Just got a call from our TA...we've been upgraded AGAIN!! We're now in a Category 11 SUITE!! WOO HOO!! That means we've been upgraded from an 8A to an 11, and STILL got a REFUND of $134 per cabin!!
THREE WEEKS AND COUNTING!!

Thats awesone...............who did you book thru?

We are thinking about going on the Pride in June.............would love to hear your comments when you return!

If anyone has experience with bestpricecruises.com would love some feedback! I have always used a TA and never booked online..........kind of nervous.

Have a great time!

What level did you end up with, When we got our room their was only 5 rooms left! We ended up staying in the Panarama deck, in the back of the ship room 8266

We're on the Verandah, not sure of a room yet because we're still only a "guarantee". There are only 4 cat 11's on the Verandah, and 2 are the ones with the wraparounds, so we're hoping for those (there are 4 of us, 2 cabins).

all you have to do if you know you are on that deck, is key in your booking number along with the cat 11 room numbers and that will tell you your room number. Go to Carnival, gifts and Services? to buy something, click on buying ex bar drinks, key in your booking number and the 4 room numbers, if you are assigned to one of the rooms, your info will show up, thats how I found our upgrade to cat 11 on the Panarama deck, the non-wrap around room, now that would have been SWEET!

Just checked, they are now listed available cat 11 rooms anymore, so they must have finally started assigning the final upgrades to cat 11, last friday they showed 4

In all my excitement I forgot about that method! I just checked and we're not specifically assigned to a room yet!

We just got our tickets for the Oct 26 Pride sailing...we have a guarantee..but our travel agent and carnival said they will not give our room numbers until we get there. We booked in March, and know there have been upgrades....Does anyone have any idea how to tell where we would be at???

Go to www.cruise-addicts.com/picturepost/

View a gallery, about half-way down on the drop-down gallery scale, titled 'Pride 1/19/02'

These photos are the best I have found so far.

We sail Cat. 11 wrap-around this November 23rd.

Enjoy your cruise.
