Native Floridian 26 Posted April 7, 2015 #255 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Hermitstyle, that was a free upgrade? Think your platinum status helped? Edited April 7, 2015 by tzais01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly1952 Posted April 7, 2015 #256 Share Posted April 7, 2015 How do you find out so early what your assigned room is? It depends on how quickly the ships cabins are booked up. When the percentage of empty cabins reach a certain number they are filled with those waiting for their assignment. Sometimes it is a day or two before you cruise that you find out where you will be sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermitstyle Posted April 8, 2015 #257 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Hermitstyle, that was a free upgrade? Think your platinum status helped? It was a free upgrade. They called me the morning of the cruise and asked if I wanted the free upgrade. They said it was because I was a valued platinum guest, but whether that is true or not is up to you to decide. When I arrived in the cabin, it still had all the information for the prior guests (they were both Platinum as well), so I'm sure my Platinum stuff was in my original stateroom. Only minor annoyance I had was even after going to guest services to explain the situation of my day of upgrade, they still had the prior guests attached to my cabin, so I kept being called Mr. Thomas (I'm a female) and I even got their S&S bill at the end of the cruise (no charges, so I'm assuming they canceled day of).

Native Floridian 26 Posted April 8, 2015 #258 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks for the details. Very nice upgrade indeed. We usually select our cabins due to noise issues, but are gambling on a guarantee for our May cruise. Not Platinum yet, just Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchoney Posted April 16, 2015 #259 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sail Date: May 16, 2015 Assigned @ 31 days out -- April 15, 2015 Ship: Splendor from Norfolk (2-Day Cruise To Nowhere) Balcony Guarantee Received: 8D(Verandah Deck) Indifferent about the assignment. Towards the back of the ship and it's an adjoining cabin. Wish that it were closer to the middle without a connecting cabin. Also, not sure how it will be under the Lido Deck. However, it's a weekend cruise so it can't be too bad😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will be just fine. Hey it's a cruise, it's got to be good, right? :):):) I knew what I was getting into when I made that reservation so I have no right to complain. As long as it's clean I'm a happy sailor!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurelai777 Posted April 19, 2015 #263 Share Posted April 19, 2015 We are 27 days out and no assignment yet. Getting excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTMills Posted April 21, 2015 #264 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So, we are 39 days out today and some who are booked on our cruise received their room assignment yesterday, I still have no room assignment. Do you think they don't do all of them at the same time? The girl I talked to had 4 in her room and we only have 2. Maybe that is the reason? I would think that ours would be coming really soon though!! So excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webecruzin2 Posted April 22, 2015 #266 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This will be our first Carnival cruise coming up May 11th on the Splendor out of Norfolk. We're Diamond and Elite with RCCL and Celebrity and never received an upgrade when we booked a guarantee with either of them. The departure port and the amazing price is what caught our eye, so took the chance and booked a balcony guarantee just yesterday. We'll be happy with whatever we get but very anxious to see what the cabin assignment will be. I'll post here as soon as we know our cabin #. Wish us luck! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webecruzin2 Posted April 23, 2015 #267 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just now checked our reservation and see that our cabin has been assigned and we're very happy with it. It's a cat. 8B L shaped cabin with large balcony Watched a youtube video on the same type of cabin on the deck just above ours and it looks just fine. Hardly much of a seating area since there's no sofa only a chair and table in an odd location in the corner. But the balcony looks to be at least 75 sq. ft. so we'll make good use of that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinxyB Posted May 8, 2015 #275 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Booked: April 15, 2015 Sail date: May 11, 2015 Ship: Splendor Date assigned: May 4, 2015 Class of guarantee: 1A Cabin assigned: 1A on main deck. Cabin has a twin bed and a convertible sofa and two portholes. Not too thrilled as I was hoping to get bumped up to at least a regular interior, but I got what I paid for. Price was $130pp less to take a 1A guarantee than pick an interior cabin so I am good with my decision. Edited May 8, 2015 by JinxyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
