SeaBands Posted February 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2018 we often book a guarantee and usually get assignment about 2-3 weeks out but not this time. We have had an offer to upgrade from Neptune to Pinnacle for $1500 pp.Maybe if the don't get any takers we might get it as a free upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted February 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You might be in for a very pleasant surprise :) I suspect you know to check your luggage tags as the assignments show there faster than on the Express Docs for some reason. Your assignment should be there any time. I don't know if you can put faith in this or not, but it seems that sometimes those that get late assignments get nice upgrades. Or, maybe you will get a real nice offer for that PS ;) Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieuwuser Posted February 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You may get lucky as the Rotterdam has 4 Pinnacle Suites but HAL's website shows all suites are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterBill99 Posted February 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2018 You may get lucky as the Rotterdam has 4 Pinnacle Suites but HAL's website shows all suites are sold out.But remember that they are probably factoring in the guarantees that they have to fill.

johnmik1 Posted February 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We did our first guarantee on HAL last year and received our cabin the day before we sailed.Since we were in Sydney,I had printed luggage tags with no cabin #'s an just filled them in.The ship was showing sold out for weeks before the cruise so I can't figure out why they waited till the last minute to assign cabins.

RuthC Posted February 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The ship was sold out! Which does not mean there wasn't room for upsells/upgrades. Even when every cabin is accounted for, there are still unassigned cabins that can be offered for upsell, which HAL would love to get more money for.

Upgrades and assignments continue right down to the day before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphy4 Posted February 19, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 19, 2018 With the guarantee once they assign you a cabin do they ever take it away and reassign you?? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr and Mrs CIQ Posted February 19, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 19, 2018 On our last cruise to Alaska we received a upsell offer while on the flight to Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sambamama Posted February 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The latest I ever got a cabin assignment was 2 days before sailing. I have to say the later I get an assignment, the better they are. I've been booking MM guarantees and ending up in outside cabins-a C once (that was the one I got 2 days before sailing) and on my South Pacific cruise-an FF.

We are on same cruise and got the same offer 2 weeks ago, then we got a second offer for $1250 pp last Thursday (Feb 15) I did not respond to either.

bd1958 Posted February 20, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hmmm. I'm on the Rotterdam March 4 for 7 days, Neptune guarantee. did not receive PS upgrade offer. To those who did receive offer, are you reserved room? Is that why you got the offer? Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd1958 Posted February 20, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ok, I take that back...if you are waiting for assignment that means you must be guarantee. Still don't understand why I was not offered upgrade/upsell. I'm working with a new TA and have specifically asked her to be on the lookout.

Hmm, last time that happened to my parents, they finally called and found out they were actually bumped from the cruise. It was Norwegian and they had made final payment. They had to fight to get their money back quickly. The line never let them know! Good luck! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
