Average room assignment time for a gty?

[miyanc]

I know it's been said and asked. I know it varies based on the ship, space, bookings and RCI in all their inconsistentcies.

 

My question is, on average when do room assignments happen? Earliest? To latest?

 

Anyone not have a room assignment as they walked up?

 

I am on the allure on 4/30 and like most of you I am only slightly excited or obsessed.

Sorry, no pattern has been seen. Anytime between when you book and when you arrive at the pier.

We usually book balconies and try to upgrade to suite GTYs if available at a good price. I thought I had it figured out after booking them twice, but I guess I was wrong.

 

We did it twice last year and they were assigned between 7-10 days after booking them. However, I upgraded to a guarantee for our upcoming 5/21 Oasis cruise about a month ago and still have not gotten an assignment.

Not sure we can do it or it's available but what's the usually pp difference to upgrade from balcony to suite gty?

I am on the Allure April 2. I had a balcony GTY. Got my room last Friday, Deck 6, oceanview extra large balcony. Happy with that.

Varies greatly.

Last three Royal cruises were all gty and had a room as soon as I logged back in.

We recently booked two interior gtys for May and they were assigned by the first time I logged in after receiving the info from my TA.

This or better is what I am hoping.

 

So I guess that was 30 days out or so. I just keep checking several times a day.

We are going to be on Allure on 4/16 and only found out 3/13.

Do they only assign cabins after final payment?

Nope, we've had them assigned before final.

So it's likely to happen in a couple of weeks, or sooner, or later... Got it.

 

We paid in full when we booked it thru the ta.
