Amazing news! We got a cabin assignment today and we given cabin 8345, which is a 1A with the larger balcony. Couldn’t be happier for the price paid on a veranda guarantee! Guess I had no reason to be concerned after all since Celebrity has never let me down before! Thanks all for your insight!

I found the hack you mentioned and my bar code on my express pass shows GTY because I don’t have a cabin assignment.

Well, I didn’t have any concerns before I booked the guarantee on this cruise. I only have concerns NOW that I’m 30 days out from embarkation without a cabin assignment. Like I said, I’ve been on 23 cruises and never had concerns about Celebrity overbooking…until now. Unfortunately the cruise is sold out so I can’t throw money at the problem and book an assigned cabin or I would consider it.

I’m booked on a veranda guarantee. The only veranda category available at the time I booked was a guarantee. I’ve never had a problem in 20 years and 23 cruises getting a cabin assignment on a guarantee reservation before check-in…until now. So is Celebrity now doing as Princess does?

What is the latest you received a cabin assignment if you don’t mind my asking? I’ve never sweated it before now because I’ve always received a cabin assignment before check-in became available. I’m checked in, have an express pass, but don’t have a cabin assignment. My express pass just says GTY.

Well, this is the first time I’ve ever had concerns about overbooking on Celebrity. Like I said, I’m a loyal Celebrity cruiser for the past 20 years who has earned Elite status. I’ve booked a dozen guarantee rooms on different sailings in the past and I’ve always received a cabin assignment before check-in became available. Therefore I had no reason to be concerned before now. So what has changed? Recent press about RCL starting to overbook and turning customers away at the pier made me wonder if Celebrity is also adopting this practice?

I’ve already checked in online and have a exoress pass but still don’t have a cabin assignment. My express pass just says GTY and does not list a muster . Like I said, I’ve booked a dozen GTY cabins in the past and I’ve never not been assigned a cabin before check-in became available.

I have an upcoming sailing on Silhouette embarking on January 2, 2024 and I still do not a cabin assignment for a veranda guarantee booking. The sailing is now sold out. I’ve booked my share of GTY cabins in the past and have always previously received a cabin assignment well in advance. This will be my 24th cruise and I’m an Elite Captain’s Club member. This is the first time I still don’t have a cabin assignment 1-month out. Has anyone else experienced this? Is Celebrity starting to oversell ships like airlines do and bump people?
