Latest You've Been Assigned a GTY

[abr5000]

I purchased a GTY cabin 21 days before an upcoming sailing.  At this point, I am 16 days away from sailing and I still don't have an assigned cabin.

 

I've read online that NCL can assign you one up to 1 day from sailing, but I'm wondering if this has ever been the case?  What's the latest you were even assigned a cabin?

 

Thanks!

I've had a room assigned as late as 3 days prior to the cruise; this is kind of rare; most recently in the last year I had been assigned a Gty room about 2 -3 weeks after I made final payment. Although unlike you, I have never signed up for a cruise 3 weeks prior to departure.

 

You are fine, you only purchased the room 5 days ago; I wouldn't be surprised if you get your room assigned any day now.

Enjoy!

It can and does happen up until 2 days before.  I've had it as late as 3 days before.  Don't focus on it or you will drive yourself crazy.

I have been assigned 2 or 3 days before, and at other times, within hours of booking even 4 weeks prior.  I think it depends a lot on how bookings and upgrades are going.   If things are in constant flux, could be last minute change, but if things are pretty well settled, with lack up upgrade requests or slow sales, they assign earlier.

I booked my last cruise two days before sailing, directly with NCL. The agent at that time couldn't give me a room number, probably within 30 minutes of hanging up I had a room assignment. I think it goes from sales people to another dept for room assignment.

You may not find your assignment until you arrive at the port. NCL could assign it as late as the night before sailing after you can no longer access the information online.

The two times I have booked guarantees in the last year (all last minute bookings), one came days before we left (Escape). The other on the Sky was two days prior.

ALTHOUGH THIS WAS YEARS AGO....

We did not get a cabin assignment until we were at the port !

5 days prior.

Yes years ago we did not have room assigned until we arrived at the port.

 

We just booked the Gem guaranty on Friday (2 days ago) and had the room assigned 4 hours later.
