being moved involve guarantee cabins. Once a cabin is assigned, it is not final and can change at any time.

 

For those who book a specific cabin, I think it would be rare that they are moved without giving consent. These rare cases could be mistakes on someone's part.

 

I would not worry about it!

There are times you could be moved without your knowledge or consent. I don't think it happens very often and when it does it might be in your favor.Most of the problems have occured when rooms booked together are split up and families are separated.
