serene56 Posted April 20, 2005 #51 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Strider-- you mean to tell me that you still are not assigned a vabin this close to sailing?? Have you checked the fun pass method?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomewhereBeyondTheSea Posted April 20, 2005 #52 Share Posted April 20, 2005 sometimes you don't find out until you get to the pier. This isn't alsways a bad things because you have a better chance for a higher upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco56 Posted April 20, 2005 #53 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I sail on the Victoy May 8th. Havent been able to find my cabin by Book Modify or Fun pass. I still havent recieved my documents and I was paid in full at time of booking...in Jan. :confused: Hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluexMoon Posted April 20, 2005 Author #54 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I've only been able to find my cabin# on my docs. When I do book/modify, or gift method, it still says GTY. But if I key in the cabin# listed on my docs to "buy" a gift, I get an error that GTY cabins must make purchases by phone, no on-line purchases allowed. I guess that's because my cabin# could change.

Wennfred Posted May 10, 2005 #55 Share Posted May 10, 2005 My Friend Mike booked on March 10th and got his cabin assignment using the Gift method on 6th of May, He sails on 30 Jun 2005, 55 days out. BlueXmoon, Try going into the Funpass area first, then Gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomewhereBeyondTheSea Posted May 10, 2005 #56 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I am sailing on the Valor in less then 3 weeks. Still no cabin assignment. But if I go by the secret code on the sail and sign page, then I was assigned an Oceanview - cat 6A. I'll let you all know if that secret code was accurate once I get back.

mc'smom Posted May 10, 2005 #57 Share Posted May 10, 2005 good morning everyone I booked one month ( paid in full ) in advance for our January cruise on the Victory. I booked an oceanview guarantee cabin. After an entire month of trying the book/ modify order / gifts method I gave up 2 days before the cruise. At the pier we found out we had an upgrade to an 8B Balcony.... I immediately called my PVP and told him I loved him... LOL Although I am sure he had nothing to do with it.

serene56 Posted May 10, 2005 #58 Share Posted May 10, 2005 See, this is all proving to me that the later you book the better the upgrade. People who book a year out hardly are getting upgrades. The people who paid more for their cruises will get the upgrades first. So by booking my cruise a year ahead its better for me to book a cabin then take that chance for an upgrade since it really is a small chance.

SomewhereBeyondTheSea Posted May 10, 2005 #59 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I think it also depends on how full the cruise is. I will be on a sold out cruise so there is no way to expect a balcony. The balcony's sold out pretty fast. But I booked a category 4D or better but I "think" they gave me an OV. Catagory 6A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikel1733 Posted May 10, 2005 #60 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Littlebit....when are you going? We are on the Valor the 29th of May. My daughter is getting married on the ship. We booked guarantee rooms a year ago. All of us have our assignments except my daughter. Her documents give her a room that is on Main deck. The rest of us are on Empress. (Not that we want her room anywhere near ours...lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomewhereBeyondTheSea Posted May 10, 2005 #61 Share Posted May 10, 2005 We will also be on the 29th. I think I've seen you on the roll call once before. If not check it out!!! A bunch of us are meeting up at the Eagles Lounge after the muster drill. It must be very exciting that your daughter is getting married. Nothing better then a cruise wedding :-) Is she getting married on the ship or on one of the Islands? If I go by the secret code in back of the sail and sign page then I will be on the Riveira Deck - Oceanview. Which is actually good for me...closer to the gangway and no hassle waiting for elevators ;) Marie-Elena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikel1733 Posted May 10, 2005 #62 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Littlebit12 - The wedding is on the ship in the Miami Port. Don't have any details yet on when or where. Supposedly find out all that info in a week or so. Not sure with the wedding and reception where we'll be after the muster drill....but maybe we can work our way to the lounge.

SomewhereBeyondTheSea Posted May 11, 2005 #63 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I don't think we will be in the Lounge for too long. We would like to be on deck for the sail away party. But at some point throw on green and yellow lei's and everyone from our Roll Call will be able to recognize you. Or if you get a quick chance to stop by Eagles Lounge that will be great :) 17 more days...I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomewhereBeyondTheSea Posted May 13, 2005 #66 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Maybe it's just me but it's starting to sound like blacony gty's are assigned before sailing where interior and OV's don't have that same luck. Could this be because there are less balcony's and they sell out faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISnAMY Posted May 13, 2005 #67 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I'm on the Conquest 6/19/05. Booked gty 8A in January '05. Have been checking to see if a cabin assignment has been made using the "FunPass Method" & sure enough, today there is a cabin number & its an upgrade to 9A. Whoo hoo! Hopefully nothing changes prior to sailing, but if it does, oh well. I'm still on vacation & I still know that I'll have at least an 8A! Cheers!

lizveall Posted May 13, 2005 #68 Share Posted May 13, 2005 We're sailing on Destiny from Barbados on 18th May (next Wednesday) got my tickets today (4 days out) and my 6A OV Gty which was assigned 3 months ago, Riviera 1293, is still the cabin number on the tickets. I don't know if its because we are embarking from Barbados that there is no possibility of upgrade, or if there's a chance we will get upgraded at the pier. No matter, I'm happy with the cabin, its what I woud have chosen if I'd gone assigned 6A. This is my first cruise experience and I have learned so much. Next time I will do it so so so differently. Book really early, directly with Carnival PVP and during an upgrade sale or something similar to make the most of my money. Carnival sent my documents out to TA months ago, but TA wouldn't despatch till yesterday. Luckily I found out my cabin assignment by doing the funpass/gift order thing, so didn't have to wait till today to find out the cabin number.

paminohio Posted May 13, 2005 #69 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I booked a 4A GTY (two months prior to sailing) and was not assigned until I was at the port (Fantasy in May). I checked the morning before sailing (using all the secret methods) and it was still a GTY. We ended up with a upper deck porthole cabin so I was happy.

SoCalgirl Posted May 14, 2005 #70 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I've been assigned at the pier twice. This time, I'm sailing 6/5 Valor, and I got my docs yesterday with cabin # -- no upgrade. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alecia05 Posted May 18, 2005 #71 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I called the bon voyaga gift deptartment and told them that I wanted to order gifts for the rooms. I gave the gentleman the booking numbers, and he gave me our cabin assignments!!!! Just thought I would add that....3 days till CRUISIN WITH THE GIRLS!!!!!!:p :D ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be because there are less balcony's and they sell out faster? WHat happens with sailings that are not selling quite as well.. People who booked insides and oceanviews will move up so the cruise lines can see the chepaer cabins for an even cheaper price. Cabins are not usualy set until 6- 7 weeks out. (if people are gettting assignments earlier then that-- then the agent placed them in set cabins and didnt tell no one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
