I have pre-requested three for our British Isles cruise, and have confirmation emails. I do know that it's not carved in stone until we see the tickets in our suite, but I wanted those three BADLY, assuming they actually go. And I didn't want to run the chance of them selling out before I could speak for our space.
(R, it's so easy to get conused, isn't it? Kudos for jumping back in and admitting to your error)
