Balcony Guarantee on Indy on 6th Oct 12

[celticfc]

Hi All

Thinking about bookng this cruise, I am just off and cant wait to get back on.

Was considering a Balcony Guarantee which I have never done before always just book Balcony of my choice. Does anyone know how long do they usually take to assign you a cabin, and furthermore can you change it if you dont like the position?

They have got the cabin I want available however its £1000 more than a guarantee........... Oh the dilemma.

 

Thanks for any help or advice.

They can assign as soon as you make payment, or you won't know until you get to the pier. It varies and no one knows what will happen.

 

If you are assigned and there is another cabin IN THE EXACT SAME CATEGORY AS YOU HAVE BEEN PLACED available that you like better, call and ask to be moved to that cabin. You cannot change categories but you can change within the same category as placed. If you want to change categories, you'll have to pay the prevailing rate for it.

That's a pretty large price difference. I think I'd take my chances on the guarantee. Once your room is assigned you can call and see about switching it to a different room in the same category if you don't like what they give you.

Thanks guys for the advice, I think I will take my chance on the guarantee as you say the price difference is huge!! :D

Did a balcony guarantee a few years ago and got a D1. Remember our rules in the States are different to the UK as you don't say where you are from.

In the UK you cannot switch your GTY cabin within same category....this rule changed in May.

I've got a balcony guarantee on the Indy sailing next month and it took about 6 weeks to get my allocation and we've got a D1 so I'm pretty pleased as those cost more than my budget.
