Has anyone got/had a Nov or Dec 2023 room moved by Disney? If so which ship please and what was your original room# and what was the new room #?

Pretty much just curious about the answer to the question above

I was moved 3x for a Wonder cruise last year. But my current date is sold out now. Thought I suspect they will move people from the lower decks up. And maybe reopen up booking again soon.

Did you book a specific room and not GTY, and they just randomly moved you three times? Wow. I've never been moved in 11 cruises, including some GTY cruises, and I've sailed repeatedly in November/December.

I've never heard of someone being moved. Did you book GTY?

Have never been moved and haven’t been notified of being moved for our Xmas cruise. We weren’t even moved when we quarantined for our son’s Covid in summer 2022.

I suspect they will move people from the lower decks up.

This is not standard practice. Many folks intentionally book a room on a lower deck. If you book a specific stateroom (selected when you booked) it is very unlikely you will be moved. If you have already received a stateroom assignment for a GTY or *GT booking, possible but still unlikely to be reassigned.

Lots of room changes during the Covid restart. That is not happening anymore and hasn’t been for probably a year or more.

Did they tell you why they moved you? As the others have noted it is rare for a room to be changed especially when booking a specific room. I'm curious what would make them do that.

For now, I wouldn't be too worried about being moved this time, but I can certainly see why you would be. Good luck!

We were on the Dream in Nov on a room that we chose (no guarantee room rate like we wanted that room and chose it), we ended up staying in it the whole time but after 2 nights where the AC was just not cooling adequately, they did give us a loaner room for the night (or truly for a couple hours - I finally went to GS around 3 am after tossing and turning and left the loaner room at 6 am) and they had someone go inspect the room for any issues while we were at port. The GS guy was shocked I had returned it so early, but we had a PA we had to get to! I will say they never came to a solution why it wasn’t quite cooling correctly. I just sucked it up the rest of the time. It wasn’t until we were packing up the night before debarkation that I noticed the sheer curtain was blowing around one of the seals on the verandah door… so I think that was the issue. Too late now. We told GS before they left, so hopefully they took action on it. But that was our first and only experience with not being in the same room we had booked. I don’t think this answers your question, but it could be why they are having to move people around. Like they are realizing issues and need them to be empty to be fixed. But just my guess????? I could be wrong!! Just giving you our experience.

We've twice been moved from a chosen cabin. Once we were upgraded to a cat 4A and once we were moved down the hall to a room in the same category. I'm guessing the first time was maybe rebalancing workloads and the ability to sell our original category more easily because it was a Med cruise that wasn't full and didn't have many children. The second time I'm guessing may have been a maintenance issue in the original room.

Yes, I always choose room 2020 because I like the window and layout of the room. I most prefer the front elevators though.

I've never heard of someone being moved. Did you book GTY?

No room 2020 just like the window, layout, elevator placement and lack of foot traffic.

It was my transatlantic, and I initially chose room 2020.

lol, tell me why…
No but my first and second room had been blocked off from the public with closed doors that I had never seen before. Actually there was a blocked off area on the lower deck of the Fantasy a few months earlier. It was our first sailing upon Covid reopening.

lol, tell me why…

DCL did make a lot of room changes during the restart, and that was probably still occurring last year for your TA cruise -- especially since it may have been the first (or one of the first) long cruises with some level of covid protocols still in place. I think deck 2 was often used for quarantine. I would not expect similar changes to occur now.

I kind of thought the room movement would be over for the Covid reasons. Although I think some of the movement that we had was due to training of Wish employees. Perhaps the isolation that they had to have prior to working back then. Several employees had told me that new people were on the ship and they were in isolation. Though this seems like a weird time to start that with the blackout dates during Very Merry. Our cruise was not offered 3 1/2 weeks prior to our sail date 12/18/2023.

Through other media, I found that the December 20-25 and December 25- 30 cruises had huge amounts of sick individuals. More sick individuals than on my 11 day transatlantic cruise. So for a five day cruise I was really shocked that many people could get sick in a short amount of time. This is Cruise number 10 for me, so I’m obviously not afraid to cruise. I don’t like people blowing things up out of proportion and calling cruises a petri dish. I didn’t feel appropriate, asking people their symptoms since I didn’t go on that cruise and I was just asking for details regarding their experience regarding itinerary and navigator questions.
I can’t exactly tell what these people were sick from. it seemed like it could be RSV, cold and flu, Covid-yes, or neurovirus(probably spelled wrong, ugh) Many of them explaining entire rooms came home sick or showed up sick 12 to 24 hours after they got home.
So I’m of the belief that the crew has had it now and we are all good. We take precautions and haven’t been sick after any cruise (knock on wood).

So anyway that was why I asked here to see if anyone was moved. Just checking the lay of the land. Since we are in a handicapped room this time, I know we won’t be moved.

It’s going to be a good trip.
