No room assigned for 3/20/23 cruise to Northern lights

I know they can wait until the pier but what is the normal timeline? First time  on Viking.

We had a Guarantee cabin on the Sea, departing 30 Jan/23 from San Juan.  We received notice by email of our assigned cabin about 10 days prior to sail date.

Upgrade?

We have had a GTY cabin twice on Viking. Once they posted a cabin assignment just a few days after we booked (many months before the cruise) and the other time we found out at the port. I have read reports of those getting cabin assignments at all points in between.
 

Both times we were “upgraded” but within the same cabin category. From a DV6 to a DV4 once and a DV3 the other time. But honestly on Viking that just means you are on a higher deck and personally I like being on Deck 3 where the DV6 cabins are located and you have the nice atrium to sit by and listen to music in the evenings. But that’s just me. Others may prefer the higher decks. the staterooms are all the same until you get to the PV’s so there’s not much difference.

We had booked a V1 and were upgraded to a DV6.  Same cabin size and deck but my DH enjoyed the use of the coffee maker.  We also prefer being on a lower deck, so this worked well for us.

In other words, the window is so generous that there is no 'normal' time-line.
