thespiritmovesme Posted August 6, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2020 What is the difference between the two? We booked a cabin that was showing as Waitlist on the website but it shows up as a GTY on the invoice and we were told it was a GTY by the booking agent. I understand GTY but not Waitlist.

Rare LHT28 Posted August 6, 2020 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2020 GTY means you will be on the ship either in the cabin category your booked or higher Waitlist there are no cabins in that category now but if one becomes available you will be asked if you still want it at the going rate at that time The Waitlist has 2 lists one where people pay a deposit so have a chance of getting on the sailing if a cabin in that category becomes available one where no deposit paid so you are further down the list Ask where you stand on the list I am sure others will give a better explanation than I 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Flyer Posted August 6, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Guarantee (GTY): you WILL get a cabin. Waitlist: you MAY get a cabin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitraveler Posted August 6, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Of course that assumes the ship sails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qruzon Posted August 7, 2020 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Love the Guarantee option. With wait list, or an assigned cabin, you may get exactly what you asked for. With guarantee, you know what you will pay, but not what cabin you will be assigned to. You may not know until you check in on the day of departure. Usually, though you will know earlier. What I like is the anticipation which is a fun part of preparing for a cruise. And, if the ship is not full, you are likely to get a nice upgrade. Hope springs eternal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespiritmovesme Posted August 7, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks all. That confirms what I thought. Our cruise isn't until July '21(hopefully). We had booked a B1, the price of a PH3 dropped to the same price during the July sale, so we rebooked to the PH3 GTY. Seemed like a no brainer!
