Guarantee cabin # assignment - how early?

[Moriah]

Curious what the earliest is that anyone has received their cabin assignment on a guarantee cabin? Our cruise is in August - when does it make sense for me to obsessively start to look at our luggage tags in the check-in online? 🙂

[Krazy Kruizers]

Most people get their cabin assignments about 2 weeks to 10 days before their cruise.  A couple of people got their cabin number at the pier.

 

Since your cruise isn't until August, you have quite a wait.  Start looking at the end of July.

I wouldn't obsessively look until 2 wks. out.

I received our cabin assignment 10 days out.

[SilvertoGold]

30 days on a couple of longer cruises, but normally 10 days.  At 14 days you can start looking up to 6 times a day without going crazy.

 

Enjoy the run-up to your cruise and please come back and let us know how you did on your assignment.

On 9 guarantees our earliest assignment came at 18 days out. Most were at 11 or 10 days out.

[RubyCam]

My two assignments were at the 10 day mark.

[Shmoo here]

We just got our assignment at 11 days out.

Our travel agent always finds out before anything appears on the website and let’s us know. 2 weeks out was furthest away for me.

 

YMMV

We did a guarantee in 2017 and got our assignment about two weeks out. However, for our upcoming cruise, the assignment came more than a month in advance. We are sailing with my parents and were hoping for an adjoining room situation, so that could be the reason we got our assignment so early.

ours is 11 days away and I am still waiting(obsessively:)  )

[sambamama]

I got one two days out-I had already flown down.  But it was a good one-I went from a MM Guarantee to a C.  I think mine usually come in the 2 week to 10 day range. I know I've heard the later you get it, the better it usually is!

I am in the same boat as you (well, who knows if I am actually on the same ship), but I am sitting at 11 days and still haven't gotten mine.  And with my personality, that's not a good thing.  LOL

I've heard that too, but have seen no evidence of it.  I personally know of two instances where people who got their assignments in the last 4 or 5 days got exactly what they booked ... no upgrade at all!

Thank you! It's torture for me already... I'm starting to think I need to distract myself with another cruise that comes before this one! 🙂 . But I'll take your, and others' advice and wait until a couple weeks out to start being obsessive about it.

11 days for us for GA cabin assignment on the upcoming. 

[coffee59]

I cruise in 10 days.  No assignment yet!!  It is so exciting.  A guaranteed outside so the risk of a fully obstructed view is possible.  But I will be on a cruise so it won't bother me.

How do you get notified that your cabin has been assigned? In 2017, we did our first guarantee cabin booking.  We were told to check our print luggage tags on our check in page to find our cabin assignment.  We were assigned the day before sailing, and that is how we found out.  Any other ways to find out?  We just made our second guarantee booking and we sail in just over 4 weeks..... fingers crossed that we will have a cabin assigned sooner than last time.

I just checked the boarding pass and luggage tags each day and finally it appeared. My travel agent still hadn’t heard about it by email

I was the same way.   Just kept checking and finally yesterday, 9 days before sailing, it just appeared.  Never got an email or anything.

We are sailing on the Rotterdam.. we have a guarantee Vista Suite.  I dont think there is a bad Vista Suite on that ship.. it will either be levels 6 or 7... still, I would prefer starboard....fingers crossed!
