Jancruz Posted September 3, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Guaranteed rooms. When are they usually assigned? How close to sailing date? Thanks for any input to this thread. That is one thing you cant predict..it really depends on how many GTY's are in front of you..it could be tomorrow or the day of the sailing..

Welland Posted September 3, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted September 3, 2011 That is one thing you cant predict..it really depends on how many GTY's are in front of you..it could be tomorrow or the day of the sailing..Jancruz1 I know you take a chance when you book a GTY but I hope I know before I arrive at the pier. Someone is going to post that I should not have booked a GTY then and gone to a firm booking. There were no balconies available that weren't a GTY and a suite was out of my ballpark. Thanks for your reply Jancruz1. Perhaps the booking fairy will be good to me and let me know in advance. I'm sure whatever stateroom I get I'll be happy. How can you not enjoy a cruise?

Rare LHT28 Posted September 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Just keep checking the "already booked " section on O's website or your TA should notify you when you get an assigned cabin You do not say how far out your cruise is :confused: Whatever cabin you get it will be great ;) Enjoy Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cruise mid-November so still a long way away. Believe we will be happy with whatever stateroom we are assigned. Our first Oceania so I'm sure that there will be no upgrade. Thanks everyone for responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things usually don't happen to us. We are just happy that we are able to give Oceania a try. Really looking forward to November. Again, thanks to all.

We are just happy that we are able to give Oceania a try. Really looking forward to November. Again, thanks to all. Just in case, here is a quick primer on the upsell policy. Occasionally, Oceania might find it prudent to offer a Guarantee Customer the opportunity to buy a better cabin for a few dollars extra. Depending on the level at which you bought into the Guarantee, this CAN result in some very significant savings for a VERY luxurious cabin. Unfortunately, because of the small size of the ship, the offers come and go VERY Quickly. If they call with an offer you have to snap it up, or you will have lost the opportunity. If you booked through an Agent, Oceania calls the Agent and not you. I'd suggest that if you are booked through an Agent, that you let him or her know what your perimeters are, so that they can catch a deal if it should swim by. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CintiPam Posted September 15, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 15, 2011 We booked our first-ever cruise only three months ahead of time on Nautica, and received a guaranty E cabin, wait listed for any better. Our luggage tags came with our names imprinted but no cabin number. We received our cabin assignment about ten days or two weeks in advance, but we won the lottery and got the obstructed E cabin with the small zodiac below the large picture window view, so no obstruction at all except for the central davit. We enjoyed this first cruise so much that we have returned for three more and booked another for late next August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noggins Posted September 16, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 16, 2011 We sail on the 19th (Marina) and it now looks as if our 'C' Gty will not be allocated until check-in - which is mildly un-nerving (especially having read in the booking conditions that O reserves the right to overbook and cancel your reservation!). I can't tell you how many times I have logged on to check if there is any update! Does anyone know how your luggage is handled when you part company with it prior to check-in with labelling that has no room number on it..? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your cabin assignment has still not been made by the time when your final documents are printed (six or eight weeks out), you will receive luggage tags that have no cabin # on them. Blank tags are also available at the pier, be sure to have a pen with you!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have marked up the 'blank' luggage tags already. You know, I am left believing now that O keep a very close eye on this board...! Well done O (again) and thank-you.
