That concept ended with smart phones, social media and the way the latest generation of younger cruises has been brought into the market. It's also all about profit at the end of the day. Unfortunately us older cruisers (sailing since early 80's) are expendable.

Before, I came to your post I was wondering if they were going to go with the original Pinnacle Class concept. It will be interesting to see. I'm searching for that old concept video now.

I sailed on the original Mardi Gras in 1982 and went to Canada from Boston.

Yes, very easy to do as was just mentioned by csm. I just did it two wekeys eks ago on the Panorama. I gave my daughter and her friend my balcony cabin and I took their inside cabin as part of their graduation present. Went to guest services as soon as we boarded around noon and before we even had our regular room keys. They just issued us blanks key cards with only the last 2 digits of the room printed on them.

We've used the same PVP for 21 years and she's the best. Like many who've already posted. I usually look everything up, find the cabin i want and then just reach out to her to finalize things. She'll always find us the best rate and even on our sailing this past summer on the Panorama she found some forget OBC from our COVID bookings. Just today she took care of us for our June 2024 sailing on the Celebration. I had spoken to her over 6 months ago regarding the trip I wanted to plan for my daughters graduation and she assured me she had a note on her computer. She then called me two weeks ago to give me a heads up that bookings for the summer of 2024 would be opening soon for the Celebration and she wanted to confirm the cabins I inquired about. Sure enough, I woke up this afternoon (I work overnights) and saw that I had two cabins on hold, I also had a missed call from her. Needless to say I just finalized the trip about 2 hours ago. She's amazing.
