When do we find out cabin number with guarantee cabin?

[joteacher]

Hi folks!

 

I just booked a last minute cruise to Cuba on the Sun. I booked yesterday, and it leaves on June 10th. Needless to say I could only get a GTY cabin. Can anyone give me any guidance as to when I might receive a cabin assignment? Will we know before we leave? I'm very excited, but nervous as I've never done a GTY before...I always know exactly where we'll be on the ship!

 

Thanks for your help.

it can be anywhere from a few minutes after you book to finding out at check in.

From personal experience last month, it was within a week of booking and we received a mid-ship deck 13 cabin. Great location. Cruise is middle of June.

As mentioned, this is an accurate statement.

Due to price drop, I moved from mid-ship balcony to mid-ship mini suite GTY on this past Sunday.  My cruise fare was paid in full.  I changed and got all 5 offers plus free air for current Memorial Day Promotion.  On Monday, the cabin was assigned at a higher mini-suite category.  So I got my cabin assignment in about 24 hours, which was shown on myNCL account.  I sail in October.

I’m on the same cruise. We booked last week, and got our cabin assignment on Sunday. It really could be any time between now and when you get to the ship, but mine took about 5 days.

w have gotten them within a few minutes of booking or as late as sailing day.

What I noticed is that they don't send you an email telling you that your cabin has been assigned.  I did a balcony guarantee on the Epic TA in April and I looked almost every day on my NCL account to see if it had been assigned.  Only took a few days but when I saw what cabin it was I was so mad that I upgraded to another one.  They gave me one of those "enclosed" balconies which I really don't consider it to be a balcony as it looks like it has a big picture window surrounded by metal. Ugh!!   My upgraded cabin on deck 8 turned out to be right below the lifeboats so there went the view of the water.  So I changed cabins again to a higher deck but then I noticed that the mini suite was less than what I paid for my balcony so I got to upgrade for free.  However that was a guarantee cabin as well and it took almost a week to get that cabin number.  However, third time was the charm as my mini suite was in an excellent location and I loved the cabin.
