MDgal76 Posted June 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2018 We sail in 43 days and have a GTY balcony assigned. I know they can assign it anytime after final payment up to and including cruise day. I’m just curious if there is an “average” time frame. We aren’t to worried about where we are assigned I’m just curious and according to my husband impatient....lol!

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Booked an inside GTY (ID GTY, not a sail away) on the Getaway about a month ago, sailing in 2 weeks. Inside room was assigned about 48 hours after booking. Called and upgraded last week (not bidding, paid full price) to a BD GTY (again, not a sail away cabin) and it was assigned within 2 hours. I received a great non-connecting BA on deck 11.

But realistically I have no clue :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I've had them assigned as soon as 5 minutes after booking, and have heard of them being as late as the day of sailing.

Level six Posted June 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I always book guarantees and on NCL, they are usually assigned within a week(sometimes instantly like above posted stated). On Princess, sometimes not until a week before. Which, in a way, makes more sense really. They are allowing the cabins to be selected and sold. By NCL giving me a cabin right away, it takes that cabin away from others who may want it. I am NOT complaining, I would rather know. It just seems like all cabins should be up for grabs until at least a week before. Maybe with NCL it has to do with the upgrade bid thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Abazorius Posted June 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Have booked GTY Balcony 2x in the past and they were both assigned about 30 days before sailing. Just my personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball fan Posted June 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I booked May 2017 for a Sept 2018 cruise. Cabin assigned about 4 months ago. I was surprised it was done that early. Booked BF guarantee. Assigned BF cabin. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeye57 Posted June 21, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Sailing in March 2019. Booked a BF-GTY beginning of June and just noticed we were given a BF on deck 12. This is the first time using a GTY. I'm happy and will probably do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
