Official thread to keep track of GTY cabins ASSIGNED

[Dug720]

Looks like I'm back on the GTY-watch train (though at 199 days I'm sure I've got a while). Went with an 11C GTY on the Wonder for Presidents' Week for a couple hundred less than my originally selected (and changed and changed and changed) cabin. I figure I'm solo, I'm not planning on spending THAT much time in the cabin...might as well save the money (well, put it towards a WDW night prior to the cruise - currently booked off property for about the cost of a WDW Value, but with this difference I could justify a Mod or possibly even AKL, especially if any discounts come out) and let DCL decide since I was being indecisive. We'll see what happens!

Booked 9D
Got 9D- 6500
about 35 days before
Not very happy. It is the lowest floor with this type - so the "ocean View" is really just a view of the bow of the ship- also Handicap so no split bathroom

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has changed his stateroom a bunch of times. I must have changed our room at least a dozen times. Really tempted to book a higher category cabin but every time I do, I regret the extra money it'll cost and go back to the original room. I've also changed the location of our room looking to get as close to mid-ship as possible.

Ha! I totally hear you! I actually just went back to an OV - but kinda splitting the difference and going Ng Deck 1 OV. I like being forward and just decided not to take the chance of being put way aft.

I just changed our cabin for the June cruise on the Dream from ov to a deluxe oceanview room with verandah (5d). Then to offset the price increase I changed our room on the November cruise from an ov cabin to a standard inside cabin (11a). A little concerned about not having a split bathroom for the November cruise but the price difference helps. Still, I just might switch to a deluxe inside cabin to get the split bathroom.

I pondered the deluxe interior, but it was like maybe $30 less than a Deck 1 OV. I will eat $30 for natural light. Lol.

 

[disneynewcruiser]

I cannot believe how quickly these cruises sell out with more than a year to go.

How are the rooms on Deck 1? Pondering the same thing right now. Not sure about deck 1 though...

I have never had one. I liked Deck 2, I figured I would try Deck 1 to see. I can report back after February break.

Decided I would not be happy in room 6500 so I upgraded to GTY 7A Navigators verandah
Got 4E room 5028

1. What category GTY cabin did you book? 2 11C's
2. What category and room # did you get? 2017 on one other still in GTY
3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 8 months
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? Yes, happy about the one room, worried about the other one.
5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? One not assigned yet.
6. What ship are you sailing? Fantasy
7. What day of the week was you cabin assigned? Thursday
8. What time of day was your cabin assigned? Not sure
9. What month is your cruise? May 2018

The 11C booked through DVC is still in GTY. The 11C on cash has been assigned. Having them near each other is more important than location. Unfortunately, I can't upgrade the DVC room as we used all of our points. wondering why one was assigned so far out. Never had one assigned and not the other before. Thoughts?

No clue. Hopefully they can make it work, but if having rooms close together is of major importance, GTY or *GT is not really the way to go as there is no guarantee the cabins will be close together.

Thanks. Didn't really have a choice this time-kids in college committed too late and we were using points on one cabin and just barely had enough for the 11C that was already in GTY. Even the phone agent found it odd that one cabin was already assigned this far out! Ah well, guess we will just have to keep our fingers crossed.

 

[el_tigre]

1. What category GTY cabin did you book? 9C
2. What category and room # did you get? 9C - 2506
3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 56 days
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? Pretty ambivalent, as we got what we booked. I prefer forward to aft anyways and according to reviews, it seems like it's a fairly quiet cabin. It would have been far from my last choice if choosing my own stateroom in this category, so could have done worse too.
5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? N/A
6. What ship are you sailing? Wonder
7. What day of the week was you cabin assigned? Thursday
8. What time of day was your cabin assigned? Sometime between 9 am & 9 pm PT
9. What month is your cruise? December 2017

We had originally booked the same cruise a year out. About a month ago, when we noticed that pricing was actually cheaper if we went this year, we decided not to wait. The drawback was the only oceanview category available was 9C and that it was guaranteed status only. I prefer being on decks 5 thru 7, so I might see about upgrade options at the port, but I'm really not interested in paying much of a premium either. We're just really excited to be cruising a year earlier than originally planned.

#1. What category GTY cabin did you book? 7A (Deluxe Oceanview with Navigator's Verandah)
#2. What category and room # did you get? 5C (Deluxe Oceanview with Verandah)
#3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 35
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? It's great! This is our first cruise, so we really don't know what to expect. We were totally fine with a Navigator's Verandah but also happy with a regular verandah. Honestly, as Corey always says on the Podcast, we're just happy to be here. Deck 6 seems like a nice location, and being near the after stairs and elevator seems convenient for dining, kids clubs, and one theater. We'll see how we like it!
