Final payment today, now we wait!!!

[keystonemama]

We cruise in 30 days, now I wait for my assigned cabin, anticipation!!! I tried to get into my cruise manager and it has locked me out. Boo.

Trying to check to make sure my Priority boarding is listed and if they changed my status to Gold. It has been down a lot lately. Liberty here I come!

 

I admit, I check at midnight every night just to see the countdown, lol, I guess you could say we are addicted. :p

Single digit dance before you know it!

Yes, check that...our last two cruises didn't have Priority on our boarding pass or our luggage tags. I called last time and Carnival said it was because our TA had not put us in as Platinum and I had to call them...I thought our past guest numbers would have indicated that and it would be there automatically!

Keystonemama: proud mother of a Devil Dog right here. Ooh rah!

We are 31 days out for our cruise and they did the room assignment early this morning.

[Deanaboy]

I am very excited as well. I am waiting on my Balcony room assignment. I booked Guarantee cabin before and were assigned three days after the final payment. I was told today we will be assigned our balcony cabin a few days before we sail. Aug 31, wow to excited to know where I will be Dreaming for a week on the Dream. :)

I did manage to check it today for a short period of time, it's shows me gold and to the left on my ticket it does not say priority but it does have the Faster to the Fun logo, I have not checked my luggage tags yet though.

I am 28 and still waiting...there are still quite a few cabins open from I can see, maybe they are trying to fill those first for a higher price before assigning ours?

Proud is sooo right, I am going to brag a little...my baby, all 6 ft. 5 of him,:p goes to boot camp in October. We never expected him to join the military. He wants to be a doctor. He studied hard in high school, graduated with AA with dual enrollment by the age of 17. Enrolled in UF, studied in psychology and languages, he speaks Russian, Latin, some Chinese, was working on his BA. Surprises us one night with, "Oh, by the way I joined the Marines." What? I think it's for the challenge.

They liked his scores, have made him guide over his squad and sent him to MEPS in Jax for the Intelligence exam. He scored the highest of any recruit to come out of Gainesville, Florida! Ooh rah! In doing so, he has secured the open Intelligence position before going to boot camp. He is so excited. Now he tells me he may learn Arabic and still wants to be a doctor. He turned 21 last week, my baby is all grown up!

 

Now I just pray. :)

So I got my cabin assigned today, 6B, cabin 1395 on Liberty.

 

When I look this room up it says it is a "connecting cabin", anything I need to know about these? I have never had one. Do you just lock it from your side with a bolt lock?

 

If anyone has any pics that would be great.

 

 

Thanks

You lock it from your side and the other occupant locks it from theirs, are 2 doors. We had a connecting cabin once and it was noisier than a non connecting one, you do hear "things" from the other cabin.

Gold does not get you Priority. That is for Platinum members only. Since you are FTTF that is what is shown on your documents and luggage tags, so as not to get confused with the Platinum Priority. You will have your own separate check in for FTTF. And you are supposed to board after the Platinum Priority.

 

I am also Gold and have been for awhile and do not get Priority. I do get it when I am in the same cabin as my son, who is Platinum. After the 2 cruises I have booked I will be up to 71 days. That means if I book a cruise of 4 or more days I will then be Platinum. So I will be looking forward to that and then having Priority on my documents.

Okay, I am thinking unless I have really bad neighbors it won't be a problem, we usually are up until 2 a.m. most nights and hardly in the room, so maybe everyone will be sleeping by then. :)

 

I wonder if the room is any larger because of the door. I guess we will find out.

Yes, thank you for the explanation, I thought I saw on CCL website where it gave an example which stated Priority. It's my first FTTF purchase and we did it this time because it's sooo hot in August, we want to ditch all the luggage and cokes, plus receive my luggage early so I can prepare our clothes for the Steak house the first night. I still have shopping to do! Getting excited!

I did forget to mention that since you are now Gold you will receive an invite to the party. There you get some appetizers and a couple of free drinks. It isn't the greatest but you might enjoy it. It is better than it used to be.
