2 weeks to go and no cabin assignment?

[PRNole47]

How do cruise lines generally approach the assignment of cabins?

 

I'm 2 weeks out from our cruise and still have no cabin assigned. Is there a reason for these delays or is it just luck of the draw, in that some cabins may be assigned early after booking and others, like mine, somewhat later?

 

Not that I care, really, since my cabin class is on decks I don't mind.

We just had our cabin assignment on Wed. night for tomorrow. That was only 3 days before....be patient.:D

Could get it any day or not until you board the ship. That's the fun of the guarantee.

[Krazy Kruizers]

HAL very rarely assigns cabins until the last 2 weeks before the cruise.

You could get assigned any time now. And then again you may not get you cabin assignment until you get to the pier.

Good Luck.

We are in the same {BOAT }.....

HAL starts guarantee assignments about 3 weeks out and the curve peaks at about 11 or 10 days out. For 9 assignments, our earliest was at 18 days and our latest at 3 days. Our most recent was at 6 days and the rest were at 11 or 10 days.

In my casr for Westerdam sailing June29th my assignment came on the 17th, so 12 days out. I got a nice upgrade from VH deck 4, my guarantee to VB on deck 6. Hang In there

We got our assignment on 2 days ago for our June 29th departure. i.e. 10 days before. I was told we might not get the assignment until boarding, so am very happy to have it already.

Our assignment on Zuiderdam was also VH to VB on deck 6.

Did you end up with a cabin in the category you booked or did you get an upgrade?

We were typing at the same time.

 

Congratulations on your upgrade as well.

Yes, we booked VH and got VB, which is on a higher deck.

Guess I am lucky or unlucky. Have known my cabin # for the past 6 months. Will it change? Does it matter if you book directly or with a travel agent?

OP you should be hearing about your cabin assingnment any time now.

Have a wonderful cruise.:)

It doesn't matter if you booked direct or with a TA. What does matter is whether you had your reservation marked as Do Not Upgrade. If you did not specify that, you could be moved, without approval by you, right up to sailing day.

Well, 11 days out and the assignment finally came: booked a BC 30 days ago and ended up with a B cabin.

 

Don't see any difference other than the location is somewhat more "midship" than "aft." Either way would have been fine for me.
