TBA Cabin Question

We just made a late decision a on quick get away cruise and for the first time ever, we used the "Carnival Assigned Cabin" option. When will they assign our cabin? The luggage tags say "TBA" and I'd rather see a cabin number on them :-)

54 days out/ I'd bet you'll be assigned soon. However, they can delay assignment clear up to the day you sail.

Thanks! 54 days will be tomorrow :-)

Only did the TBA once and we got our room number when we checked in a boarding.

What did you do about your luggage without a cabin number on the tag?

We did TBA and they assigned ours 3-4 weeks out.

The porters at the pier will have a passenger manifest and give you blank tags to fill in your cabin # which you will have by then at the latest.

I did TBA on my first cruise in 07. I was assigned main deck mid ship. That's when they still sent out the blue envelops with the cruise tickets and luggage tags. I found out then once I received my paperwork in the mail. My last cruise was kind of last min (34) days out on Fascination and I used TBA then an was assigned at about 23 days I think. This time upper deck midship. I would do a TBA cabin again. Especially if the rate was good.

We did this a week in advance and had our cabin number about 3 days before we sailed.

So, CruisinTrooper....are you and your family joining us on the Dream May 26? I, too, am in a TBA cabin. I switched to the Pack N Go rate for a balcony a few weeks ago and haven't seen an assignment yet. I don't really mind any balcony (would love an extended aft and not holding my breath) but the not knowing is killing me...lol...

Look forward to seeing you onboard if you are on this cruise.

Not the Dream this time - on the Ectasy for a little getaway. Maybe we'l see you about 15,000 others in the parking lot that morning though :-)

even if assigned before you hand your luggage over-- ask the porter to check the manifest for your cabin number. He will have a list of all passengers and cabin numbers. (take a sharpie to write in your number)
