Saver Fare: When do you get your cabin allocation

Hi

We have 5 weeks until our cruise, and I popped on the website to print off e-tickets etc and it said that I couldn't do it yet as cabin not allocated. Does anyone know when the cabin allocation will happen and I will be able to print off my docs. Thanks :D:confused::D

I think early saver is 5 weeks and saver is 2/3 weeks?

There is no set time. It's anywhere from booking to sailing. If you don't have it they say you sail, it will be assigned at port.

Thanks :D:D

We have sailed 4 times using the saver fare and each time were allocated our cabin 15 days before.

We went on an early saver in February with my parents and they got their cabin allocation 5 days before sailing

I had the allocations for my March 27 cruise 3 weeks before I sailed.

I spoke to P&O only last week. I believe the lady said imthey start allocating cabins three weeks before departure and this can csrry on until a week before your departure. I guess it all depends on type of cabin and anticipated further bookings. Weve found out about 18 days before our departure and been given a good cabin. Obviously if you dont hear within the last week give them a call

RCI have given me cabin number already for October 2017 , wish P and O were as sharp

We got our allocation exactly 4 weeks before departure.

The whole point of Saver Fares is that they are slotted in to what is available after all the other bookings, so will always be allocated later in the day especially if the cabins are still selling at the higher fares.

First time booking for us and it did state quite clearly it could be at embarkation before we know what cabin we are in so anythjng earlier will be a bonus.

We've always got our allocation on saver 2 weeks before.

How do you print your luggage tags if your cabin isn't allocated until you arrive at the port?

You let the P&O employees at the port write some luggage tags, or at least that is what I have done in the past.

We booked a cabin for 3 for August 2016 last October and Cabin number was allocated in November, early so maybe because it was a 3 ?

We booked early saver in August last year for June 16 & were allocated our cabin about 1 week after booking. I was amazed! Seems to be no hard and fast rules for allocation. There are 4 of us.

Enjoy your cruise.

9 weeks 3 days :)

Are you sure you booked Early Saver, as they don't allocate cabin until after Final Payment to avoid cancellations.

Booked a saver fare last weekend for a July cruise and logged into the cruise personaliser today to input passport details etc. I was amazed to see our cabin allocation there already!

The cabin is well located and a couple of grades higher than we paid for - result! :D

Just had our cabin allocations .... 3 and a half weeks before travel so not too bad. Situated aft of ship on Decks B and C so hopefully good as only other cabins above and below. Not cruised Oceana before so hoping those are good allocations.

Bit miffed at having to pay £10 pp per flight for seats on plane though to ensure we get to sit together. Thought that would be included.

Delighted you now have your cabin, TotallyAngelic. Having cabins above and below is always a good sign!

Unfortunately it is now the way of the airlines that we have to pay extra to guarantee sitting together. We don't usually bother and just take what comes even if we are split up, but I appreciate it is different if you have children.

Not long now, :)

It is indeed .. for some reason I assumed as this was all in the cruise fare it would be included, we didn't have to pay extra for our bags as you often do. If it were just my husband and I we would take the chance, but we have my Mum travelling with us and she likes to sit together so we really did it to keep her happy, as you do. No biggie really, just had the impression it would be included in the price.

Yes, I think they have us over a barrel really if it matters. We have been assigned seats together most times - but I bet we would be split up if it really did matter. Sod's law. But yes, it would make it a lot easier if included in the price.

I booked a 4 nighter for February 2017 as early saver last month and got a cabin allocated within days. Really bizarre - I was expecting it to be far later. Just hoping it's not a rubbish cabin that no one ever wants. :-)

Maybe we can help if we know which ship and cabin number.....?

Hi Jody75

Yes definitely early saver fare. We certainly didn't expect an allocation so early but very happy with what we got. Mind you we are first timers so maybe we just don't know enough :) Ventura C717 inside cabin. Views welcome.
