Life_Traveler Posted October 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Just got done booking out first ever Guarantee room. Couldn't pass up the 36 hour sail going on right now. Hopefully we get a decent room but then again its only 5 days so we can handle about anything if need be. Needed to fill the gap in January as it was only month this winter we didn't have one booked already. From past experience, can someone tell me about how far out they actually got there room assignment. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalgeek Posted October 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I don't think there's any definitive answer to that. It just depends when they think they are done selling your category. At the end of March I booked a gty balcony on Conquest for a cruise the last week of July. We got our assignment on May 4th which was about 80 days out from sailing. It was a fantastic room, by the way - 8th floor, forward, starboard. No noise at night and close to the elevators. BUT, I've seen reports here of getting your room assigned 1 month, 2 months, 2 weeks or even not until they actually got to port to check in. THAT would have driven me crazy lol.

Towel Critter Posted October 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2016 We've gotten balcony guarantees four times and our room has been assigned in each case no later than about 20 - 30 days from sailing. Not saying this is always the case. It really depends on how sales go. BTW, we've gotten acceptable to very good locations 3 of the 4 times. Best of luck.

Life_Traveler Posted October 10, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Twice when boarding passes were ready. Once on day of embarkation. i would think day of embarkation would be difficult. What is on your luggage tag so they no which room to deliver it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted October 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2016 We have booked a GTY probably 8 times and it has ranged from 2 months to 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsglow Posted October 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2016 We got ours about a month prior to the cruise. Remember to go online to set your bed configuration once the assignment has taken place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
