BamaLady#13 Posted July 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I booked a GTY balcony on deck 6,7,8 or 9. At this point, it looks like the only remaining unsold cabins for two occupants are on 6, so I am assuming that’s what I will be assigned. Still over 6 months out, so that’s purely a guess and maybe worse case. Are we going to hear noise from the deck below? I’ve always had cabins below and above and never had a problem, so now I’m getting a little worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Actually, the reason why you see such few cabins this far out is because the rest of the unsold cabins are being held for guaranteed cabins.

If they booked an 8D guarantee it would be on decks 6, 7, 8 or 9 as that’s where the 8D’s are located. It’s not uncommon to see sub category guarantees offered as opposed to category guarantees.

I didn't think the normal site had sub-category guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaLady#13 Posted July 23, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Yes, I purchased an 8D GTY thru one of the big box TA’s a few months ago. I’ve used this same TA many times and never had a problem, but I got such a great deal compared to current pricing that I began to wonder if there was a big negative that I wasn’t aware of. Thanks everyone for the reassuring comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcgrumpy Posted July 23, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I love deck 6. Quick run down to the promenade for early morning coffee or late night pizza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaLady#13 Posted July 23, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Are there any venues for late night snacks other than pizza? I don’t want to pay for room service if I can easily go pick up something myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorrento’s was open until 3 am each night on our recent sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptf2009 Posted July 30, 2019 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2019 With a guarantee, should the cruiser not expect to get assigned a cabin until after final payment date and up until date of cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I figured RC would wait until after final payment date (for those who cancel before then) to see what opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had guarantee cabins assigned the next day after booking at 6 months before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting...we have a JS GTY and our ship is showing none available at this time as well only one suite(OS) available. So I figured they would have to wait and see if there are any cancellations before they would assign us a cabin. We are 4 months out, so I'll just have to be patient as I check it daily:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
