GTY assignment

[cinnamon]

We are sailing on Crown Princess on 9th July to Norway. For the first time ever we booked a Guarantee stateroom, in fact a Mini-Suite, as the deal was only a fraction more than a Balcony cabin. The cruise is just over 8 weeks away and I assume most passengers will have paid in full by now. Is there a 'Norm' as to when the cabin will be assigned?

 

Thanks for any help, Cinnamon

No sure that there is a "norm"...you assignment could come anytime between today and when you arrive at the pier.

 

For us, we have received our assignment the day after booking on one occassion, and on another, upon arrival at the ship.

On our February cruise (Golden) we had an AD GTY. We received our cabin assignment about two weeks before sailing.....

There is absolutely no predicting when your guarantee assignment will come through. And there is absolultely no 'norm' to whether it is before final payment, after final payment, or right before sailing. As said, it can come as late as when you arrive at the pier for boarding.

 

It is one reason we just don't book guarantees often, I hate the waiting for that cabin assignment. Some feel the longer you wait, the better your assignment will be, but I feel that the longer they wait to make the assignment, the better chance of getting an assigned cabin that nobody else wanted to book. :eek: So, there are two ways to look at the waiting game on cabin assignments.

 

Good Luck, and I hope you get a good mini suite location when it is finally assigned. Just keep checking your Princess Personalizer, as when it is assigned, it will show up there. ;)
