GTY stateroom question

[researchfreak90]

With all the craziness going on with COVID-19 the prices for my cruise dropped in May and I used it to upgrade my stateroom to a Guarantee Balcony. After looking at the confirmation its just reads, GTY for the stateroom. If I had not spent 3 hours on hold today I would call back and ask but thats silly.

 

My question is this. Do all guarantee rooms read GTY and the type of guarantee is on the back end and nothing to be concerned with or ????

 

Also, I have always chosen my room, when do they usually assign room numbers?

All guarantees read GTY for the cabin number until it is assigned.  there is no specific date for when they are assigned, but when it is assigned you can change to any available cabin in the assigned category.

Could be any time from rightnow until date of sailing.

My last two guarantee cabins this year were assigned to specific cabins 30 days out.

You will get a balcony... no worries.

21 days out and still no assignment.

Have you tried to decode your Setsail pass for one?

Your booking confirmation should show what your GTY is for XB-GTY is for an "external" balcony.

In the meantime, I've had mine assigned since booking date, 310 days out approximately. Timing for GTY assignment is indeed all over the place.

Mine came at day 70

My last one came the night before sailing. My cabin steward was expecting 2 women. I assume they won a Royal Up bid. I was happy, got oceanview instead of inside.

Not sure what you mean. What I do know is the app on my phone is not working for this cruise. My set sail pass on line says:

Reprint  Gnty   Muster station D17.

The Setsail pass usually has a barcode on the right - use a barcode decoding app to see what the underlying numbers are - it should be <booking number - cabin #> (if assigned internally).

Seems to me there should be a cabin assignment if the muster station is listed.

[Namelocg]

Just tried that. Said invalid bar code. It's no big deal, there will probably be lots of empty cabins.

That happened to me once. I rescanned and it worked.

got my assignment at 2 weeks, muster station at 45 days.  Adding the set sail pass to apple wallet at 45 days, the number after the - was the cabin I eventually got assigned, so you could try that if you have an iphone.  Open up the app, click on your account and click view set sail pass.  there should be a button to add to apple wallet, from there you can see the number under the barcode.

Can you suggest a good app, please?

On a PC in a browser you can use https://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx - you'll need to save the image (using the Snipping tool) of the barcode first.
