A very good Friday to one and all. 3 degrees and very dull and humid today in Montreal. Booking a cruise late seems NOT the thing to do&#33; Although we have paid the fare in full, we still have not got access to booking shore excursions or a stateroom number. We cannot order gifts to the stateroom obviously either.Carnival have told our agent that a room may not be known until at pierside the day of departure&#33; That will be a first for us after 16 cruises&#33; Neither do we have a known dining time as we are &quot;waitlisted&quot;.(This reminds me of overbooking on an aircraft with the airline asking people if they will give up their seat and take a later flight&#33;&#33;) I agree there are still 56 days to go but some of the shore ex: are &#39;limited&#39; and it would be very disappointing not to go on them.<br />Have a good day everyone.<br />Regards,<br />James.
