Robert and Sandy Posted October 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This is the problem. I booked a group of about 50 people with this we all would get a free upgrade from a 8a to a 8b which would be from 6 floor to 7 floor and this is what we had decided to use our points on. now carnival has changed the category to be front and back on 6 floor to be 8a and mid ship 6floor to be 8b Should I be upset about this When we booked They were all 6 floor 8a 7 floor 8b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don;t go in fighting... explain your concerns and see if they are willing to work with you on this. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the night club, get it changed now. Mid ship would be better than fore and aft on Upper deck (6th floor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert and Sandy Posted October 21, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted October 21, 2008 It's doesn't realy matter that Iam on the sixth floor as long (as we or not over a bar) but I have to go and explane to 50 people why we or not on the seventh floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelntreats Posted October 21, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2008 if the cabins mid ship are in a good location...then you are OK, but need to speak with your TA (or CCL) before you talk to your friends. So many people think that HIGHER UP staterooms are better, when in reality, they will have more motion distress potential than staterooms lower and more mid ship. Talk to your TA and explain your concerns over this change happening AFTER you had used your ammenity points and perhaps they will work with you on this to appease everyone !

Let them know now that a Cat 6b is mid ship Upper Deck and they shouldn't be upset. 6th floor or 7th floor, who really cares? A cruise on the 6th floor is better than going to work.

Your choice. Everyone is having to deal with the higher categories, or higher prices so dont feel alone. Take cabins in the aft section of deck 7 and you will be still up a deck.

AZ Karaoke Girl Posted October 21, 2008 #18 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Did you have cabins assigned already? If you booked guarantees, how do you know what CCL plans to assign to you? Your promotion might be from A to B but what if you get C, D etc? Happens all the time with guarantees. We booked an 8A gty on our last group cruise and we were assigned an 8E extended balcony which was actually several category upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
