How will I be notified when I am assigned a cabin on my guarantee booking?

[dogsdogs]

Booked a guarantee JS for a January cruise through an internet TA. I have never booked a guarantee on RCCL before. I keep checking my on-line check-in screen but I'm not sure that will reflect it. The TA isn't much help--I knew that from the get--just used them to get the OBC. Will I be notified?

Keep checking online - that's where I've always gotten my assignment when booking a guarantee.

No, you won't be notified by Royal.

If you go to the My Cruises and then click on the reservation number, it will be under the stateroom section if it has been assigned. For our January cruise, we switched to a JS GTY and got assigned within 2 days since we'd already made our final payment. But that's how I found out, just by going to the reservation online. Good luck!

My GTY cabin did not show up until less than two weeks before sail date, and indeed RCI does not notify you when assigned.

 

Just had to keep checking "My Cruises" daily for for cabin assignment.

now what you are saying is very interesting about not being notified. Dont know if its a UK thing - but we are ALWAYS notified in an email from RCI when the cabin is assigned, and we do GTY cabins quite a lot.

 

I do check the reservation but I don't need to, as within 24 hours of the cabin being assigned we always receive an updated invoice which reflects the cabin number :confused:

We also do guarantees cabins quite a lot and have never been notified by RCI. The allocation just appears eventually on our cruise planner.

As Jean has said it may just be a UK thing but we have always been notified by email usually between twenty four hours maybe forty eight hours and two weeks after booking and have booked quite a few guaranteed staterooms always been very happy with the stateroom also.

Do you use a travel agent or do you book directly with Royal Caribbean?

[silentbob007]

I used an internet agent for my Jan GTY cruise and she actually sent me a new invoice with the room number on the day it was assigned ... I was impressed.

Ditto that is what happen to my gty booking.

All my guaranteed stateroom bookings have been direct with RCI.

In the event your room is assigned less than 24 hrs before sailing, can you still print luggage tags?

I know the porter has tag that you can write on it but I always laminate them for free back at work.

No, that function disappears about 72 hours before embarkation.

Hi there, we always book directly - maybe that makes a difference too ?:confused:

Should not make a difference with the cruise line. However, the agent may take the extra step of checking for you periodically.
