Guarantee Cabin- When and how assigned?

[kcheevious]

May 11/ Westerdam to Alaska

 

This will be our first cruise. I booked a VH guarantee.

 

I received our cabin assignment today; a VA on the navigation deck ... a nice surprise for our 10 year anniversary!

I wish Cruise Critic would start a Upgrade Fairy permanent thread, it is so much fun to read of everyone's experiences.

 

I agree that this would be a great permanent thread, however it could be an uphill battle as most of the regulars dont really care for the guarantee rooms. Never the less, I have noticed there is lots of interest in guarantees from those that pop in and out, success of room allocations and where they are etc, so go fo it. Since HAL offers so many guarantee rooms for sale, no doubt there are heaps of people interested, :D :D :D

It's a great thread to keep going, but it's most helpful when folks keep their info to HAL bookings only. It really has no relevance when someone reports their excellent guarantee booking upgrade to a suite on a Princess or RCI ship. Happy Sailing!

if you got yours today, and sail on the 11th, maybe I will get mine in 3 days since we sail on the 14th.....

I checked our reservation this morning- still showed a "guar"- checked it this afternoon and it shows the number of a "k" cabin... looks like the upgrade fairy visited- inside to inside up two floors.... woo hoo!!
