sitter Posted March 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Has anyone ever changed their cabin before the cruise? I keep checking online, & there is a better location that I would prefer. Same price.... Should I just call them...I have already recieved my Welcome Booklet with luggage tags.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arwenmark Posted March 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2009 People on here do it all the time. If you see something you like better there is usually no problem changing, both within your category and if you see a price drop often you can upgrade either for free or by paying the difference.

sitter Posted March 11, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Ok....what's an ~aft~ & is it a better cabin? I'm sure it's just personal preference.....but if you are new at this....which location is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_More_Often Posted March 11, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2009 For those of us who prefer being at the back end (aft) of the ship, where you can see forever, where there's less foot traffic, where you can smell the fresh bread being baked, where you're out of the wind no matter where you're headed, yes, aft is better!!!!! Much better. And those cabins generally book early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Wink* Posted March 11, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 11, 2009 One thing folks should be aware of, switching categories will most likely cause a loss in the promotion you received at booking. I say "most likely" because I've read cases where folks have been able to keep theirs. Whatever promotion is going on at the time of the change will be applied. As seen in the above posts, loss in promotion does not happen in the case of moving within the same category. This was a hard pill for us to swallow, but when we learned that a certain cabin had some great features, we really wanted it, so we ultimately lost $200 OBC and paid an additional $100 for the upgrade .

Luckily we were already in 2 BA's so no loss of OBC to switch to 2 AFT BA's. Our other cabin, a "G" has gone down in price but losing the OBC kills the deal.

irwins0001 Posted March 12, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can someone tell me how you know what cabins are available? Thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Luv2Cruz* Posted March 12, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can someone tell me how you know what cabins are available?Thanks!!!! I use the NCL site because after you choose a category, you can enter cabin numbers to see if they are available!;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peg013 Posted March 12, 2009 #17 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I use the NCL site because after you choose a category, you can enter cabin numbers to see if they are available!;):) This is same way I found the two AFTS. They didn't show up on any of the other sites I checked but when I entered their numbers at the NCL site they were available. Of course it had to be late Thursday night and I had to wait until my TA was in at 9 am Friday morning to actually book them. Both cabins we switched out of showed up on all sites almost immediately after the switch. So take advantage of manually checking for cabins that don't show up as the first picks.
