We have never done OB before, we always choose our suite, but this was a bit last minute, it was an 'extra' cruise so we thought we'd try it. And the saving was quite a bit. When you find out which suite it is, do you bother to write it on your luggage tags? We also join Sojourn on the 10th, Mauzac. I am not permitting myself to look at the site until 10 days before (so Sunday 😉) However if your allocation comes up before then, do feel free to share the news with me so I will then check ours! We're actually on for 25 days which is by far the longest cruise I've taken on an guarantee. Because of the length of it (cruise has been sold as two separate cruises but ours is not a B2B it's all one booking) I'm expecting that our allocation this time may not be quite as good as we've had previously but really I don't mind where they put me! As for the luggage tag, I have written it on previously but usually I just leave it up to the port agent to sort it out when I check in. Getting very excited now but it definitely becomes more real when the suite number appears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT1992 Posted November 25, 2019 #28 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm 10 days out, and obsessed with checking for my room number! I'm like a kid at Christmas. LOL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted November 26, 2019 #29 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I was assigned my GTY for my current cruise about a week ahead of the embarkation date. It seems that I've done something to anger the upgrade fairy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isklaar Posted November 26, 2019 Author #30 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) So I just went to our booking to check our TK reservations and I see that we have a suite allocation. Unfortunately I can't answer my own question about lead times as I don't know when the suite number appeared! We sail in exactly two weeks. We have a V5 on deck 6, very pleased with the suite as we like deck 6 and frequently book it, but as I've said previously Seabourn did change an allocation of ours once before so it's possible it could change.

I received an e-mail this morning from our TA with a suite assignment. We too are a V5 on deck 6. See you on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauzac Posted November 29, 2019 #43 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I can only imagine they are deliberating whether we should get the owners suite or a penthouse suite and can't make their minds up which is why we haven't heard 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socagirl1 Posted November 29, 2019 #45 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Recently returned from Nov 16-28 sailing of the Caribbean. Received our cabin number two weeks from sailing. First time Seabourn sailors, we were assigned suite 529. At first I was a little disappointed, however, we actually loved this cabin. Close to the laundry, the Club and was closer to center of the ship (midship and a lower floor - for sailing stability). Would get that cabin again in a heartbeat! Thanks Seabourn for the perfect selection for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Seabourn for the perfect selection for us. We've been in 514 and 516 and I totally agree, it is a great location. Dead easy for the laundry and not far to walk far too late in high heels from the Club! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdk-atlga Posted November 29, 2019 #48 Share Posted November 29, 2019 We are on the December 14 Odyssey and we received our cabin assignment (V1) at noon today. So, for us, it was roughly 2 weeks prior for the assignment. Jdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalapanda Posted November 30, 2019 #49 Share Posted November 30, 2019 We were to sail out of Singapore 27 Nov 19 our OB was allocated 14 days prior. The earliest we have experienced Encore 627.. Unfortunately had to cancel 7 days prior due to injuries from accident. Med' cruises suite allocation oftentimes 3 to 6 days. The saving grace is all suites are good on Seabourn ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhairob Posted December 1, 2019 #50 Share Posted December 1, 2019 We play the Gty game regularly , at the end of the day particularly on the Encore or Ovation there really aren't any bad rooms . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
