#6. How many days before departure date did you book? 2 months

This is my third IGT/OGT booking in 2 years and unlike a lucky few, I've always only gotten what I've paid for (which is to be expected). For my first ever trip I was upgraded from Oceanview to Verandah...but since then no such luck. So maybe unlike the airlines, DCL upgrades first timers to entice them to come again rather than their more frequent guests?

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...

1) cat 11c GTY
2) 52 days out
3) 10b rm 2543
4) very happy, but since some of the 11c GTY I know on our cruise got 9d, less than entirely thrilled. I think this is one of those things where if I hadn't known other people I would've been happier.
5) just one
6) 5 months in advance

Hi all,

Such a great idea for a thread. Here is my information so hope it helps someone else out.

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship? VGT on Magic
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 16
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 6A - don't want to post room number but it's on deck 5 and we have a split bath which I really like.
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? I'm happy with it. I would have taken a 7A gladly for the price we paid for it compared to what it costs to book one outright. Plus I'm on a boat which is better than any day at work.
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? Only my DH and myself going to celebrate our 11th anniversary.
#6. How many days before departure date did you book? 21 Days

Honestly, I disliked the 9D rooms and would prefer a 10B! Hope you have a great cruise!
