Funny thing is I was forward and now they moved me to aft. Never done forward before so Magic would have been my first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you where Mid Ship on the Magic cruise i would be calling. I have never done that far forward on any cruise. Have done slightly aft on 2. Always concerned about noise.

Good Luck with your choice as far as noise goes, the one good thing is that there are rooms both above and below, so no open spaces. i'm so torn. maybe i'll just leave it as is and see if i can find something redeeming about the front of the ship! what if i find that it is some hidden secret and secretly everyone says 'stay away from the front' so they can steal alll of the good rooms? lol. i'll prolly just leave it. i'm just glad to have a balcony on this one.

Thanks, it still has TBA on the Carnival website. I confirmed my cancellation deadline so I guess I'm going to wait it out but just kind of curious how many others still don't have it.

I love forward cabins. Tends to be quieter. The only real drawback is if you are prone to motion sickness, there is a lot more motion up there. The distance for walking may get to some, but I always figured it's an easy opportunity to burn a few of those extra calories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of a complicated situation, this is the third rebooking from covid for various reasons so I'd like to keep the OBC we got from covid. I haven't been able to find anything equivalent for price yet to request a switch. Plus I used AARP gift cards that I may or may not still to process a refund and I'd be stuck with Carnival anyways. 1 hour ago, Jamericannn said: What kind of cabin were you assigned to?

Venezia has exactly two cabins that match this and since it's an ocean suite, there's no upgrade that I see possible. I think there are about half the total suites on Venezia (18?) compared to the Magic (40?). Edited December 9, 2022 by detroitavant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooleman56 Posted December 9, 2022 #314 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) We are booked on the July 25th cruise, originally a Magic booking, through a casino offer. Stateroom is still showing as Suite (Ocean Suite) TBA. The other stateroom on the booking, for my daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons, is a Balcony cabin that was assigned a new stateroom # within days of the ship change announcement. I don't plan to make any additional payment or book a third cabin for my son who has now decided that he will be able to get time off to go until the Suite TBA has been assigned.

So I added my booking number and it brought up my cruise. I went to print luggage tags and found out my room. It was an adjoining on deck 8-was able to change to non adjoining thru my PVP. Go to cruise planner and make sure cruise booking is listed otherwise add it and should bring up room Best of luck-feel like this hasn't been handled the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPNYGuy Posted December 23, 2022 #317 Share Posted December 23, 2022 On 11/22/2022 at 8:26 AM, UPNYGuy said: I mentioned on another thread that I have two bookings on Venezia currently. The first sailing on NYC (booked it for **** and giggles), and one in October. All the Terrazza cabins were not even showing up, not even marked as sold out for the first summer sailings. I grabbed one of the square inside cabins on deck 2. 4 days? I'll be fine with one of the large square inside. I usually go Havana on Vista or larger (or Terrazza on the Venezia sailing I have in October). I am wondering if the Terrazza cabins are being reserved for those being inconvenienced by the redeployment. Guess we wont know until things shake out. FINALLY was able to call and get myself moved into a Terrazza interior for the inaugural Bermuda run. Was thinking about the cabana, but I have one in October, and for 4 days it wont be a deal breaker. Not having the Terrazza was increasingly becoming one though.

I chose my stateroom when I booked. So I think it’s kind of ridiculous that people who were already booked haven’t been assigned rooms or had the option to choose. So if you already knew another ship would be coming in, why did you not wait and pick what cabin you wanted? Not looking to start an argument, just a genuine question.

We booked a specific cabin on the Magic and are still waiting for an assignment on the Venezia. Reads TBD still and our TA has said that Carnival is telling them it's now a guarantee. I think I mentioned it before, but we had an OS w/4 passengers and Venezia only has two cabins with that configuration and no cabins classes above OS so I don't see how any upgrade would be possible. No one can tell me what happens if we show up with a guarantee and nothing is available. I still have time left on my cancellation dates, but I'm wondering if anyone else is still waiting. If nothing else, bumping this back up to the top so everyone else is aware of how Carnival is handling this situation in case anyone else gets in a similar situation.
