The allocation of GTY suites

[tiggertom]

Hi

Does anyone know when they allocate GTY suites? We are on Silver Dawn on 19 November, 70 days to go, and I have been checking every day. I see people discussing their GTY allocations on other cruise going after mine so I wondered how the process works? Thanks

Hi, 🙂I booked a gty for my recent sailing to Alaska.....I got my suite between 10 days and 2 weeks before I sailed. You still have over 2 months to go........I have no idea how they decide when the cabin will be released though. I ended up calling SS asking about it and within 2 days of my phone call I received a call back and an email with my suite number.  We are still in September......I would give it another month.

With all the problems caused by the long shutdown of their systems, I imagine there are a number of non-critical things on which thy are running behind their normal schedule. 

 

If I can offer a suggestion, it would be to not check every day. Daily checking just builds in some unnecessary frustration and anxiety. You know you'll have a suite, and which suite you get won't change your planning or preparation for the trip. 🙂

I booked my Dec  cruise last April and got my suite number 2 weeks later. Unfortunately we have cancelled the trip. Too many hoops for us.

@Capri73thanks, there doesn’t seem to be an allocation process. I hope you get back to cruising soon.

My 3 GTY bookings still on the go, all got allocated relatively soon after the bookings made. Over a year in fact. My Mar 2023 was allocated several months ago - not far short of 2 years prior. I have no explanation on why some seem to be left to the wire and others so far out. It may well be my SS agent pre-empting things, though I genuinely have no idea. Alas I know the first of the 3 is about to fall and I suspect the second will also from Japan to Alaska next May.
