serene56 Posted January 16, 2015 #27 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I was expecting your answers as I gave our situation more thought. While we booked a OV6c we only paid for a generic ov. Makes sense. Perhaps you know the answer to the next level of question. We booked April of 2014...almost a year out. We originally booked 6c as noted. Whentheystart to assign ov gty cabins is there any "list" ie do those who purchased gty earlier get the better cabins than someone who buys it today? As well we are cross referenced a a second cabinwhichdid the same changes. Will they trytokeep us somewhat close to each other? Picking your brains.....thx. Our first cruise was guaranteed with 6 cabins- we were all over the place on two different decks. Wanting to keep the cabins together somewhat gives you less choices. We didnt care/. Cant hang in the cabin together anyways and you always meeting us at your dining table. as for who gets what kind of cabin-- there is no ryme or reason to how they do thinks BUT in my reading it seems the people who paid more will get upgraded to the better deals. Since we book so early and we paid the cheapest rate-- our upgrades are not as good as others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted January 16, 2015 #30 Share Posted January 16, 2015 We booked a 6C ocean view cabin. It cost, I think $30.00 more than the base OV. On the Black Friday sale we opted to go with an OV guarantee as it saved us over$300.00. I thought we would be guaranteed a 6C at least, and as that is the highest ov category, I hoped we might get a balcony. Ami correct in my assumption? Thx Unless you are on the fantasy class ships the ocean views are on deck 1 and 2 Riveria and Main decks. these are category 6 A,B, C etc the letter denotes location 6 is oceanview. You can look at the deck plan and see the location of any of the oceanviews. (right now you are parked somewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffin Posted January 17, 2015 #31 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Right. I have perused the deckplans,andcan live with anything I get. Obviously some are better than others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffin Posted January 17, 2015 #32 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I willbe an expert on this when you guys answer my last question. After we are assigned our gty OV cabin,if I am online and see a different OV cabin come available when mock booking,can I phone and ask for a change if I like it better? We used a TA....would I phone her instead if it is possible. Thanks...I. Will stop bothering you now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted January 17, 2015 #33 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Carnival will not talk with you since your agent owns your booking. Once assigned if you want to change your cabin to another you will then be picking the a in and will pay for the cabin. But it will not hurt to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are okay with whatever you get, guarantee is the way to go. Enjoy your savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted January 17, 2015 #35 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I still don't think some understand what a GTY is. For a cheaper price you are giving control of your placement to the cruise line. You will likely end up with the lowest category in that class but you may be upgraded due to their selection system. You cannot book a GTY and assume you will be placed in the highest category or think you can later call and pick your own room if you are not happy. It does not work that way. You can save money and take the GTY chance or pay more and pick your own room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2Mich Posted January 17, 2015 #36 Share Posted January 17, 2015 In all of our cruises, we've only gotten one true category upgrade. We've never been assigned a bad cabin or in a terrible location. The only upgrade we ever got was on our 8 day Carnival cruise to Panama, Costa Rica, and Belize. We had booked an OV GTY and were assigned an obstructed view balcony. While we didn't have the greatest view from our balcony (we were looking at the top of a lifeboat), but we're thrilled to have a balcony at all, even with a not-so-great view, since we only paid for and were expecting a basic outside cabin. This was onboard Carnival Legend. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pick4player Posted January 17, 2015 Author #37 Share Posted January 17, 2015 hello i got a quote from a pvp for interior guarantee room . He said he would put me on the 7 deck instead of deck 6 riviera so i can have a room above and below me to cushion out the noise and give us a room in center of boat to minimize sea sick if we happen do get sick ,and have a prime location, we are 2 first time cruisers, im wondering if we will get 2 beds side by side that can turn into a queen or will we get a bunk bed type deal . we prefer the 2 beds pushed together as it will be a honeymoon cruise . Thanks for input I know there was alot of confusion about my original question and thanks for all info and reply's i just booked my cruise in a guaranteed interior room . Instead of a guarantee i guess the pvp just assigned me empress deck 7 th and gave us room 7311 . we chose anytime dining . I hope it all works out and runs smooth. we are on the carnival victory leaving mia june 22 for a 5 nite western Caribbean cruise . thanks to all on cc you guys rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
