steelhead1 Posted August 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2016 We just made our final payment for our Oct. 27th Regal cruise. We booked a guarantee cabin for first time and wondering how Princess notifies of our cabin assignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted August 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2016 You will most likely be notified via email or by your TA if you have one. You also may not find out what cabin you have until you get to the dock. It's been known to happen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted August 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2016 You can also check your Cruise Personalizer every day :D Been there, done that. It's available to look at up to something like 48 hours before lift off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the majority of the Personalizer is unavailable around 5 days or less before ones cruise you can still access bag tags/travel summary up to sailing day which will display current cabin info.

Rare Musky Ike Posted August 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) I have always had to find out myself by looking at the booking. That's how I find out now. Back years ago when I booked direct with Princess, they would send an email, but the TA's I have used do not. No big deal as I am a habitual personalizer checker :rolleyes: Edited August 10, 2016 by Musky Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn Mom Posted August 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2016 My daughter once did not find out until a week before the cruise. It can be nerve-racking, but she got an upgrade so it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted August 10, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I start checking the Cruise Personalizer a week before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted August 10, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2016 My friend did not know until he got to the ship and he was not happy with the cabin he was given:eek: :eek: Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted August 10, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Two scenarios: I booked an IF gty for the Emerald last March. I received my cabin the night before the cruise. I was placed in an IB. I booked an IF gty for the Diamond in January 2017. I received cabin assignment 1 week after booking- final payment is not due until October. I am in an IF. Who knows ?????

gatorguy56 Posted August 10, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2016 We received our luggage tags with the room assignment in the mail a week before we sailed. We booked a BF guarantee and were upgraded to a BA. We were very happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorguy56 Posted August 10, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2016 This was 3 years ago. I don't know if they still do it like that. We had US Direct too in Vancouver and it was great. I understand they aren't doing that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted August 10, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If you booked directly with Princess, they will either e-mail or call you. If your booking is with a TA, they will notify the TA who is then supposed to notify you. As others said, checking the Personalizer may end up being the fastest way to know. I have been assigned a cabin as soon as one hour after booking (cruise was a number of months away) to as late as 24 hours before embarkation. Most of the time lately, it was been within the last two weeks before sailing. By the way, if you do not like the location of the cabin you are assigned, you can be switched to any other available cabin in the exact same category by calling your TA or Princess if not using a TA.

steelhead1 Posted August 10, 2016 Author #16 Share Posted August 10, 2016 We knew booking a guarantee would be a crap shoot of sorts as far as cabin assignment but we are gambling a bit hoping for an upgrade. Kind of adds to the overall excitement and adventure to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of adds to the overall excitement and adventure to the cruise. I am also on your sailing, we just booked the cruise last weekend and booked a balcony guarantee, we found an agency offering this for the same price as inside. Keep checking your cruise personalizer for cabin assignment! Now that final payment is here, I would expect to see all of us with guarantees get cabins shortly. Lately Princess like other lines, has done more upselling than giving free upgrades, but you never know as this voyage appears to have a lot of availability. On our last cruise the upsell email arrived about 3 weeks prior to sailing. We had done a balcony guarantee, loved the assigned cabin location and did not do the upsell to mini-suite.

muggo11 Posted August 13, 2016 #23 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We also booked a guarantee IF interior for sailing on Aug 19. On the 10th we got a moveover offer but couldn't say yes to it. Today, the 12th, we got an upgrade to an IE. So a week before our cruise we know our cabin location. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead1 Posted August 13, 2016 Author #24 Share Posted August 13, 2016 So now that we have our cabin assignment and balcony upgrade, chance of getting a mini suite upgrade? One can only hope right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted August 13, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) So now that we have our cabin assignment and balcony upgrade, chance of getting a mini suite upgrade? One can only hope right? Your chances are zip to nil.... But you can always dream! Good luck! As far as getting luggage tags in the mail, I've been sailing with Princess since 2010 and have never seen this. I've always had to print them out....
