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

I guess it depends on what catagory you are in now and when the GT rates show up.....

If you cancel within this period:

Suites/concierge staterooms:
45 + Days prior to sail
Loss of Deposit per guest.

Non-suites/concierge staterooms :
74 - 45 Days prior to sail
Loss of Deposit per guest.

All Categories:
44 - 30 Days prior to sail
50% of vacation price per guest

All Categories:
29 - 15 Days prior to sail
75% of vacation price per guest

All Categories:
14 Days or less before sailing
No refund
 
I may be wrong about this, but I believe that you could always rebook your cruise as a VGT, or whatever, and get the difference back on your original amount, if a deal came up after you pre-booked. (For example: If you paid $6000 total for a 4C cabin, and then a VGT total price of $4000 came up at a later date, you could rebook the cruise as a VGT, get $2000 back, and still have a cabin on the same cruise, but it may not be as nice a cabin) HTH.

Not quite as simple as this. If a *GT rate comes up BEFORE your paid in full date then yes, you would have to CANCEL that first reservation (not modify it to a #GT) and book the *GT (pay in full at time of booking and wait for the refund on the other cruise).

But, if *GT rate comes out AFTER the penalty period starts and you still want to book the *GT then you would have to cancel your current reservation and take the hit on whatever the penalty is for cancelling. Might not be worth it to cancel and rebook.

Thanks for all the information! I've been PIF for a while now, even though my PIF date isn't until March sometime. I don't want to take the risk of cancelling and rebooking for a cheaper rate even though this cruise is the most expensive cruise I've been on to date! Nobody does it better than Disney :cool1: I've been looking forward to this cruise since I first heard they were going to Greece!

However, my next cruise, I may wait to book and see if I can get a better rate :) I know I'm taking a chance, it's just that with this one, I didn't want to take the risk. Thanks again everyone! I love this board!:love:

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship?*
Booked VGT on the 1/26/13 sailing of the Fantasy .
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room?*12
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get?*7602, I think that's Category 4C.
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location?*Happy.
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together?*N/A
#6. How many days before departure date did you book?About 60 days.

Notes: We originally had room 10600 Cat 4a, which we booked day one with on board discount for 4970.00. A few days before the pay in full date we decided to switch to this VGT rate for 3781.00 for 2 adults 2 kids. We thought it would be worth the risk if we could get anywhere near the Cat we had originally and save the 1200.00. Since we ended up with a Cat 4c, we think it paid off. Although any verandah would have been fine by us. We leave in 3 days for a precruise week at WDW.

I'm confused...:confused3 I thought they wouldn't release vgt or any _gt rates until AFTER the PIF date? Thanks!

#3 What category room did you book?

This is the *GT thread, not the GTY thread, so specific category doesn't apply. No one would be able to answer it. The general room type booked (inside, oceanview, verandah) is answered in question #1.
 


I am a planner, but the VGT rate was too good to pass up (last minute trip). We're 23 days out and waiting...

I decided to post just because mine doesn't seem to fit the pattern. I was checking rates online and was offered the VGT rate. Seemed like a good price, so I booked it. I was expecting to have to wait until closer to the cruise to get the room assignment. However, it was there when I logged into the DCL website a week after the PIF date ... I guess maybe someone didn't pay in full? :confused:

You sure you booked a VGT rate and not a GTY ? They are still offering IGT/OGT/VGT for this cruise - *GT rates NEVER come out before PIF...

The ship only shows a few available rooms and I'm still homeless. I am totally out of my comfort zone...no plans and no control. :crazy2:

**edited to add** it sold out yesterday. Yikes! I've never cruised on a sold out ship.
 
18 days until my sailing... Dying to get my assignment. Booked a VGT on the Dream and from what I am reading here it seems people are generally pleased with their rooms. Stupid question: do we get an email or something or do I need to just keep checking my online reservation??
