DVC cruise booking question

[tlwfun89]

so we booked a cabin for 2 a few months back on a cruise using points we called today and added 2 people low and behold our original cabin number became a GTY cabin. WE were not aware that adding 2 people would change the cabin. How is this handled by paying with points we've already paid?

Your cabin could have changed due to lifeboat requirement.

Do you know that your original cabin could sleep 4 ?

I think you should call DVC and talk to the CM who deals with cruise bookings.

Have a wonderful cruise! (I have been on 29 DCL cruises, with three more coming this year!)

They told me it did when I first booked and asked them because I knew we might be adding people

They said it did when we first booked because I made sure to ask because I knew we might be adding more later

Any modification to a cruise booked on points is supposedly done as a cancel & rebook. That may be why it changed to a GTY.

I did not know that. I hope the OP gets a cabin they like.

well I called this morning and apparently my cabin I originally had was not big enough as opposed to what they said was big enough so it was put in as a GTY and apparently they can book GTY cabins through DVC if available

It may very well be a lifeboat issue. If the lifeboat was full, you can't just drop 2 more people into that room.

Im not sure how lifeboat capacities are figured but if they still show multiple cabins in the same area with 2 each or 3 but not 4 persons and they are available that thats still more people and lifeboats available but Im just sayin hmmm

They are not going to sail those rooms empty.

I have been in 5528, so a bit more toward midship, we were pleased with the area, we had booked without an assigned cabin. One TV is the norm. Have fun!
