dustanltye Posted January 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2015 By pure luck and a good Christmas present my wife and I book a 7 day cruise on the carnival dream and have done last min several times and let carnival pick the cabin. This time I looked at choosing it my self and was only showing 1 cabin available so I backed up and let carnival choose for me at a great discount. Now its Thursday and no cabin and we leave Sunday. Any one every had this experience before? What to do about luggage tags? Thanks so much for any and all help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for luggage tags, the porters have tags for you and they will right your cabin number in. However, if you are concerned call Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted January 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2015 We got our guarantee cabin assignment 2 days before the sailing. We did try calling Carnival, but they couldn't tell us anything. I just kept checking our docs and it appeared late in the day two days before sailing. Carnival did tell me though when I called them, that the cabin could be assigned right up until the day of sailing, so as someone else posted, the porters have a manifest with the names and cabin numbers, so they will give you luggage tags. Just print out your boarding docs to make it easier to get on the ship, even though it may say TBA. Good luck and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N00B Posted January 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I've heard that the later your assignment, the better the chance for an upgrade. Maybe this is good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted January 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Sometimes you don't find out to check-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luluwa Posted January 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2015 It may be at checkout you actually find out. Porters have a manifest and can tag your luggage. Have a fantastic cruise! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted January 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) You will be fine. Carnival upsell fairy trying to find you a cabin. If not you get upgraded.

Elaine5715 Posted January 3, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 3, 2015 You are either going to have an awesome cabin or lousy cabin. Really no middle ground at this late date. Keep your fingers crossed! Maybe check for pack and go specials and see what pops up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trbarton Posted January 3, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 3, 2015 With NO stateroom assignment I would print out your boarding pass and luggage tags. The luggage tags show what ship your cursing on if you have checked luggage and something happens to your luggage. Even with no stateroom assignment you will still have documents. Please keep us posted as to what happens. Tom:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back-at-it Posted January 3, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 3, 2015 31 days to our cruise the TBA was removed and replaced with a balcony room mid ship one level below the Lido deck. Could not be happier with that cabin. I had emailed and got the same response that they could wait until you board. I told them I had the FTTF and they said OK, that did not make any difference.
