mikjr Posted June 20, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2007 We have a cruise coming up next year. I had originally wanted a mini suite with a balcony, but booked a regular balcony cabin because there were no mini suites available. We requested to be placed on the waiting list for a mini suite The very next day my TA calls and says we had a "mini suite guarantee" in a Catagory AB. So... what experiences have the CC members had with "cabin guarantees"?? Since I haven't been assigned a specific room, I'm a bit concerned... this is our first time booking a cruise with a Catagory Guarantee. How can... one day there be NO suites, and the very next day... suites available. Does Princess "QUALIFY" their passengers first before assigning the better rooms?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janabug Posted June 20, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2007 There may have ben a room on hold, someone who hasn't completed their booking then decided to cancel. If you are open minded to what category you end up with a guarantee is a great way to go, you never know, you may even be upgraded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysgrandma Posted June 20, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2007 It's fine if you don't care where your cabin is. If you want to ensure you don't get stuck above or below a public area on the ship - then a guarantee isn't the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted June 20, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Since your cruise is next year, from what we have seen and experienced. Princess is counting on many cancellations between now and final payment. You will be GURARANTEED an AB mini suite, or if one is not available, a category above that somewhere. No worrys, they will have that mini, in some category, ready and waiting for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
