We will be taking a cruise Feb. 11, 2007. When should I know my cabin assignment?? I will be putting our deposit next week. I know I have more than a year for the cruise, but I kind of would like to know where to expect my cabin. I also know it may change since it is over a year. This is our first cruise so we are kind of excited!!

If you want to know where your cabin is then pick a cabin-- its cheaper to book guarantee-
I book a set cabin number--coz like you I want to knwo where the cabin is. I booked my first 4 cruises as guarantees and never once got a upgrade. so I dont take the chance now.

What ship ya wanna sail?

We are sailing out of Tampa so it is the Miracle. We are going to book a balcony cabin. Does the Miracle have any balconies with obstructed view? thank you for your quick reply!

The best balcony cabin is the one you are staying in of course. Check the above link for deck plans and check out cabin 6232. the balcony on that cabin is VERY long. http://community.webshots.com/photo/231082601/293682914RhfvOj


BUt you can book a guarantee 8a. (Booking a gurantee balcony could get you a 7A obstructed baclony.) these are the only balconies that are obstructed on the Miracle.


(i am booked for the Caribbean Princess for February 18th, 2007 so I don tthink its ever too ealry to plan

Serene, I booked 6232 on the Pride; I really wanted that one. I felt the HP cabin was more apt to be "taken" away than a Quad as there are many quads available but HP's are rare although 6234 opened up, too.

Because I like to know exactly where my cabin is and not to have to fret over it for any length of time, I pick a cabin that we can live with and enjoy. Only once did we do a Category guarantee on a Princess ship and all the cabins accept one were sold out. We got a 3 category upgrade and it was a good location. I stressed over it so much, it wasn't worth the worrying. Always check out the diffence in cost from the lowest acceptable cabin category (guarantee) and an assigned cabin in the same category or higher. Sometime the difference isn't that large.

Behind the bow, but ahead of the stern and above the water line.

Okay..I have a question. My hubby & I are cruise virgins & we'll go on our cruise on 10/9 on Conquest. When we booked (we used Expedia)..we requested a particular cabin #...when our ticket arrived, it has that cabin# on it. Does that mean we most assuredly have that cabin# or will they change it?

Hello everyone, Today we put our deposit down and since we have 4 people in out cabin they assign you a room right away. They said that they do not have many quad cabins so they assign you a room with probably no upgrade!! Unless we ask at boarding time. So to answere my own question...as soon as I put in my deposit! Thank you to everyone who replied!

cabin 6232 is an excellent cabib for 4-- one of which goes very quickly- if youlook on the deck plans - you can see that it has an extra long balcony. (ya will need room to move when everyone is getting ready for dinner.
