Guarantee balcony upgrade

If I book a guarantee balcony but there aren't any balconies left on the ship, will I be upgraded to a suite? :)

You are guaranteed at least a balcony. You may get upgraded to a mini.

Possibly - but also possible is that someone already in a balcony will be upgraded to a suite, opening up that balcony cabin for you.

The cruise is just a few days away, so don't they normally do upgrades before now? I thought if I booked this close to the date, it would just assign my room right away.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

On HAL some people who have booked guarantees months before the cruise have not gotten their cabin assignment until they got to the pier. It is hard to predict when you may get yours.

No balconies available does not mean that all have been assigned. There could be 5 unfilled balcony guarantees (including you) and 5 balconies unassigned.

They could also upgrade someone else to a mini and put you into what had been their balcony

Balcony to Suite? Not likely!

Not necessarily but could happen to junior suite but more likely a person of high status in a paid balcony will get the upgrade

They will likely upgrade those who paid full price for the balcony to give YOU a balcony. Don't count on an upgrade!

One never knows!!!!! My sister and b-i-l booked minimum guarantee 9 months ago for a cruise sailing in 3 weeks. They got their cabin assignment the other day....a balcony cabin!
