sccruise Posted October 24, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2006 My husband and I booked our first cruise on the Carnival Glory...sailing in 25 days...can't wait! We paid for a guarantee oceanview cabin. When we received the cruise documents early this month, I noticed that we were assigned a balcony cabin. I thought the cabin assignment would be given on the day of the cruise. Since my documents show a certain cabin...what are the chances that carnival will change our assignment before the cruise?

kitty9 Posted October 24, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2006 You got what your documents say and the chance for a change is slim. You got an upgrade, congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walsky Posted October 24, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2006 CONGRATULATIONS on your first cruise upgrade. If you have a cabin assignment on your documents, Carnival will not change it, unless they are going to up grade you again. Have a great cruise. Have 34 cruises under my belt and still looking for my FIRST up grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccruise Posted October 27, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted October 27, 2006 One more question...someone was telling me that sometimes you can get upgrades when boarding. How often does that happen? Is it automatic or do you ask for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKB Posted October 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have not heard of anyone getting upgrades at port. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen...just have not heard of it. CONGRATS! Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted October 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Cruise ships are sailing full, so don't count on any upgrades. Plus, the days of free upgrades are pretty well over. They will do upsells, where you pay the difference between the cabin you paid for and the one you want to change to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted October 28, 2006 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2006 One more question...someone was telling me that sometimes you can get upgrades when boarding. How often does that happen? Is it automatic or do you ask for it? The last time i can remember upgrade offers at the pier was in 1999. Most of the time you will see the sign thats says "no upgrades" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted October 28, 2006 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2006 ...someone was telling me that sometimes you can get upgrades when boarding.....quote] Someone's dreaming.:D Since the ships sail at almost full capacity, it's very rare that ANY cabins are available the day of sailing. IF by chance an upgrade was available, you'd have to pay the difference. However, on each of my cruises I've seen signs at the purser's desk - "no available cabins".

I'm confused -- do you not want the balcony cabin? Why would you want to change again? The upgrade you got was great - and free! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade you got was great - and free! Congrats! I TOTALLY want the balcony!!! I do feel lucky...I just asked because I don't want to look forward to a balcony room to find out - when boarding - that Carnival decided to move us to a oceanview room. I can't wait to have a balcony room!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
