freestyling Posted November 25, 2014 #51 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I hit the print luggage tag within my reservation on the HAL website to see my room number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dateacher Posted November 25, 2014 #52 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Does anyone know how the GTY works? Do the upgrades go to those who booked earlier or did it directly through HAL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted November 25, 2014 #53 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Does anyone know how the GTY works? Do the upgrades go to those who booked earlier or did it directly through HAL? They call it the "Upgrade Fairy" because nobody knows :D:D We book guarantee almost every time and haven't found any rhyme or reason to the system.

toledo_cruiser Posted November 25, 2014 #54 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) We just got our cabin assignment today 11/20 for our Eurodam cruise on 12/14. We're still awaiting our cabin and we sail the day before you do. Our roll call has been relatively quiet since you jumped ship to the Eurodam.

toledo_cruiser Posted November 25, 2014 #55 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ha! Ha! HAL must be reading this board. Got my Guarantee just moments ago. We're on the Upper Verandah deck by the external elevators. I don't intend on lying out in the buff so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem.

shipshapegirl Posted November 26, 2014 #57 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I am not sure how the guarantee works. We did not book our cruise, which leaves on Dec. 8th, until about a month ago. However, we did book directly with HAL. This was the first time I have ever decided to do a guarantee cabin, but I think this will be our new way of booking. We have been offered upsells before but have never been upgraded until this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windsor26 Posted November 26, 2014 #58 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We cruise 5th Dec on Oosterdam I booked guarantee cabin and this morning got an e-mail from HAL direct (I booked through an agent) of a completely obscured outside H cabin on deck 4 which sounds great - upgrade fairy thank you It however is wheelchair access and I wonder if what I have heard is correct that because it is wheelchair access there is no hanging space or drawers?? Room 4089 Any knowledge anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzywuzzy Posted November 26, 2014 #59 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Got our cabin assignment moments ago. A slight upgrade I think from a VF to VB. Yeaaaa. On Eurodam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzywuzzy Posted November 26, 2014 #61 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just wondering though why we were given a cabin that is connected to another? We didn't ask for adjoining cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxout Posted November 26, 2014 #63 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just wondering though why we were given a cabin that is connected to another? We didn't ask for adjoining cabins. They have most likely been holding them in inventory in case someone did need them or perhaps there was a cancellation (?) I have not heard of any noise problems from the adjoining room for these.

fuzzywuzzy Posted November 26, 2014 #64 Share Posted November 26, 2014 There is no reasoning with the thought process of the upgrade fairy :D Oh, I see. LOL. What's the difference between a VF and a VB? The verandah railing being see-through? I don't really like being on Deck 4 though. I was hoping for a higher level. Oh well.

I don't really like being on Deck 4 though. I was hoping for a higher level. Oh well. Actually, the deck 4 VB cabins are pretty nice. I believe the verandas on the VBs on deck 4 are larger than the verandas on the Vs on deck 5, 6 and 7. Friends of ours had a deck 4 VB on our last cruise on Westerdam and were very happy with the cabin and veranda. It seems like almost all of the VBs on deck 4 are connecting cabins.

Sea Belle Posted December 1, 2014 #70 Share Posted December 1, 2014 We booked a guarantee on the Maasdam for Dec. 12 and have not heard anything yet. Our assignment has never been a disappointment so I have my fingers and toes crossed. :D One time we didn't get the news until we were checking in and it was great news!
