#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship? VGT, Fantasy Eastern Caribbean on 2/24/18
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 12 days (Monday, some time between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM)
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 6B, Deck 7, almost all the way aft
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? I would say I'm satisfied, but not overwhelmingly happy. I really did NOT want a 7A Navigator's Verandah, so this is definitely a step above that. The room is all the way aft and has the white wall verandah (not clear plexiglass) so it might be a bit of a "leftover." I checked the available rooms on the DCL website. There are definitely some Category 4 Family Verandahs and Category 5 regular Verandahs still available, so I was holding out hope for one of those. That said, I get that it's a VGT booking, so we'll roll with it and I'm sure it will still be great!
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? N/A
#6. How many days before departure date did you book? 32 days

Weirdly enough, we booked a 7A veranda then changed to a IGT a few weeks later because it was such a short 3D cruise figured we’d spend the money on art. (But we’re not inspired by what we found last week)

I know that room assignments are usually given between 14 - 1 days before departure.

However, what if the cruise is (pretty much) sold out? Do they still wait to assign room numbers?

I got two IGT staterooms for a June cruise, but saw that all inside staterooms are sold out, and there are only a dozen ocean view and veranda staterooms left. Does anyone have experience with this?

I recently, 11 days ago, completed an IGT. Along with many other IGt’s that purchased after us. My cabin was assigned about 30 days in advance but found from time to time the ship would show as sold out for several days, then would come back with interior rooms no IGT’s. Then later IGT’s would be back. You could look up 2 individuals for an interior room and you might find that there is still space. You’ll find extra spaces become available a few days after your paid in full day. The time-consuming factor for them is trying to figure out how many people they can put into the lifeboats according to how many are in each of the rooms for the lifeboat of that area. I tried to add a person to a room once where the lifeboat was full but there were rooms available throughout the ship.
So what I’m trying to say is check on Friday and I bet you’ll find different information.

#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? I got our cabin number 12 days before sail April
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 5A 10006
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? I do not want to sound like a spoilt brat, we sailed with FL resident rate few rooms away 10014 in 2017 and I did not like the overhang from upper deck. This time the overhang is even bigger since we are below concierge room forward. Also I don't care much for port side since it does not give you a view of Castaway Cay. However this room have great reviews and I should be grateful to get %A as category. So I am 99% happy.
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? NA
#6. How many days before departure date did you book? We booked Feb 26 for April 23 (approx. 2 months away)
