Just wondered if anyone that booked a Category 12 Guarantee has been assigned a cabin yet?

Also for those that have cruised Disney before are there upgrades available at the pier like other cruiselines do at the pier if cabins are available?

If so were there any good deals to be had?

We're in a guaranteed 12 too. Party of 4 so expect no less than an 11. I posted a thread that asked the DIS community to submit fresh opinions and experiences of what they got if they had a guaranteed reservation. Here was the last tally I ran on Aug 8th...

So what are the odds - in a totally non-scientific - uncertified - and statistically insignificant way? We're at 1306 viewings and 56 votes or opions reported... and this is getting statistically significant.

Well - if you start in a 12 then the odds of getting a catagory ....

12 = 17.9%
11 = 21.4%
10 = 16.1%
9 = 23.2%
8 = 10.7%
7 = 3.6%
6+= 7.1%​

Put another way ... the odds for a veranda or 5+ catagories are 10.7%; and for a window or 3+ catagories = 33.9%; and for an inside cabin that is above a 12 or +1 or 2 catagories = 37.5%. It looks like it is an 82.1% chance for something better than a catagory 12 -or- better than the level at which you reserved. IE - you reserve a catagory 6 guarantee and GET a "6".

So... now that we have some developing statisitical significance here... the good news simply is that its' not all that bad. Especially with no one voting they has a BAD cabin assignment. Some posted that they went lateral on their guarantee assignment by buying an upgrade and new location.

I'm still waiting for my guarantee 12 assignment - and as such - I am hoping DCL will not find a quad cat 12 for me INSIDE the engine room. We've never booked a guarantee cabin before (that I can recall... sometimes I think I might be having a "senior moment" sometimes). At any rate - with 1300 visits and 51 responses I think we have a working impression of what goes on. Maybe if we get some interesting changes in the total votes I'll resummarize this - otherwise I think it's time to let this thread fade.

Cheers everyone - and thank you for your contributions, curiosity and interest.

For those that are not DVC members, how did you book this cruise?

a. straight thru disney website
b. Dreams unlimited - how was the discount?
c. other travel agent

?

We have owed DVC since 1993 but our family (6) cruised last December so I used points for that cruise (2 cat. 11's) which took all of this years points as well as most of next years so we paid cash for this trip. I booked through another TA.

Good morning everyone! A beautiful morning here at the Happiest Place on Earth! Only 73º.... what a difference! Supposed to be 95º later though...
We are up early to run some errands, get in some groceries and then work on some projects. Will hit DTD this evening and play in the parks starting tomorrow.
Wish you were all here......
