Guarantee Cabin

TA is telling me that cabin cannot be changed after assigned. Changed many times in the past to another in same category. Did the rules change?

The rules are the same.  There are a few obstacles, though.

 

1. I think that your TA has to call, and it sounds like your TA can't be bothered.

 

2. It must be the absolute identical category.  Not just "D", for example, but 2D or 3D or 4D.

 

3. Most significant:   Not in all cases, but in most, assignments are not made until the last minute, and by then there are no choices left.

Even if the assignment isn’t truly last minute, you still might not be able to switch.  My last couple assignments were each made 30 days out.  In both cases my assigned category was already sold out; the cruises were nearly sold out.

Booked cruise on Sunday (29 days out)

1D cat. cabin assigned Monday AM (28 days out)

Saw a "better" 1D was available

Emailed TA to switch

Switch completed 

New eDocs and Luggage Tags issued Monday PM

 

YMMV

I hope that lightning strikes twice for the OP!
