Question Help needed with locating our stateroom!!!

Booked an inside guarantee and have since learned that our cabin has been assigned... 9575 in the "N Category" (the bottom of the bottom, lol)

However, in checking deck plans for the Pearl, I see the "N category" cabins on deck 4... but stateroom #9575 on the 9th deck!

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

What is your question.

Yes, cabin #9575 will be on deck 9. I sounds like you booked a guarantee and were assigned to a JJ on deck 9.

Our details state the following:

Stateroom: 9579 Category: N
Two lower beds.

Not category JJ! I would really like to know for sure. Should I just call NCL directly?

Did you book with NCL directly?

If so, call them.


BTW...Your cabin changed. It was 9575, now it is 9579.

If you booked through NCL call anytime. If you use a TA call them.

Sorry!!! 9579!

It means you booked a category N, but have been assigned 9579 (which happens to be JJ).

A guarantee cabin means that you leave it up to them where they put you....and in your case your luck has held-out, and you're getting a JJ for the price of an N.

The cabin NUMBER is what counts (no pun intended).

Really, book category is different than your actual assignment. Just say thank you. You made out just fine. Does not always work that well.

If you learned of your cabin assignment from your cruise documents at my ncl, then don't sweat it. If not, sign in there, and verify what stateroom they are showing you in.

We were on the Jewel on October 30. We booked an AG guarantee and were assigned room 11612 (which is AF according to the deck plans) but our online information still showed AG with room 11612. So, I would not worry about it and just know that you have the room number set out. I think they leave the indication of the guarantee you booked.

Have a great cruise.

Even though you have been upgraded the documents states the category you originally booked. I don't know why but that is how NCL does it.

We booked a BB, got an upgrade to a BA - reservation now shows new BA cabin number but category still shows BB. Enjoy 9579!

I'm almost certain that the category should match the cabin number. That's a bit puzzling.

Not so with me.

My documents for two upcoming cruises say:

BA upgraded from BG for PofA this week (there was a price drop), this one booked thru an online agency, using Latitudes/regional discount.

and

BA upgraded from BC for Dawn Canada/N.E. next year (this was using 4 of those BofA credit card 100 point thingys) booked directly with NCL using military and Latitudes discounts.

I went back and checked my original reservation confirmation paperwork and that says BB-BB/9xxx for the category/stateroom. The new paperwork with the upgrade shows BB-BA/10xxx.

My reservation when looking up on My NCL shows Cat BB stateroom 10xxx.
