Rare mizLORInj Posted August 9, 2015 #101 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Friends booked Breakaway just 3-4 weeks out and the TA got them BD guarantee. . . BD cabin was assigned several hours later and it was very far forward on deck 9. Our limited experience with guarantee category is ending up very far forward on various ships.

Amazon Princess Posted August 21, 2015 #109 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've done a GTY cabin 3 times and all times got a better cabin. Very first cruise, reserverd inside GTY, got a higher floor partially obstructed view. Another time booked inside GTY and got a porthole window. On the breakaway, booked an inside GTY, got a family ocean view picture window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpee_1993 Posted August 22, 2015 #110 Share Posted August 22, 2015 How close to sailing do the rooms get assigned typically? Is there rhyme or reason? We booked inside guarantee at about 36 days out. No assignment a week later. Another couple on our cruise also booked an inside guarantee around the same time we did and they were assigned immediately. How close before I should worry? First NCL cruise. So much new to us!

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted August 23, 2015 #111 Share Posted August 23, 2015 We booked a BX guarantee on Getaway approximately 30 days prior to sailing. We were assigned 12886 (Handicapped Balcony) about 2 weeks prior to sailing. The downside was that the door automatically slowly opened entirely exposing the whole cabin; so if anyone was in the hallway they could see entire cabin. Also the shower had no lip to contain water, easily solved by rolling two towels surrounding the drain and limited shelf space. The Upside far outweighed the downside: the cabin was 470 square feet with a 70 square foot balcony that held a lounge chair. Lil' slice of heaven.

I have heard of people getting assigned at the dock, but that seems pretty rare. Just keep checking every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DH & I would likely have our heads implode if we waited until we were at the dock! LOL! J/K. We've only booked GTY rates with Disney a couple times. With them it seems when the room assigners go thru the ship they assign all the guarantee rooms at once. Others on our NCL sailing got assigned right away. We're still waiting over a week later. Yikes! I feel like my obsessive checking is a crazy compulsion....... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emilfear Posted August 24, 2015 #118 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We sail on the Getaway in 40 days we have book balcony GTY for my partners first cruise and I am nervous about what cabin we are assigned. Lots of availability when checking throughout the ship so hope to see allocation soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amhcruise Posted August 26, 2015 #119 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Booked a GTY mini suite (MX) on the Getaway and was just assigned to Mini Suite cabin 11834. Does anyone have info about this cabin? Specifically, we are traveling with 2 kids and would prefer the drop down bunk over the sofa (instead of the pull out sofa). Should I have any other concerns about this cabin's location? TIA!

Elevens Posted August 27, 2015 #120 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Have a group going and we have a total of five GTY Balconies for the December 5th sailing of the Escape. We were all assigned B3 categories on Monday, August 24th. Four of them are within 12 cabins of each other in the 9100s and the other is a deck below in the 8100s. Added info: The four cabins that were in the 9100s were all booked on the same day with the same PCC. The cabin that was in the 8100s was booked through the same PCC, but was booked about a week later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarps14 Posted August 27, 2015 #121 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Booked a GTY mini suite (MX) on the Getaway and was just assigned to Mini Suite cabin 11834. Does anyone have info about this cabin? Specifically, we are traveling with 2 kids and would prefer the drop down bunk over the sofa (instead of the pull out sofa). Should I have any other concerns about this cabin's location? TIA! What I have found is that the mini's that have the "+" sign in them on the deck plans sleep four. The only way that can happen is with the drop down bunk. The other mini's have a solid triangle in them on the deck plans and these only sleep three. No drop bunk. Please know this was done by process of elimination and may not be completely accurate. All the pictures I've seen though (and none were of your specific cabin but others around it) seem to work out to this configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Don Posted August 28, 2015 #122 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Booked an OX on Spirit. We are 106 days out and was assigned today, OC cabin 6522, OV picture window. Under the very front of the casino. Happy with the window but hoping the slot sounds won't be audible. I spent more than a decade in a casino on the other side of the tables and the thought of the dinging slots 24/7 is the stuff of my nightmares.

daffodiliaz Posted September 1, 2015 #123 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Paid a little bit to upgrade from an OB oceanview to GTY BX balcony just 6 days before sailing. Ended up with a BC all the way forward. Hull balcony but not all that concerned. Should be quiet and good exercise getting there. Will be glad to have a balcony on our Baltic cruise on the Star.

cat8211 Posted September 2, 2015 #124 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I switched from an Oceanview to a GTY balcony for a cruise we did last week. I was nervous because it was way forward (10018). We loved it! Minimal movement and we just got a little more exercise walking to places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
