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

[JLDSMD]

Hoping the 10/27 rooms are released today. I just went to DCL's site to see what's still available and it says the cruise date is sold out. Hope that means they are assigning the rooms (there were a lot of unassigned rooms showing up yesterday).

10/20 has been that way for a while now, but have any of you on that cruise gotten an assignment yet for XGT?

It could go as late as check-in to find out what room we get. That's the thing with booking this way. Good thing we're just doing carry-on bags this trip. If we don't have a room, we won't be checking any bags at the port. They will all come on with us.

I did NOT even think of that!! eeek. We have played this game before - and our room was assigned 14 or 15 days out. Was hoping it would be the same this time

We got ours at 12 days out last time. We're at 10 now, so hoping soon.

Just surprised we haven't heard anything from the people that are on the 10/20 or 10/25 sailings. They may just not be DISers.

I thinking/hoping by next Tuesday.

they have pulled the 10/25 and 10/27 Magic sailings from the computer not because they are full but because they are trying to rebook people from the 10/20 cancelled cruise. I'll bet it will be a few days until you receive your rooms.

I thought 10/25 was pulled last week (or earlier), but I saw that they are trying to accommodate the 10/20 people on the 10/27, hence the pulling of that cruise.

I don't expect to get our room assignment until maybe next Tuesday as DCL will still be working through getting the 10/20 people situated.

We are OGT on Wonder for 11/2. Still waiting for our cabin and hoping its not the smaller portholes. Will have to wait and see. One thing this thread (which I just found) did not include was Castaway Club (what level) of membership is everyone - we were told this comes into play with cabin assignments. Wonder if it really does? We are Gold.

It would be interesting to know if Castaway Club level comes into play, but I don't think there is anyway to find out. Based on our experience, 10 plus cruises, 4 of which have been *GT, I don't think it does.

On our current reservation (Fantasy 10/26 next week, see post above), we booked VGT and got 4C, which I think is very good (Family ocean view with verandah). We are platinum. My parents booked the same (they are silver) and was linked to ours. They got same category, 4C, connecting to ours. I was thinking maybe we were assigned a larger cabin because we are a family of 4, but then again my parents are only 2 and got the same thing. Maybe because we are platinum, but then again they are silver. Maybe they got the larger cabin because they are linked to ours? Who knows, maybe it's all random.

Two cruises ago, being platinum, we reserved OGT in the Wonder and got deck 1 with the two little portholes, which we really hated. So being platinum or being a family of 4 didn't make a difference for that one.

Thee may be more things that come into play here, like how full the cruise is, what cabins are available, etc. it's hard to know.

We have only ever done one *GT rate (IGT) and got assigned an 11C. At the time BF and I were both Silver - his fifth and my third cruise. Even with GTY rates (other than his very first cruise) we have never been upgraded out of the "number" category we booked (have had C to A twice and D to C once). We are now both Gold. Personally I think the less cruises you have booked or have done the more likely you area to be upgraded, lol. Once you hit Gold they know you will come back.

No, it doesn't.
