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

[pgbear]

Well, I have a OGT for the 2015 EBTA in 9c category. 4 persons in cabin. 5100 total. Current pricing for that room on DCL site starts at 9100 for same party size



QUOTE="BerardFam;52804984"]On average, how much of a cost saving is there by going with a VGT or an OGT or IGT? I am looking to go on the April 18 Fantasy Eastern Caribbean cruise, I need 2 rooms since there are 6 of the us and am trying to determine if it is worth waiting to see if a VGT is offered or not? I do have small children so the location of the rooms is important, trying to see if the cost saving is truly worth it? thanks[/QUOTE]

 

[PIGLETSMOMMA]

Well, actually there are no IGTs or OGTs either. No discounts at all.

keep your eyes peeled as they can come and go at any time...
Good Luck!

3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 11
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? Very happy! Deck 8, forward but closer to mid-ship than all the way forward. Cabins below and above, and it looks like it's a quick walk to the stairs, couple floors up to Cabanas and couple down to the kids clubs.

I would be VERY happy with any of the rooms assigned so far for the Jan 10 Fantasy sailing.

@lotofheart - You've got a Deluxe Family stateroom, which means the awesome round tub with the rain shower!

I'm sailing Jan 31... Can't wait to get my assignment... going to run on here ASAP and report back!

Those are very nice rooms. We got one once as a free upgrade from a 5E and we LOVED it.

 

[lotofheart]

That is great Dawainy - no idea what a rain shower is or why it is good but I will trust you - this is our first cruise. I was wondering if we did not want to be higher (but I suspect due to my health issues they put us close to Oceaneers Club (right on top of it!) and close to elevators. Maybe I imagining them being that thoughtful but so far Disney has impressed - great customer service.

I am looking at the January 19th cruise on the Dream. They have yet to release VGT rates. What are my chances that they still might?

Honestly, I doubt they will release VGT rates on this particular cruise, it is during a school holiday for many people. The fares are fairly low as they stand..if I were you I would book the Oceanview rooms and then try to upgrade at port to verandah or hope you get pixie dusted and you are assigned a verandah room...that does happen. But with 2 weeks before departure, they are more focused on assigning rooms and getting the details worked out. If GT rates come out, they usually pop out at day 45 or day 30, not 14 days before...with this being a school holiday, chances are they don't need to offer GT rates.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We booked VGT around October 31 for a Jan 4 cruise on the Wonder. We have a 4 E family ocean view with veranda, HA. We were assigned 13 days before sailing. Very pleased.

 

[KCSaraK]

1. IGT, OGT or VGT? OGT Wonder, 1/14/14
2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 9 days
3. What category and room #? 9C, 2020
4. Are you happy? I think so? I know nothing about this room or deck really, but it seems convenient to the stairs/elevators, so that's good. Wasn't expecting a miracle so I'm just happy with a room that was cheaper.
5. Rooms close together? Not really, but not bad...they had VGT so they are in a verandah room...6544. So we're close to the same elevators/stairs, which is good.
6. How many days before departure did you book? About 2 months.

1. IGT, OGT or VGT? OGT Wonder to Bahamas, 1/14/14
2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 9 days
3. What category and room #? 9C, 2026
4. Are you happy? Seems great location-wise - right across the hall from the elevators. Concerned about noise but overall happy (got the big port hole the kids were hoping for!)
5. Rooms close together? N/A
6. How many days before departure did you book? 60 days or so

Do you have to have completed online check-in before you get your room assignment? We are just waiting on our new passports to arrive (January 19!). Or is it possible to get a room without completing the check-in?

You don't have to complete the Check-in first to get your assignment. Good luck!
