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

[Dug720]

Guess I'm getting anxious. We sail on Monday 12/10 (a week away) on the Dream and when I log into the Disney Cruise website, at the top it says GTY, but when I scroll down it says:

Your Stateroom: GTY
Category: VGT

Based on what I'm reading...the worst case scenario is that we'll get a room number assigned when we arrive at Port Canaveral? I'm kinda hoping to get assigned sooner though so I can learn a little more about the location and any nuances. I see others that posted that they've been assigned a few weeks in advance so I wonder what the difference is.

The difference is you have a VGT (meaning ANY verandah, not a specific category verandah)and those are assigned usually 10ish days out.

This thread is GTY where people pick a category (4E, 9C, 8B, etc) but not a cabin number. These are usually assigned 50ish days out.

But ANY cabin with a guarantee status (either type) can be assigned as late as at the port.

#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 10
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 11A, 6067

You have the right thread. My impression is that most people have assignments by one week out, but they can assign up to port arrival. I think Tuesdays are lucky for assignments. Fingers crossed for you!!

#1. What category GTY cabin did you book? VGT x2
#2. What category and room # did you get? 4E 5026 & 5028
#3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 12
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? excited for location and extended verandah. Not excited my boys have to share a bed and my teen gets to sleep on the couch bed. Family of 6, rooms sleep 3 each. It will be fine, but I would have preferred one of the rooms to have the pullman bed. First priority was connecting, as we got it, so I won't whine. haha!
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? connecting
#6 What ship are you sailing? Fantasy
#7. What day of the week was you cabin assigned. Monday
8. What time of day was your cabin assigned? not sure, checked at 11:30am and it was there.

Well, got assigned 8640 on the Dream! It's an aft Deluxe Veranda. Seems like a good spot to be, sandwiched between staterooms above and below, so hopefully minimal noise outside of normal hallway noise

This is my first cruise and I'm excited!

There might be some noise later in the evening due to tables being repositioned for the next night, but there shouldn't be a lot of noise at night, or early morning?
