woopuppy Posted August 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I have been reading on the boards that you don't get your room assignment on guaranteed rooms until a little before your sailing. I booked back in February and I had my room assignment at that time. It is on the original booking and is on my booking on their website. Is this not normal? We are not sailing until December.

gatorclaws Posted August 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I booked about 45 days out, just got my assignment this weekend which was a little more than 30 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted August 17, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2015 You can get your GTY assignment pretty much at any time from booking to just before sailing. No telling when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted August 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2015 What ColinIllinois said. A guarantee cabin can be assigned any time - what happened to OP is also completely normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingNovice92 Posted August 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Booked my cruise last month for the Getaway in January. Was told that I won't know our room assignment until 60 days before the cruise. Bummer! I love know exactly where we're staying way ahead of time.

rydan Posted August 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) It's a mystery for the ages. Somewhere in a remote mountain out west, all the cruise lines use this guarantee stateroom issuing computer. It's an iningma wrapped in a mystery!

I'm sailing on Getaway Dec 6 and have an IA inside guarantee booked. I have never booked a guarantee but it was the best rate and I needed to keep this trip as inexpensive as possible. What type of guarantee did you have and are you happy with your room assignment. I wish they would assign mine.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in time Posted August 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2015 We are booked and all paid up on the Getaway for this sept. 12th. As of five minutes ago, no room assignment. I also booked a guaranteed room. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted August 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sometime between now and when you board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopuppy Posted August 18, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted August 18, 2015 We have a guaranteed ocean view. Yes I am happy with where we are at. We are on the 5th deck in the back of the boat. We personally don't need or want a balcony or suite or haven. Why pay for that when you are just sleeping in the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We personally don't need or want a balcony or suite or haven. Why pay for that when you are just sleeping in the room? Then why even an ocean view??? Inside would have been perfectly fine for you?

woopuppy Posted August 18, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Because we wanted the UBP and you needed an ocean view or higher. Plus it was only $50 more a person to have the ocean view. We had an inside stateroom last December and it was fine but alittle too cramped for us. If I had to do an inside again I wouldn't even think twice and take it.

Balcony is super important to us as we love to sit on the balcony and look at the ocean and have a beer or two(in private).:) whatever floats your boat I guess...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in time Posted August 19, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 19, 2015 We have an inside room, and got the UBP free too. I booked July 13 and at that time they were offering 3rd and 4th in room free as well as your choice of free packages to the first two in room.

woopuppy Posted August 19, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted August 19, 2015 When we booked they weren't offering it in the inside rooms. We got a great deal on an ocean view so I am not gonna complain! LOL I do have to admit I kinda like the extra room and being able to look out at the ocean :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the promo availability, that applies only to cruises until end of this year unlike for OV bookings that can take place also in 2016-2017. (In UK there is similar promotion that includes also Q1/2016 sailings.) Edited August 19, 2015 by Demonyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted August 19, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I booked a cruise 7 months out and got the assignment a week after booking. It all depends and there's no rhyme or reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
