runnerodb83 Posted July 26, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Anyone book a GTY (say G), get a room assignment, then, closer to sailing, switch to a different category GTY (of perhaps the same price, say HH on a particularly voyage) and get assigned to a better room than the earlier assignment?

RBTraveler Posted July 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I booked a GTY cabin on a 14 day Alaska trip from Vancouver that left on June 30th. We did not book until Memorial weekend and booked a GTY obstructed view cabin. We got an assignment about 10 days before the cruise amd was in a ocenview cabin. On Monday before we cruised on Saturday and we were upgraded to a balcony cabin on the Aloha deck. Very suprised and very happy so yes it in deed does happen.

Not quite what I was talking about but thats still great! What I meant to ask was... Book at GTY oceanview obstructed Get assigned an Oceanview Think that ship is not selling that well, so change booking to another GTY thats the same price of initial booking (or close). Get assigned a higher category than first GTY... anyone ever done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TracieABD Posted July 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I just did this. I booked a BF GTY. I was assigned a BA. Fares dropped and I requested an AE GTY. I am waiting cabin assignment, and I have a looooooooooooong time to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted July 27, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We did that and had a great experience! We booked an Inside stateroom guarantee and then were assigned a higher inside stateroom category, nothing earth shattering. During a sale, we change to an obstructed oceanview guarantee and were assigned one of the unique Island/Coral Princess staterooms, the aft DD Oceanview! We loved the 10 ft walk to the aft balcony, and it was amazing seeing glaciers from our room as we were packing and sailing away from College Fjord!
