Just for fun, and because it was a good thing to do last time, we took a guarantee for our sailing in August on the Veendam. Question is, we are 2 weeks from sailing and no cabin yet. How many of you do this? I'm just thrilled to be able to go back to Bermuda!
My TA swears that we will have the cabin she told us we were getting .The 2 other couples that are cruising with us were told the same thing by their respective TA's .

We booked the same way, 7 days to go and still no cabin assignment. I contacted HAL they said it would be 1-7 days prior to sailing before cabins would be assigned.
4 days to sailing and no cabin assignment!!-makes me more nervous than excited.
Question- For those who have had to wait until 3 days or less before sailing, why do you think it took so long? IOW, what causes assignments so close to sailing? Have your upgrades been better when assigned close to sailing or is that not relevant?
I tend to think that they are figuring out the cancellations. We also received an upsell a few days before sailing that we took gladly. We went to a lanai cabin, midship for $99.00 per person and we considered it a steal.
We had a wonderful time on that cruise and the air condioning on the August 8th sailing of the Veendam worked fine.
This is nerve racking!!! I really do not like leaving on the plane with no cabin assignment. 2 days until the ship leaves- no upsell no nothing. If they are trying to figure out cancellations- what happens if I get to pier and there are no cancellations? I will have already spent money on plane and pre-cruise hotel? Has this ever happened?
Did you book through a TA, internet agency or HAL? Whichever one you booked with, why don't you call them.
You may not know your cabin # until you get to the pier. I am sure it's nerve wracking but I really don't think you have anything to worry about as this has happened to others.

You would have avoided this problem had you booked a specific cabin. By purchasing a "guaranteed" cabin, you have to roll with the punches. I'm sure that you will have a cabin assignment prior to leaving your home or at the time you check in at the pier.
