[Dash1106]

1. What category GTY cabin did you book? VGT
2. What category and room # did you get? 05A (Deck 10, Forward, room 10508)
3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 09
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover?" I feel like we got a leftover. This room is all the way forward and is located under the fitness center, which previous reviews have said was a nuisance as you're woken up early by loud banging/noises from the gym. All cruise lines keep a log of which cabins get the most complaints, so I feel like DCL knows this is a problem cabin which is why they left it for a guarantee passenger. Ultimately, even with the balcony overhang from the spa and the potential for noise, I'm super excited for this cruise and will have a great time no matter what!
5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? I'm shocked that our two cabins are connecting!! We got assigned 10508 and 10510! So thrilled about that!
6. What ship are you sailing? Dream
7. What day of the week was your cabin assigned? Tuesday

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?" Happy. I always like staying on Deck 8. I knew we wouldn't get our "dream" room but I also knew for getting 40% off the fare we would have normally booked we would be fine. Normally we cruise with 4 people in our family but on this cruise it's only two, so we were ok with a smaller verandah room. This is probably the biggest reason we went VGT for the first time in 7 cruises...and it would be impossible for me to be disappointed saving almost $2k.

I leave in 16 days on the dream and still no assignment

 

[Howe]

I leave in 16 days on the dream and still no assignment

I’m 16 days out from the magic and none either. Seems like a lot of the recent ones have been less than 2 weeks out.

 

[WDWAurora]

I leave in 16 days on the dream and still no assignment

We cruised thanksgiving week and got ours 9 days out.

 

[AndreaG17]

I leave in 16 days on the dream and still no assignment

So weird, there's a lot of people on our Facebook page that booked GTY and haven't gotten their rooms yet. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

I’ll add that we are 2 adults and 2 kids. It looks like on the Magic all of the navigator’s verandah rooms only sleep 3, so I felt like we could book VGT and not get one of those. Worked out for us!
