Guarantee Status vs. IGT/OGT/VGT

great! Guess we’re on the same cruise. We got the same assignment. Oct. 29th 8 night cruise.
Yep that’s the cruise we are on! I was nervous not getting a verandah room but am excited for the big window to sit in!

I was excited to be upgraded to the 8B. In my mind, I was expecting deck 2. I’m on the next one too, Nov 6. So waiting for that assignment this week. I have to pack and move. Ugh.

I was expecting either an accessible room or one with small or slanted window. I’m so glad to be closer to the pool deck and to have a big window! I just hope the movement of ship way forward doesn’t bother me or my daughter.

Wow back to back cruises for 2ish weeks sound awesome! I’d love to do back to back but it’s already a struggle taking off of work for one cruise. I’m just hoping my office doesn’t implode while I’m gone. Lol

omg, we think alike. I expected the same. Now I’m waiting for my assignment today or after for my second cruise. I feel like my pixie dust might be over and I’ll end up on 2nd Floor or slanted porthole. I’ll post my results. Wish me luck.

3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 13
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover?" Not sure how I feel yet. This is my first Disney cruise so I won't really know if it's a good room or not until the trip is over. I do know that it was overall a great deal and around the same price as picking my own inside statement. The only thing I'm worried about is looking at the deck plan this room is directly below the Cadillac Lounge so I might need to bring some earplugs.

3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 41
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover?" I'm not sure! This will be our 4th cruise on DCL. We've always booked a verandah and have never been on Deck 2. We were hoping to get a higher deck, but also glad we won't have an obstructed view. Being close to both elevators should be convenient too. Looks like we're directly under the Grand Hall, so hopefully it's not too noisy. That being said, it's a 3 night cruise so we don't plan to be in the room much - why we booked the cheapest oceanview GTY rate!

I realize there's been a system to reporting here a long time but I think sometimes it could be helpful to know the number of people in a party and maybe ages of any minors. For example, It'd be interesting to see if families with 2 younger kids are with any higher frequency put into category 4 when booking VGT, compared to a party of two adults VGT.
