Lovely other Posted June 13, 2016 #301 Share Posted June 13, 2016 We finally got ours with 6 days to go ... Booked a N guarantee but was given a complimentary upgrade to an F guarantee ... Finally been assigned and we got a VH. Our first ever balcony as we always book whatever is cheapest so not bothered if the view is obstructed as I just like the idea of being able to get some fresh air when I wake up ... Very happy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesport Posted June 14, 2016 #304 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Leaving Saturday on the Westerdam from Seattle. 4 days out. no cabin yet. Booked a VH guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old As Dirt Mom Posted June 14, 2016 #305 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Leaving Saturday on the Westerdam from Seattle. 4 days out. no cabin yet. Booked a VH guarantee. Try printing your online luggage tags. Sometimes, that's where HAL first places your cabin assignment. I see that all verandahs, Signature suites, and Neptune suites are showing up as "sold out" on your cruise. That may not necessarily indicate that these cabins are actually sold out, but that HAL's mysterious department of revenue and inventory is busily assigning guarantee cabins. Good luck!

1ANGELCAT Posted June 14, 2016 #306 Share Posted June 14, 2016 5days out. Sailing Sunday. On Noordam Booked an N Guarantee. Nothing yet on the luggage tag. Have had 2 upgrade offers for the same amount, which were for the same price as a new booking on the website. Come on Seattle, stop playing games[emoji3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gts101997 Posted July 1, 2016 #318 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We just received an upsell for our Westerdam July 30th sailing out of Seattle. We had a SZ guarantee at a wonderful rate and received an upsell offer to a SA Neptune Suite on the Rotterdam Deck which we accepted. I think the offer was fair and still significantly below what the price for the Neptune Suite was advertised for. I am super excited! Our second time to Alaska. The first time was in a Neptune Suite on the Rotterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never sailed in one or in a Neptune for that matter so pretty excited either way to have that extra space on a 12 night cruise. I asked my TA to look out for an upsell though she said it's rare. But one can hope! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebhoward3 Posted July 2, 2016 #323 Share Posted July 2, 2016 We book Cat. SB for upcoming cruise departing 7/17/16. For last 7 or 8 months maybe longer suites have all been sold out, so I had not been checking prices and availability but once a month or so. Then just a week or so back I checked and there were 2 SB's and 6 SA's available on the website. A couple days later and the SB's were gone and the 6 SA's remained. A day later and the SA's were all gone. We still do not have our GUAR cabin assigned. I'm checking luggage tags 3 - times per day. Starting Sunday which will be 14 day out will probably increase the number of times I check. I don't understand why they didn't assign us one of the SB's or SA's while there were some available.

Who really knows what is left? HAL changes the "availability" on a daily basis sometimes. Generally the idea is that the longer you wait the better assignment you receive. Hope you do well and come back and let us know when and what happens!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
