Sailing Allure 10/24/2021, first post ever after reading many. Thanks for the great discussions. Booked a GTY balcony XB category back in May, 61 days out and no assignment activity as of yet. Interesting how much it can vary, but it has me thinking of reasons. I think booking price has an impact on priority of assignment and Royal Up offers. I booked awhile ago and would love a Royal Up opportunity, but would like a room assignment first. Does anyone else think that by paying more up front leads to quicker room assignment and increased offers to Royal Up?
