Default How Can This Be?

I am booked on the Carnival Sensation (December 4th). A couple of other
folks are interested in joining us. When they called today, they were told
that all inside cabins are sold out. Isn't that unusual for that to happen
so early? Do you think that it will increase my chances of getting
upgraded? All we booked was an upper/lower guarantee. Also, is there any
way to find out if a large group has booked it? Finally, is it possible
that inside cabins will again become available?

Thanks,
Injun Joe

Not all that unusual. A lot of the space is committed to groups no doubt and if
those groups do not fill up then those blocked cabins go back to general
inventory. Suggest to your friends that they waitlist themselves for their
Category of choice and see what happens.

This particular/ship cruise has been blocked for group cruise TA's;
expect that ship to come loose cabins shortly.

sorry about that
