3 days until cruise and still no balcony assignment?

[June Bug]

This is our 25th cruise with Carnival, and even with TBA rooms, we’ve always found out our room assignment at least a week before sailing.  I called Carnival today and they told me that they must send/verify all final names/info to the ships at least 2 days prior to sailing so she’s not sure why we haven’t received our room number yet.  It’s really no big deal to us, but just wondered why they wait sometimes to assign a cabin?  I’ve seen some say they don’t find out till boarding.  That’s crazy it takes that long, but I guess wherever we are, at least we are onboard. 😂😂😂😂

They are looking for a broom closet with a balcony. 🤣 

Hopefully you'll come up a winner.

[June Bug]

Bahahaha!  Probably!  But hey!  I’d be ok, as long as they fed me and gave me a restroom to use! 😂😂😂😂

the manifest probably does not require room numbers...just souls on board.  With that, the upsell fairy is probably hard at work trying to get some additional $$ for CCL before they assign remaining cabins.

Probably…the woman did tell me all standard balconies were sold out, so maybe I WILL be upgraded to a broom closet with a bigger balcony! 😂

I am guessing that they are trying to accommodate all of the upgrades they are charging for to figure out rooms available for the TBA people. That is just my thought.

I also think this has something to do with the upsell fairy being hard at work.

Keep checking your account - maybe the cabin # will pop up.  Wouldn't it be sweet if you were upgraded to a suite!

I'd be losing my mind

Then you probably shouldn't be booking a TBA room, then. 🙂

 

There is always the risk that you won't be assigned a cabin until the very last minute.

It is suspenseful. I'm waiting now on my GTD assignment and I cruise in 4 days.

Just curious - which ship are you on?

[June Bug]

OK YALL!  It FINALLY POPPED UP!  Balcony cabin Deck 11!  Yay!  Right next door to a suite so I’m still jealous but I’ll take it. 😂😂😂😂

Um, it was a FREE BALCONY casino promo.  They chose the TBA…not me. 🙄

Free Casino Promo balcony room…I didn’t choose TBA.  They did.  You’d be a lunatic to turn that down. 😂🙄

I would spend even less time worrying about a free room - the worst cabin on the ship is still better than staying home! 😁

Congratulations!  Sounds like you got a good balcony.
