Still patiently waiting for my assignment! Sailing the Magic on 2/22, I know it will still be awhile, but I enjoy seeing all the others.
I'm also waiting for OGT for February 14 Fantasy.
#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship? OGT for Fantasy 2/7
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 10 days
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 9d and Room 6504
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? Having seen some pictures of this room, I am a little bit disappointed. The windows is slanted so that you may think "skyview" guaranteed instead of "oceanview".
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? n/a
#6. How many days before departure date did you book? About 30 days.

I have stayed in 6504 on the Dream and while it is sort of a bummer to have a sky view instead if an ocean view, the TONS of extra space in both the room & bathroom more than make up for it IMO.
I tried to make a fake booking for my 2/14 Fantasy sailing. At the time, their were only veranda staterooms available (I used a party of 2).
I booked an OGT for the sailing, does that mean I'll probably get a Veranda room?
Frankly, I'm going to be happy wherever I am as long as I don't have to cook or clean but, I'm a little intrigued.
Not quite...those booked prior to GT rates will likely get upgraded first...so if they booked OGty..they will move up to Verandahs so those who book OGT will get Oceanview..but if they have enough openings, they will move OGT to Verandah...kind of like first come first serve.
Just because they show 'no' availability it all changes when they start assigning rooms, since more last minute travelers are apt to pay lowest fare for inside rooms, they open those up and move pre paid passengers (GTY) better upgrades. But, I have received upgrades in GT...so just hope it's not a full ship![]()
Ok, so people seem to be learning about the cruises right before ours! We are sailing on Feb 21!
