mkr9 Posted July 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Excited to book a cruise again! YAY! Normally, I can pick the room location when booking online...but that option does not seem available. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted July 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2021 You may have clicked on an option displayed for a rate that is for a guaranteed cabin. Either go back, or see if there's an option to view details, which might let you pick a different rate that allows you to pick your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crzndeb Posted July 4, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2021 When is your cruise? Is it soon? Guarantee’s may be all that’s left. When I was looking at Panorama for Dec., they had about 10 options (rates) to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mexicobob Posted July 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Just keep clicking options. You can still pick your cabin location. This is a scam Carnival uses to fill the worse cabins on the ship to people that do not know what they are doing. On the bright side you might save a few dollars if you fall for their con.

Certainly your opinion but there are plenty of times a GTY cabin is absolutely fine and can save a traveler significant money. We've done it several times always ending up with perfectly nice rooms. There's cabin classes where I'd never consider it and there's ships/classes where you'll know almost precisely what you'll get. Oh, and I assure you, we know exactly what we are doing after many, many cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Carnival ended up assigning me the room I was already in! That's one of the reasons I like Carnival so much. Other cruise lines may do that too, but Carnival did it for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mexicobob Posted July 6, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Perhaps I was too harsh in my criticism of GTY cabins. Apologize. However, glad someone else has had better luck than me and others I know with booking this type of cabin. Usually, there has been nothing wrong with the cabin................just very loud noise coming from above for one reason or another mainly at night or in the very early morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdr69 Posted July 6, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Does the CDC ship color status mean anything anymore? This ship is sailing i thought but they are still listed as Orange on the CDC website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
