Herbaltees Posted February 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2018 My family is booked on an upcoming cruise on the glory. Today I noticed all of the categories have changed. The rooms numbers have remained the same, but the stateroom types have changed. (4A became 4G, 8D became 8B) Has this ever happened to anyone one? Does anyone know why?

firemanbobswife Posted February 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Are you sure? Where are you seeing this? Is it due to the free upgrades sale where you get “moved” up to a higher category? I’ve noticed the online TAs do this when you select your cabin type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this has anything to do with why fare viewer functionality went away. When is your sail date? I just did a mock booking on an external website for a July sail date and I see 4As available. Maybe your cabin category is sold out??

I see the difference on the cabin confirmation emails. For example, an old one shows a cabin type 8D for room 9262 on the Carnival Glory. They newest one shows cabin 9262 8B. We didn't change rooms, we just received the lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival Glory 11/17/2018 I preferred the fare viewer site. It was so much easier to check apples to apples, because you could specifically see all of the prices across cat 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen it like that but maybe that’s the pricing structure they used for your price drop with the current sale? That’s the only thing I can think of as I don’t see them rearranging all the categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpagejr Posted February 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2018 When the ship gets closer to being full.... I have seen the same cabin (at same price or no more than a $10 diff) shown under 8B,8C and 8D.... Same with insides. I think this is Carnivals way of showing all cabins as people surf their site and since they are shown at equal near equal prices...no big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the same thing. I have never received a cabin confirmation email refer to my cabin as one category, and then referred to another type in a subsequent email.

firemanbobswife Posted February 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Do you have a PVP? If not call Carnival and hope you get someone that knows what they’re talking about and ask them. I’m still thinking it has something to do with the pricing structure but that’s simply a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
