Is it too early to phone now for room allocation - if so, how early is not too early?! Thanks!

Originally Posted By nemopoppins I'm always told that I can put in a request for certain room orientation but that they can't guarantee it. I've gotten my wish about 3/4 of the time.

But I'm always getting discounted rooms, so maybe for full price they can guarantee?

Originally Posted By Steph-n-Kev Oh, that's lovely SuzieQ....so do I have to tell them we're on our honeymoon, or is it enough to request it and tell them it's our anniversary? How much extra does it cost?

I called and voiced a bit of a complaint, as this was supposed to be a suprise for my husband, then fiance, we were there to celebrate our engagement. I had also ordered the chocolate champagne bottle. We went to the poolside bar at the DH and waited an hour or so, then went back up, but no fancy turndown service, just a regular one and some cookies with the champagne and chocolate covered strawberies I had ordered. I had specificly asked for the "honeymoon" turndown service, and was disapointed until I had some champagne and chocolate, hee hee. Maybe they were being strict, as we weren't actualy married yet.... ;-) I just mean leave a very specific time, maybe an hour or two earlier than you plan on returning. The parks closed at 8 that night so I thought we were safe. In any case, enjoy, and I hope I wasn't too much of a party pooper.
