Hi....I am just wondering if any of you who have booked a gar cabin, cat N were assigned your room numbers almost 2 months in advance?
Here's the story.....I called TA (someone who is working for a major online company, who I used last year) in June, to book a cat N gar for the Sept 26th sailing on the Dawn. I asked for the gar cat N (which was going for something like $499 at the time). I made the deposit with a credit card. The invoice from the company was mailed to the wrong address (actually to another party who I had booked for also, we are going with a few couples). I called the TA corrected the address. Then on the date the final payment was due I called and made the final payment. Today I get the invoice from the company saying that the final payment was made....and there was already an assigned room number (there are only 2 cabins in the N cat on the dawn). Isn't it a little early to be recieving your assinged room number??
I am wondering if the agent made a mistake and booked an assigned room # rather then a gar? After all there are only 2 cabins in Cat N so booking an assigned cabin would kinda defeat the purpose (and any hope of being upgraded by NCL)
When I called the agent today and asked why I was assigned a room number already, I was told that the cat N gar "must be sold out, thats why NCL has already assigned cabin numbers" but when I check online....the NCL web site is still offering them....the actual agency that I used was still offering them, as are several online agencys.
What should I do????? Actually when I took out the invoice sent to the wrong address, there is already an assigned cabin number on that also, that was back in June! (Shame on me for not double checking, thats what I get for trying to book 5 different cabins, all different cat levels, some assigned cabins)
Could the agent have made an error in the actual booking and booked an assigned cabin, cat N, rather then a gar cat N? What should, or can I do to rectify this problem? I don't mind getting an actual cabin in cat N if thats where the "chips fall" through NCL (with a gar you take your chances right) but i would hate to be given that cabin (with no chance of an upgrade through NCL) because of the agents error.
I will take any an all suggestions.....HELP

I told the agent we would be open to any upgrades that may come available, and was told to wait until we boarded to see if any were available. somehow, that just doesn't seem "right" to me.
