PathfinderEss Posted November 10, 2014 #26 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I followed a very similar post on the same subject a few weeks ago. It seemed some people received their allocation quite late on, which I found disturbing as I didnt feel comfortable about flying halfway round the world still without any cabin number for reference. However last Friday (7th) we had the notification, after checking the 'Print' baggage label first (as advised by so many on here), and there it finally was! Note: It took a further 12 hours to make it to the 'Your reservations' web page, but by that time we'd already printed off the express docs and the Baggage Labels. Maybe coincidence or not? but the info came through soon after the previous cruise had departed, so maybe thats when Seattle begin to look at those GTEE situations for the next cruise, and start allocating accordingly. We were upgraded from VF to a VB. So needless to say, we're Very Happy with that. Thank You Very Much, Holland America! Congratulations and have a great cruise.

shipshapegirl Posted November 11, 2014 #27 Share Posted November 11, 2014 We booked a guaranteed room for the Zuiderdam, 11 day Panama Canal. It leaves on December 8. Hopefully, we will all get nice upgrades, however, at times I wish I had just picked a room when I booked. Then, I wouldn't have all of this suspense:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freestyling Posted November 11, 2014 #29 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I enjoy the suspence of a gaurantee but have never had to wait longer than 7 days before cruise. Don't think I'd like the "suspence" any longer than that! Good luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted November 12, 2014 #33 Share Posted November 12, 2014 We received our cabin assignment today for our December 6 Westerdam sailing - nice midship location. 25 days out, that's the earliest I've ever heard of with HAL! Congrats on your good location. I guess we've been booking guarantees for so long that it doesn't bother me to wait, no matter how long it takes. I do know we'll have a cabin, and that's all that matters. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polySeraph Posted November 13, 2014 #35 Share Posted November 13, 2014 We are sailing on the Westerdam 11/29 and have just received our cabin assignment this morning. We booked a VH GTY a couple of weeks ago and were assigned a VB. It seems to be in a quiet location amidships so we're pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
