Let's use this thread to keep track of IGT, OGT and VGT assignments?

[helenb]

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship? VGT on Dream
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 60 days

#6. How many days before departure date did you book? 60 days

Wait a minute.... you booked VGT on Dream and had your assignment the same day, 2 months in advance???? Wow!

Oops! I will update that. I just got it today. I meant to put 10 days. Everyone said they were getting assignments 12 days out. It's amazing how long these last 2 days felt just waiting and waiting!

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship? VGT Fantasy
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 11 days on Monday
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 5B, #8162
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? I'm pretty happy with it, although I would have been happy with any verandah category except 7A
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? N/A
#6. How many days before departure date did you book? 70

**Interesting Update FYI** I just checked my reservation online today...haven't really checked it for a little while after getting my VGT assignment. DCL had changed our assigned room it's now a category 5A and instead of being on deck 8 it's on deck 9. So even after you get your room assignment it seems that they can change your stateroom up until you're at port we sail in 2 days.

I hope not! I sent a package to myself under the assigned stateroom!

We just booked a VGT on the Fantasy for the 6/16 sailing
We were assigned 7608/7610. I believe cat 4C
We are beyond thrilled since we are a family of
five and were hoping to at least be on the same
deck ----now we are CONNECTING!! Yeah!!
We booked 14 days in advance. Yikes--better
start packing!!

I think it would be interesting to see what kind of rooms are being assigned when booking a IGT, OGT or VGT room. I'm interested to see what categories are assigned, if the assigned rooms are in desirable locations, etc. I didn't see a thread that followed these over time, so if you booked one of these rooms could you please post your assignments when you get them (or post now if you recently got your assignment)? Please include:

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship?
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room?
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get?
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location?
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together?
#6. How many days before departure date did you book?

I think tracking this info over time will give us a better idea of what we might anticipate when booking one of these bargain rooms...

Yay! I can finally post info on this thread (since I'm the OP)!!!

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship?3 VGT rooms on the Fantasy

We just booked 2 VGT rooms for August. By the looks of things, it seems as though Disney attempts to put the linked reservations as close as possible. I'm hoping our rooms are close as well. Very exciting. Once we get our assignments, I'll post the results for everyone, although, we won't get them until the end of July. Thanks everyone and keep posting your results.

I haven't received my assignment yet but the statistics nerd in me forced me to figure out my chances of getting a great room. As far as Verandah rooms go-

A little less that 3% are Category 7.
A little more than 3% are Category 6.
49% are Category 5.
40% are Category 4.
Less than 5% are Concierge.

So statistically speaking, chances are really good that you will get a Category 4 or 5 room.

Did you mean to type Cat 4 instead of Cat 7?
Also, there is a chance that you could get a concierge room from a VGT?
I just posted that question and nobody seems to know.

Ooops yes I did thanks. I edited it.
