NCL reserves the right to change cabins if you picked a room category that is designated "Sail Away" or is "Handicap."

I just chatted to someone ,and she said it is a free upgrade ,deck 10 aft they think is better than deck 4 midship,

And sorry ,I am not sure what ‘sail away ‘ means

"Sail Away" is the lowest "booking category", within the types of staterooms.

I just checked the deck plans for The Pride-- Cabin 10519 is forward.  For me, it would be a wonderful upgrade.

Go to Norwegian's website: Explore- Cruise Ships- Pride (all the way to the bottom of the listing)--Click on Staterooms-- Deck 10.

 

Have a wonderful cruise

Personally, I would like 10519 better--it has cabins above and below it and I feel it would be a quieter cabin.  4071 has public space above it.

As mentioned, "Sail Away" rates are sometimes offered for inside, ocean view, and balcony categories.  They are the lowest rates for each category but, you do not get to pick your cabin and you do not get offered the free at sea drink, dining, or internet package.

Sail Away means just that. You get on the ship and sail away in whatever cabin they choose for you...and without any additional benefits such as drink package, specialty dining, etc. It's a bare-bones fare.

I wouldn’t have questioned the change if I hadn’t picked my cabin ,when we first booked 12 months ago ,it was only changed a few days ago and we weren’t notified ,Jist find it a bit odd .And no not a bare bones fare .

[morrowz]

Thankyou all ,I will have a great cruise I am sure .Was just thrown a bit ,when I saw the change .

[genealogyfan]

Wow, I can't believe NCL changed your cabin without your permission, when you picked a specific cabin and paid for that choice. I would be annoyed and upset too. Did you request an upgrade or something similar?

[morrowz]

No request for upgrade ,but we will go with the change ,we have never sailed so high up and always midship ,hoping the weather isn’t rough around Hawaii 

[dexddd]

At end of day, better cabin and location.  That route generally does not have much rough waters so really not an an issue re location.

 

Plus you are closer to buffet.

One thing to remember the next time you book a cruise, ask to have it noted that you do not want an upgrade. I usually do this because I am picky about my cabin location.

The terms and conditions of your cruise contract clearly state that is allowed.

I think most people would, but the two people I am traveling with in August and myself all selected inside rooms on the lowest possible floor as close to the center of the boat as possible, to avoid sea sickness. Swaying that high up would have us all green all the time. 😄 (I'm the least susceptible so will take a higher room if one of us gets moved.)

 

And someone else mentioned being close to the buffet - I find seven flights of stairs (we don't use the elevator) a great incentive against late night snacking! 😉 

 

OP - I hope you have a blast and the room works out great for you!

4071 also has crew space below it which may be active 24/7.
