I just got back from the travel agency, and was told they could not take over my reservation since I had already paid in full (I didn’t have an option to do otherwise, I’m guessing because I booked it less than two months before the sail date).  She brought up on her screen what is probably the same 4 passenger balcony state room for $7700 that the cruise line was trying to offer me.  I’d rather stick with what I have than to do that.
Question: do you all know when I can expect to get cabin room assignments (how many days before the sailing date?) for a guaranteed cabin?  
 
Thanks for all of the advice I have been given. This post got off to a rocky start, but finally settled in much better!

What you said about the room separation is likely the reason for them splitting up the adults.  It’s funny because on our last cruise, the kids had their own room and even though they were next door, we hardly saw them at night so it hardly mattered.  We all had WiFi and could contact each other whenever we needed to.  The kids are mature enough so having them in a different part of the ship doesn’t bother us but I understand why the ship cares for liability reasons.  The problem with swapping room keys would be that the room my wife and I end up with will have 2 twin beds, not exactly what we would want (at least not what I would want lol).
I now see the advantage of a TA.  I never had a problem booking on my own before on several previous cruises so I didn’t see the need.  Now I do, and I learned that maybe the hard way if I can’t get this resolved.  Even if I go to court and win, it’s a hassle.

Thanks for your remarks. I am definitely sticking around for help, although I can’t come back here every couple of hours or so, I might pop in and out after a day or two with stuff that’s going on.

Thanks, I am still here as you can see.
