Now, if the weather is good, we are all set. How far in advance of the sailing date was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastern flygirl Posted October 16, 2019 #102 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Not to be exact, but maybe 15 days. I don’t remember the day I checked my cruise planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaynors Posted October 16, 2019 #103 Share Posted October 16, 2019 5 hours ago, Biker19 said: Being able to book a GTY on a cruise so far out is already an anomaly, so getting the assignment so early is unusual as well. I would agree, and especially being able to book a GTY for 3 or 4 people. In the past we were never able to book a GTY for more than 2. Times must be changing. They aren't offering the GTY for 3 or 4 anymore (for our sailing). Glad we booked when we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenice12 Posted October 17, 2019 #105 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Update! Just checked prices for my Nov 16 sailing on Symphony and was able to upgrade to a Ocean View Balcony 9th floor and I got to pick my room. I had originally upgraded to a GTY Neighborhood Balcony from Promenade view . This upgrade had a price drop and it cost me only $15 for the oceanview balcony. Score!!!!! So now I don’t have to wait to see what room they will assign me. If I can only get a lower price on my Deluxe Drink package. 🤔🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeMissSeaView Posted October 18, 2019 #107 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just had a cabin assigned today for the Empress and that cruise starts in eight (8) days. There does not seem to be any pattern on when cabins are assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC21 Posted October 18, 2019 #113 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) We did a last minute guarantee booking (9/20) for the Mariner sailing (10/25). We received our cabin assignments exactly 2 weeks prior to our sailing next week. Edited October 18, 2019 by TomC21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted October 18, 2019 #114 Share Posted October 18, 2019 We are 4 weeks 2 days out from our second week of a B2B and have just had our cabin assigned. The first week we are in a 4 B balcony deck 10 on Adventure and now our second week a 3 B on deck 7. We are not connecting, aft of the main elevators as is our first week and I am very pleased with our cabin. The only issue will be moving all of our stuff down 3 floors while everyone else is getting off. The cabins are literally about in the same place just 3 decks apart. We will continue to wait to see about our bids but if we don’t get any of them I will be very happy how this turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruz Posted October 20, 2019 #115 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Booked 3 weeks ago...ship has been sold out but for one Suite for over a week. 6 days to go and no cabin assignment! I just checked luggage tags hoping to gain some insight and they are blank as well! Still just praying for someplace above deck 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska59 Posted January 9, 2020 #116 Share Posted January 9, 2020 To those of you who often book a guarantee cabin, what is the earliest you have ever been assigned a cabin number? We have an upcoming balcony guarantee and I know I may not find out cabin number until at the port (worst case). However, with a couple months to go before cruise I am curious to everybody else's experience. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 9, 2020 #117 Share Posted January 9, 2020 We've been assigned a guarantee stateroom the day after we booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevea36 Posted January 9, 2020 #118 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I've had GTY cabins assigned as early as 6 months out and as late as 3 days before. It all depends on how things are going with the bookings on the ship and, probably, hundreds of other things that we don't know about !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Ellen (IIRC) posting that she received her allocation while the cabin was still on hold (a few years ago when you could put holds on cabins), which certainly no longer applies.

No more courtesy holds at all on RC's website? I thought some cruises were still eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
