Question Would I be able to get 3 cabins in a row with GTY reservations?

We are sailing in under 3 weeks and I'm debating about switching our cabins.

We currently have 3 cabins booked..1 E2 (for DH & I) & across the hall 2 connecting PRs for the kids.

Prices for some of the cabins are coming down and for close to the same price I can switch to 3 GTY balcony cabins. My concern is not having the cabins directly in a row, which is what I would need with the kids. If RCI knows the kids are in their own cabins will they automatically give us 3 cabins in a row?

If not, I won't switch and wait and see if the cabins we are in come down in price. A little extra OBC would be nice!

I believe to do a guaranty you are going to have an adult booked in each reservation/cabin.

I'd stick with the current setup and wouldn't risk getting separated and all that jazz.

there is a very good chance you won't even be on the same deck, I wouldn't take the chance.

We often miss out on a GTY low price, as we have our kids in a seperate cabin and they have to be across from us.

You'd be lucky to get 2 in a row let alone 3.

kids may like that PR's better then a balcony. More entertainment for them to look at
I know my kids would have loved a PR when they were younger..

Technically no. But we lucked out last January and were able to get 2 guarantee's together w/ kids across the hall in an interior. We waited until both rooms were assigned and made a phone call and "killed them with kindness" and explained the situation about needing rooms near each other. We even managed to get a D-1 corner after on deck 10 of Liberty But they're not obligated to do this for you and you may not end up so lucky.

Thanks everyone.

I'm going to keep what I have and wait to see if there will be a price drop.
