Ken076 Posted May 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2009 As long as you understand that you're signing up to accept, without recourse, any cabin in the minimum Category you purchase, any location, any deck (if you purchase IS Guarantee you could get a FWD Inside Cabin on the riviera deck) and you can only get price drops up to Final Payment. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyandlala Posted May 22, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Paid in full for an balcony, how bad can a bad balcony room be? are the partially obstructed that obstructed?? And what's the chances of an upgrade to a wraparound or suite? leaving on Legend 5/31/09 and appears to be lots of empty rooms in those categories but no more fun saver balcony deals.

firefly333 Posted May 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2009 The first three cabins of the obstructed supposed to have the bigger life boats in front of them, the others less so, just hard to see straight down. Chances of a upgrade the day of the cruise are almost slim and none, you need to upgrade before the ship leaves with Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted May 23, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Suggestions to get a better upgrade on cruise day appreciated! Wont happen- Cabins are sold to residents for a very cheap price. Most ships sail at FULL or nearly full. If higher categories are left people are then upgraded BEFORE sailing so they can sell the lower categories at a cheaper rate. If looking for an upgrade do it before you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard there are not as many upgrades to be had anymore as Carnival is doing the pay to upgrade calls now. I know we've done the Fun Saver twice and ended up in the lowest category we could get so no upgrade at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyandlala Posted May 23, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted May 23, 2009 thanks, seems i've already been assigned my room, 5185, any knowledge of it? thought i wouldn't be assigned til day of sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted May 23, 2009 #11 Share Posted May 23, 2009 what ship? assignments are usually given out after final payment. It can change up til sailing but very rare. 5185 on a spirit class ship is a 7A- obstructed view cabin. Lifeboats are to the railing - but your cabin is between lifeboats with a better view. click on a pic to make it bigger some pics the guy is standing on a 7A balcony the cabin itself will be like all the rest of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
