Well, instead of posting this right now I SHOULD be sipping coffee and taking pictures of the sun rising over the horizon from the pool deck on the Fantasy right now, but instead, I'm sitting here sipping coffee and trying to figure out how long it takes for me to go nuts not knowing what type of cabin we will have in July. My daughter and I both came down with COVID 5 days before sailing. We were good to go, testing, and then BAM- Sunday she started feeling cold symptoms and Monday so did I. Everyone's worst nightmare, right?? Can't do anything about it other than try and rearrange (and tell my husband that this is what he gets for REFUSING to buy trip insurance during a pandemic so YES I did laugh a bit and do think he tempted fate...). So now we are booked for July 9th instead and it gives me a little more time to find the water shoes I couldn't find and refine our packing list a bit since I have been working 12 hour days for the 3 weeks leading up to the trip due to a massive IT project at the hospital I work for.
Anyways, we originally had a room booked with a Veranda and due to the price difference for moving to July, we now have a category 11c GTY with no room assignment. This is my 8th DCL cruise and first without knowing my room. I'm reaching out for some of your expertise with a few questions:
Thank you in advance for answering~ Only 11 weeks left in the "new" countdown and this time I'll at least have a 90 day recovery letter (for 2 of us) and that is half the stress battle won!

- When you end up GTY, do you usually get assigned a cabin number prior to arriving at the port? If so, how much sooner?
- If you have a cabin assigned before you get to the port, can it change once you get to the port?
- I am a family of 4- my husband and I, with a 19 and 17-year-old. Will we fit if we end up in a standard inside stateroom?
- I am a bit claustrophobic which is why I always try and at least get a room with a large porthole so I can see outside. I'm a bit afraid of an inside stateroom but I know this has a Magic" porthole - does anyone have any experience with how realistic it is?
