What's the earliest you got you cabin number?

[MilCruiser]

Same here. I got my cabin the day I booked. An extended balcony that I locked in. It was approximately 8 months out.

I got our cabin number the day I booked our cruise, 4 months ago. It was so easy! I had read and researched this forum extensively and knew exactly what I wanted. My Carnival representative was very helpful and gave me 3-4 cabins to pick from.:)

[dotshub]

The earliest would be for our upcoming cruise in June. We booked a balcony guarantee and have had our cabin number for several weeks already. Nice upgrade too, to panorama deck. :)

I am going out on Feb 16th also and got our cabin number about 3 weeks ago. I guess it's all random.

I'm so jealous of you guys! We're on a March 2nd sailing and our edocs still say TBA!! That's ok though, we're anxiously waiting..lol

[Chmie]

We booked our July/08 cruise online in June/07 and had a room number immediately. I will be interested if we actually get that room on checkin :D

[Cobra1365]

Just checked again...still TBA. Feb 2 Glory sailing.

what is e docs?

 

we booked through mom's friend who is a travel agent and don't have paper work yet.

[Tbay-eh]

I am soooo inpatient! I am dying to know what our cabin number will be. I just cruised in July but I can't remember how soon before the cruise I got our cabin number. I keep looking at the Carnival site like eveyr hour to check. HA!

 

I cruise Feb 10 so I know it won't be too much longer :-)

 

:cool: :cool: We got our room number back in August when we booked - when I called Carnival - as we talked on the phone I went to the deck plan and told him where and what room I wanted. We have a balcony and across the hall interior and wanted together. I gather if you just book and no preferrences then you get assigned whenever. cindy

I feel better knowing that you are IN the same boat as me (so to speak). My cabin still says TBA - and I leave on the Valor on February 10th. I keep telling myself that TBA is the best cabin on the ship ;)

[cruisin1982]

We picked our cabin when we booked the cruise. I know it was our first cruise but we wanted to make sure we got a cabin in the center and as high as we could get. How much $$$ do you save if you let Carnival pick your cabin. Has anyone been stuck with a bad cabin (VEIW). I have heard horror stories about being stuck by the engine room or elevator.

 

Have a great cruise:)

Yep! it stands for The Big A$$ed cabin!:D :D :D

We seemd to get our room assignment quicker when we have the whole family (94 days out) than when it is just the two of us (50 days). Our next cruise I picked the room since we are doing a penthouse suite and since I am spending that much money I want to make sure I have a GREAT view (um... they don't know yet, gonna be a surprise for my DD's and DH's birthdays). :p We have had great luck in our room location and with our military discount on GTY you can't beat it...... :D :D

[samiam0403]

I don't think there's any rhyme nor reason to when you get your assignment with a GTY. We are on a B2B2B at the beginning of Feb, and received legs 1 and 3 over a month ago. (Upgraded from a 4A GTY to 5As - yay!) But we still haven't received our assignment for the 2nd leg. I've been checking it about a bazillion times a day...Never had to wait this long before - maybe no news is good news? :D

Hi Cobra

''Yep! it stands for The Big A$$ed cabin!:D :D :D

 

Now I'm much more excited about getting my gty number lol !!!

[realtrip]

Hi Jimbug

 

You are so lucky, I'm still waiting. We are also leaving on March 15th ( on the Triumph ).

 

Wishing you a great cruise.

[Karshrimp]

We got ours about 1 month before the sail date. Got them the first week of December for out January 5th sailing. :)

[Noisette]

We also are sailing in February (17th to be exact on the Destiny, from San Juan, Puerto Rico) and my reservation on the web site TBA has been changed last week to our room number. We are pretty happy about this.

 

Have a nice trip.
