tinkerfenwick Posted November 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hello. New to Fred Olsen and have just booked a cruise leaving in a couple of weeks. As not much choice in cabins to prebook - decided to chance it with a latesaver booking... Not really fussed where we end up.. Booking agent said we would be allocated cabin at check in ...? Anyone with any idea of how these actually work, much appreciated - have done GTY's on other cruise lines but always had cabin allocated about a week before we sail. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsman Posted November 4, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I believe Fred. Olsen wait to see how many latesavers there are and how many last-minute cancellations or "no-shows" before they allocate cabins. They usually offer a grade at time of booking but allocate a specific cabin at check-in. Sometimes you can get lucky and get a real bargain. There few poor cabins on these ships.

tinkerfenwick Posted November 4, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Cheers - thanks... Have no issue with the allocation, just wondered if we actually knew the cabin number before we arrived at the port to check in. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpool belle Posted November 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I booked a gty only 3 weeks ago for the 10th November cruise. I received my allocated cabin 5 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Lass Posted November 4, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 4, 2011 We have always received the cabin number beforehand when booking a late saver. I suppose it depends on 'how late' of course. I'm sure it will be fine. Have a good trip. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillieB Posted November 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2011 We too have a late saver cabin, only booked yesterday, and we know we have 1st sitting. Last time we cruised we booked as it opened, then found the Late Savers paid considerably less than we did and had just the same accommodation, maybe its better taking pot luck and getting the cruise for less.
