Ack. 7050 is right in front of the elevator, and I'm sound sensitive! Has anyone cruised and had a room in front of the elevator? Will I lose my mind? I can sleep with ear plug!
thx
Snick, first time cruiser and beyond excited!!!
Yes, I believe in June it was around 10:30-10:45ish that we were crossing the parking deck bridge, waiting to be let into the terminal. We plan on arriving at a decent time since we'll likely be on the first shuttle from the hotel. Unfortunately the earliest Port Arrival time from the check in's that was available was 12-1230pm so I realize we won't get a lower boarding number but we'd rather be there and get things done and ready instead of being at the hotel going nuts!!Thanks Heather. I'll let you know how we make out. I'm hoping for the best!
Question: What time does everyone plan on arriving at the port?
I heard they don't start letting people in until 10:30 am. Is that right?
I hope we'll get on to eat lunch at a decent time since we are early eaters - we shall see.I'm so sorry to hear this and you're absolutely right - it's not fair at all. As others mentioned, I'd love to know the reasoning that is used. I lean more towards feeling like we will get the "left overs" at this point but as long as we get what we "paid" for - I really can't complain. We knew this was a gamble for the much lower price we paid 30 days out, but I tell ya - it's not likely happening again!So far no upgrades for us
They almost never upgrade us. You'd think they would upgrade us Platinum members every now and again
In soon to be 14 cruises with them we have only had 1 upgrade and that was on our very first cruise. Doesn't seem fair somehow.
I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks once we FINALLY get some cabin assignments. Let today be the day!! 
Thanks Heather. I'll let you know how we make out. I'm hoping for the best!

We will be trying our best as well! Hopefully there will be plenty of time to make a quick stop by to say hello. I'm hoping I won't have to be in line for the early dining requests *AND* cabin requests - lol - just kidding, I think!
I've noticed that too - quite a bit of verandah categories and you'd think they would upgrade people if anything to get them "hooked" on those balconies and possibly free up those that only want oceanview. However I totally understand the "fair" aspect of it too - should people get upgraded when others paid outright for them?
I hope it happens to us, but I understand if it doesn't

Hoping soon, very soon.....I was telling a friend earlier I'm at the point that I don't think I'm ever going to see a cabin assignment. I just pray I'm not on a conference call, log in to my iPad and check, see 4 numbers and SCREAM!
Heather
You are all cracking me up...and making me completely distracted from work! I keep reading up on your status to see if you all have received cabin numbers...and I'm asking myself "how does this affect me, and why am I so obsessed with keeping track of it?!" LOL! Good luck all!I'm SO tired of seeing:
Stateroom: Guaranteed Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah Category VGT, #GTY Makes me want to scream! I know I'll be pulling a major double-take when four numbers actually do pop up finally!
I wonder if the "3:00 hour" will be the lucky time today. I haven't had a chance to go back thru that IGT/OGT/VGT tracking thread to see if there were others in the past that were in our situation (down to 7 days). Just wondering for those people, when they actually got their assignment timewise. Maybe I'll investigate.
Here's to hoping something comes along today...at some point!

This feels like a form of cruel & unusual punishment but then I realize we'll be on the Dream in a week so it's all good. It's the little things though - like knowing where you'll be sleeping and such!

I know some of you might think we are crazy for declining an "upgrade", but going from a family stateroom (8C) to a smaller stateroom with a veranda (5C), just isn't considered an upgrade to us. Would much rather have the larger room! Plus, my oldest granddaughter was really looking forwarded to the big round window with the window seat! 
No one called me but I just checked my room number and we've been upgraded from an 8C to a 5C. We were originally booked in a 10 something and then I decided to pay for an upgrade to the 8C. I just checked now and we are in room 7050, which is a veranda 5C, just down the hall.
I'm a wee bit nervous with my kidlets, but I'll lay down the law about the veranda door!!! LOL
I'd heard that the rooms that can sleep 5 can get bumped up as they can fit more in that room. We are a group of 3. I didn't know that until after I upgraded.
Gosh, we went from an inside to a 5C for about 280 bucks, pre-cruise. Now that's what I'm talking about!!!
Best,
Snick : )
Bet you are glad that you finally heard! 
IBelieveInTheMagic said:Omg!! This is pure torture! We are out eating and like a nut I got so excited when I saw your post!!! Still no cabin for us
Kristin where are you guys? I need to live through you for now...
