Upgrade question

[Mr. Bill]

Once the doucuments are received, is the stateroom assigment final?

In other words, does one assume that no upgrade is coming if the assignment on the doucument indicates the same stateroom type as originally booked?

Mr. Bill...not in our case! We booked 6024/6026 215 days ago. Every document came with those room numbers on them as did every email and everything from Dreams regarding my reservation. All the luggage tags showed those 2 connecting rooms and then lo and behold about 2 weeks ago we were informed by Dreams that we had been complimentary upgraded to 8504/8506. We were told just to use a black marker and cross out the old rooms and write in the new ones.

That's good news!

Still hoping for an upgrade. Budget restraints mandated the least expensive room. Would love to put (surrogate) granddaughter in a nicer stateroom.

Heidi...........

We were just in 8508 last week. That location is great. The forward elevators are the least busy and it was quiet.

If Maricar is still the room hostess when you get there, please tell her the Simpson family, from the 4/17 Eastern in 8508, says HI and Thank You. Maricar was the best room steward I've ever had in 5 cruises. You'll love her.

Ed--Glad to hear you loved the location! From being midway back at the very front on the 6th deck to almost dead front on deck 8 has me a little motion nervous but I'm sure with a little extra gin and meclizine I'll be fine!

I wrote down your information to see if I can pass it on to Maricar for you!!!

Thanks for the room info!

We also recieved an upgrade after getting our documents. We booked room 8038 way back in April of 2003 for our May 1st 2004 Eastern. We had gotten our docs confirming that room and then got a voice mail message from DCL about a week after getting our docs that we had been upgraded to 8548. So anything is possible!!

Heidi,

I wouldn't worry too much about the motion being any worse in the forward part of the ship. We had very rough seas last week (13 - 20 foot waves) and a 45 - 50 mph wind hitting us broadside. The ship was really rockin' and rollin', but the motion was pretty much the same wherever I went. Once things calmed down, it was great!

If you're worried about the motion, my advise would be to start taking 1/2 doses a couple of days before you board. We didn;t do that and poor DS paid the price.

Have a great trip!!!!!

Ed that's great to hear!!! I didn't think it would make much difference but we had a terrible experience on the lowest level at the very front on Norwegian and the front has always made me a little leery! I actually started taking the Meclizine on Sunday as flying and WDW tend to make me ill....now I just need to get there and all will be well! LOL

Thanks again!
Heidi

but I'm sure with a little extra gin and meclizine I'll be fine!

I thought you were going to be fine with a little extra gin and tonic

Here's hoping. I've booked what I would be happy with and can afford for the cruise I am taking my sister and 4 nieces and nephews on. I even managed to score SPHs. But I sure would love to get my most deserving sister a balcony room. Praying for pixie dust!

 

[hydster]

Jrabbit..darn it you're right..GIN AND TONIC!! The meclizine is an added bonus!! LOL

Fredms--here is hoping you get a well deserved upgrade!! I don't think we deserved one but oh well right??

Off to finish last minute packing!

Gosh darnit, Heidi!

How did you get out of the May 1st thread again! Haven't we told you a million times, no more gin until we get on the ship!

Hi Bill,

I've been checking around at some of the cruise reservation sites and it looks like we will be sailing on a full boat. Even the Disney cruise site is showing nothing available for May 27th. I don't know how that will affect an upgrade, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys.
