GTY Question - How reliable is scanning your barcode to see assignment?

[MichFish]

I have a GTY booked.   Cruise is in May.   I just got access to the bar code.  I did the scan thing.   How reliable is this in determining your assignment?

[wolfcathorse]

where do you find a bar code?

[MichFish]

On your travel documents once they are available.

My set sail pass was available right after we completed our check in on the Royal app at the 45 day mark. We saved the set sail pass to our apple wallet and once there you can see a barcode with digits. The last digits after the - are supposedly your cabin even if its not officially on the app or website when you login.  My sail pass also says the deck # just not the stateroom number. The Deck # does correspond with the bar code. My cruise isn't until May 7th, so I guess we will see!

I am in a similar situation and I really want to believe it because I love the cabin that shows.   I just don’t know how reliable this is……

 

I’m hoping to hear from ppl who have more experience with it.

We had a GTY that the cabin number appeared under the barcode before I was notified of the cabin number.  I did not use a scanner, I had put the set sail pass in my wallet on my iphone and saw it there.

Was it accurate?

I saw a post on here a few weeks ago where some people did say it was accurate.

Yes, that is why I just said it was our cabin.

I already mentioned it the first time you asked this in the other thread- most reporting suggests once assigned (whether officially or via the barcode decode) the cabin assignment is unlikely to change. 

[HicksRA]

It was accurate in my case.

Same here. Couldnt see it anywhere except in the wallet.

Does it only work with Iphone or is there also a method for Android?

Download a QRcode reader on your Android.  Pull up your reservation bar code on a separate device.  Point and aim.  You will see the result.

Mine was accurate.

(Of course, the cruise line has the right to change a gty assignment if they wish….they rarely do so, but theoretically it could happen.  That is part and parcel of booking gty)

My cabin was officially assigned today and it was the one I saw when I decided the bar code.  
 

I’m super excited!    It was a category higher than I expected!!!

I did this for a cruise a few months ago (November) and it was correct.  I have an Android and can confirm the above process worked for me.

I did it in December. It was accurate.

Cruise on Friday, mine was accurate.
