Is it possible to book a specific room?

[NoobCroozer]

Hi,

 

 

Is it possible while booking online yourself without a TA to request and be granted a specific cabin on a ship? Or is it always a luck of the draw (within a given category I mean). If its not possible without a TA, how about WITH a TA.

 

 

Thanks!

Yes, you can book a specific cabin online through the website or with a PVP. In fact, using some codes, you have to book a specific cabin.

You can call 1-888-CARNIVAL and book a specific cabin,. They can also tell you which cabins are available at any given time.

I've always found ringing Carnival direct is the easiest way.

We always choose our room rather than book a "guarantee" because we don't like surprises.

 

We like to be as close to mid ship as possible and we like to make sure there are always rooms above and below us so we can be sure we don't wind up under the disco or under the pool deck.

 

We book directly through Carnival and because we are Past Guest have always gotten a great deal with prices usually than lower than the website.

 

Happy Sailing!!

As above, I always book a specific cabin through my PVP. I want to know exactly where I will be on the ship. I'd never do a 'guarantee'. I don't like surprises either.;)

You can also book a specific cabin on the Carnival website as long as it's in the drop down list they show you. You used to be able to manually enter a specific cabin and see if it was available or not. They took that ability away with the most recent web redesign a month or two ago. :( So now it would seem if you don't see a specific cabin you want in the drop down, you'll have to call to book.

You can request a specific Category and Room on-line (but the online only gives you a choice of 10 rooms, I claim the current 10 "worst rooms"), or via the PVP or TA - both of whom can see all the available rooms and should be able to help you select the best fit room for you out of those available. The other option is to book a Guarantee room in a specific category - where you will eventually be assigned a room in that Category or better, some where on the ship, sometime as late as check-in. ken

Well, I may be in the minority, but I usually take the guarantee because I always get an upgrade. As long as I'm on the ship - I'm good! :p

i like choosing my cabin..alway s aft. or near the gym..

 

and with a military rate..i can book for less than a guaratee and

get a nice 8B cabin..

[fllady61]

I do it all the time.. One reason we book early.

I seem to always use the guarantee option and have been upgraded each time. I have my room number already for the next cruise, so not sure if I will be upgraded or not. Either way I am happy just getting what I pay for.

Lulu and Traveler - You've both just been lucky! Definitely not all get upgrades. I would never take that chance. Slots is the only gambling I do.:D

[dmdiver]

we've always chosen our rooms to be sure they are side by side. just book a specific room, not a guarantee. the website will give you a list of room numbers, or you can call carnival & have their people tell you what is available.

I have used a PVP the last two cruises and have been very happy with the results. But, if you want a specific cabin, the earlier you book, the better. We booked our April 8C aft (now 8G) last December just to be sure we got exactly what we wanted. Mind you, we initially paid more, hoping the price would go down a bit before we go.

I always pick my cabin. I like to be Mid-ship

[sappygirl]

I always look on carnival's web site and pick the one I want then call them and book it.
