The YouTube video tells how bumping on GTY suites is more common now but mostly some time before and bumping at the port as happened to 11 couples is rare. So not really bumping just voluntary offloading. It says 2024 cruises are more booked up than previous years so more offers of alternate cruises and compensation to GTY’s.
Pcardad said she has never heard of it but it is possible. Well we know with Royal Caribbean it has actually happened to 11 couples. RSSC have the same faq generally as RCI saying a guarantee is for at least the same level but silent on bumping. So bumping with GTY is possible and has happened but is rare.
The story that lead me to ask RSSC was on these boards a couple of months ago.

RSSC told me it is unlikely. This means it is possible with RSSC.
I saw a recent news item about people with a guaranteed suite were told a few days before sailing they are not able to board. They were told that guaranteed meant that at least that level of suite provided all suites were not sold. The cruise was sold out and they were bumped. So today I looked at a Regent Seven Seas cruise and the suite I wanted was 'guaranteed'. So I asked RSSC could I be bumped and they said it was 'unlikely'. So RSSC agree it is possible. Does anybody know if being bumped with a guaranteed suite is anything they have heard of or should I be worried about?
