Is it because I’m low class?

Can anyone who is not Elite book a premium aft balcony on Enchanted for 2020 Thanksgiving? Mine says one. Would be assigned.

They sell cabins to anyone who can pay for them.  They don't reserve cabins hoping an elite will come along and book it.

[Notonboard]

So can someone else see if it gives them an aft premium balcony?

Everything I look at appears to be sold. Only a few aft mini's available (not true aft)

Quite a popular sailing.

Looks to me (when I logged in without my ID) like they are only taking guarantees.  That means that all of the premium aft balconies are reserved but there will be, no doubt, cancellations in the next year and a half.   If you choose 'allow Princess to assign before departure' you can't chose your deck but you will get at least that cabin category if not higher.

Oh man see I picked choose my on after midnight.So if they booked a guarantee premium aft means I’m on standby? 

[Notonboard]

Own even

If you have a guaranteed cabin, they can put you in any cabin that's in the same class you reserved OR HIGHER.  So a guarantee premium balcony does not guarantee you a premium balcony- they can put you in a mini-suite if they choose to.

The aft premium balcony you describe is a deluxe balcony, cat. D4. There are no higher cat. deluxe balcony cabins. If you book "cabin to be assigned later" you will receive a D4 cabin or a higher cat cabin. The next level cat. is a mini suite. Note that while all D4 cabins are aft, all of them do not face the stern of the ship. Some are port and starboard cabins.

Looks matter, not class. 🙂

lol hey thanks y’all! I was able to book.

Try saying you have 3 in your cabin. Sometimes they reserve them for 3 people - you can drop the 3rd person after booking.

Be aware that not all premium aft balconies are rear-facing on the stern. There are balconies designated premium on the side, too.

All it takes is money to book any cabin you want.
