No stateroom yet, no worries

[albingirl]

So, I said to my husband today, honey, we don't have a stateroom assignment yet. He said to me, honey, just get me to the ship on time! Lol!:)

Are you under 3 weeks to sailing? That is the normal window for GTY assignments.

[albingirl]

We are at 4 weeks from sailing. Can't wait! I know, we'll probably know our assignment in 2 weeks or so but it's fun thinking about what a wonderful trip this will be! 42 day Atlantic Adventure.

I would say 90% of our sailings are guarantees. The anticipation can be a bit nerve wracking however. In our experience I would say the later the assignment the better the cabin. For us at least. I hope you get a wonderful cabin. Bon Voyage.

[albingirl]

Thank you so much! We are over the moon on this sailing!

[Vineyard View]

42 days? I would be over the moon too!! Have a great time!

Thank you. Over the moon and then some! I never ever thought this would happen when we were working all the time! Dream come true.

Ten to Fourteen days prior to embarkation seems to be average notice of guarantee cabin assignments.

 

Used to be the longer you waited for an assignment was thought to be a good omen for possible upgrade or upsell offer.

 

Cabin assignments are always the great mystery.

42 days...excellent. Keep trying to work my DW past 18 days :). Good luck on assignment and have a great cruise.

Too funny! Once upon a time, and not that long ago, I couldn't get my husband to get excited over a 7 day cruise! He said 5 days was perfect for him. Hard to say what changed other than life.

Do not be surprised if cabin assignments come out 7 days or less before sailing. The ship is at capacity and scrambling to accommodate guarantees.

It sounds wonderful. Our friends did this trip last year. Due to work not able to be away for that length of time. Soon tho.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Your husband has a great attitude.

Hope you get assigned a good cabin and have a great cruise.

This summer I got my GTY assignment six days before sailing.

[Carhut]

It's 12 days out for me and still no room assignment. :(

[Carhut]

Now I have to retract my previous post. I just got an email from HAL and told me to check my account. There it was. My room! Got upgraded from a VE to a VA. I'm a happy camper. :) Room is 8106. We are under the Lido so don't know how noisy that might be. Guess we'll find out.

[Mr Astro]

We didn't get our rooms until last Monday for this Sunday's departure. We also got an offer at the same time to upgrade (for a small fee). Be prepared to pounce on this offer if given (we were too late and missed out on moving up to a Neptune Suite from our Vista Suite).

 

Bon Voyage

Within the past hour, we received an upsell offer to a veranda, and we took it.

Happy people we are!:D

Specific cabin or veranda guarantee? Enjoy!

Specific. I picked our cabin. Yayayay!

[Mr and Mrs CIQ]

We are within three weeks and still no room. We did miss an upsell offer. Tried to offer less but they sold out in one day. So, get what you can when you can.

I agree. Was going to negotiate, but quickly realized that was foolish since there is a minimum of verandahs on the Maasdam. Didn't want to lose the offer. They would go quickly; probably gone by now.
