terri910 Posted January 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2013 We board the Splendor 4 weeks from today, to sail to south America. Yay! We got a great price when we booked, but didn't get to choose our stateroom -- it is to be assigned to us. I keep checking once or twice a week to see if we have a room assignment yet, but nothing showing up yet on our booking under the "Manage your cruise" section of Carnival's website. Just for grins I was checking to see what cabins were going for on our cruise and got a "no cruise meets your criteria" message. In fact, I couldn't find ANY cruise available for the Splendor before it sails out of New York (after it's south America round-the-horn cruises). I guess that means all the cruises before that are sold out....? If so, I wonder if that means we'll get our room assignment soon? I'm excited -- and curious -- now!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted January 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2013 WOW, sounds like a GREAT cruise. Well, it's difficult to answer your question. I'm waiting on a TBA cabin myself. :confused: I've done that many, many times, and it can be most anytime from a month or more, to "find out at the pier". More often than not, for us, it's been assigned with about two weeks or so to go, but that certainly isn't the rule. Also, it seems that the later they assign the cabin, the better the upgrade is! :cool: Once again, not necessarily the rule, but that's the way it's been for us. GOOD LUCK, and whatever cabin you get, I know you'll enjoy that GREAT cruise. "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri910 Posted January 7, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks! I'm TRYING to be patient...but not having too much luck in that regard! *LOL* Anything better than bunk beds and I'll be happy! Heck, I'm happy to be cruising even if we wind up with bunk beds! *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri910 Posted January 10, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted January 10, 2013 OMG....I can't believe how anxious I am to get our stateroom assignment! *LOL* I keep checking and checking. We're only 24 days away from our sail date! Woo hoo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momto2inkc Posted January 11, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We got our cabin assignment today, 44 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthehighseas606 Posted January 11, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2013 When we booked our upcoming Inspiration cruise it was TBA. I checked a couple of weeks ago and we were assigned a cabin. No upgrade which means nothing to us - gee they could have done something special for us since we will have made platinum. :cool: You just have to keep checking and hopefully you will know where your cabin is before you leave. Have a nice trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QLUVS2CRUZ Posted January 11, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We've done two guaranty bookings...the first one we got our assignment probably 5 weeks out, and it was exactly the type of cabin we booked. The second one, I kept checking over and over and nothing, even the night before the cruise. When we got to the port, the porters had our assignment, and we had been upgraded, so sometimes if you have to hold out a little longer, it can be good news! Not always an upgrade, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri910 Posted January 11, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't think I've been this anxious and excited to find something out that I CAN'T find out, since we were waiting to find out if our first child would be a boy or a girl! *LOL* :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinthemed Posted January 11, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I hope you get your cabin soon...or maybe not! Since, from what others are saying...you might end up with a nice upgrade:) I, too am waiting cabin assignment. We usually choose a room, but added an extra cruise to our plans for the caribbean. It was such a great price for a resident rate (CA) & I'm just excited to be able to take 2 cruises (port hopping). After reading the posts, I will be more patient...I'd love an upgrade:) Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtytwo Posted January 11, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Got ours about 20 days before cruise date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a nice trip! We've been Platinum since 2007 and have never been visited by the upgrade fairy...but we've ALWAYS had fun! I'll keep checking every day! When I find out, I'll probably be one of those people trying to find photos/information about the room! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daijayx2 Posted January 11, 2013 #13 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We gave up our cove and were put into the guarantee pool on the Magic for our sailing on the 27th of this month late Sunday night. We got our cabin assignment Tuesday, 19 days from sailing. We got a balcony on the Lido. We also had booked an OV guarantee on the Fascination in March of 2012 and ended up mid ship on the upper deck. If I can remember right it was about 29 days from sailing when we received that assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyDD Posted January 12, 2013 #14 Share Posted January 12, 2013 We are on Conquest March 3. Only time we have not picked our room. Traveling 3 couples together. Hope we get our assigned cabin before sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooTycoon223 Posted January 12, 2013 #15 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The one time this happened was our first cruise. We got our room number when we dropped our luggage off when we arrived at the port before check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terri910 Posted January 12, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This just occurred to me: am I correct in assuming that once we've been assigned a stateroom, it will show up on our booking information when I log onto carnival.com?

terri910 Posted January 12, 2013 Author #19 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yes, your cabin number will be there once they assign it. Thanks. That's where I've been checking, and I had just remembered that it isn't always a good idea to "assume"! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookworm1985 Posted January 12, 2013 #20 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I was in your shoes a few weeks ago. I was assigned my room for my cruise next Saturday just before Christmas. The wait nearly killed me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicbuffalo Posted January 12, 2013 #21 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Enjoy what seems to be a spectacular cruise! I wish we would have booked your cruise! I wouldn't worry too much about what room you will have. You will be so busy enjoying the ports of calls that it won't matter! Bon Voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terri910 Posted February 2, 2013 Author #25 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Just checked.....we board day after tomorrow and finally have a room assignment. As far as I'm concerned we got upgraded! We booked the cheapest inside guarantee and are assigned to a 6B Ocean View, and mid-ship, too! Some other things are falling into place in the last 24 hours, too, so I'm doing a happy dance!!
