If you book a guarantee you are NOT guaranteed a cabin until just before sailing. You can be upgraded and then downgraded to the category you originally booked your guarantee in. The people who originally booked that cabin as an assigned cabin have the right to request it back if it is given away and they are not satisfied with what they get in it's place. You are the one who booked the "guarantee" you get what is left over. This is not always bad.......I have booked category guarantees before and have been upgraded and upgraded well, but I always book the minimum category I would be happy with.....no matter where that cabin ends up being located.

Lana,
They can do just about anything they want as long as they give you a cabin of the same category or higher at boarding. We have always booked "guarantee" and at times it has worked out with an upgrade and sometimes not. You always should book a room that you will be happy with no matter what. FYI, we had it one time where we received the cruise tickets, arrived at the ship and found out we were assigned different staterooms than on the tickets. They were for the better so we didn't mind. Anything can happen....

Hi gang,
Do upgrades happens before you sail (i.e. I see it upgraded on my princess.com profile) or when they're actually checking you in, in the port? I've checked my sailing date on the Sapphire and found that the ship is full. Does that mean the chances of an upgrade is ZZZZZZERO? :)
Thanks..
(1.5 working day to go)

Yes upgrades on Princess usually happen before you sail......and if a ship is full, there is little chance of a further upgrade....sorry.

Thanks, I guess if you think about it, a room with an obstructed pothole is still fabulous!! :) thanks again, also for the info. on the Sterling dining room question.
