Before MAR 2020, I kept a database (with lots of input from this fantastic board). Below is the data (a small sample, but with some trends if you look at it). My plan is to start up again (as soon as the sailing begin ... I should have said that louder ... AS SOON AS THE SAILINGS BEGIN! ... and they will). A few observations:
1). A few get assigned very far in advance. These appear to be outliners (and the frequency may come down over time with more data).
2). Just over a month before there is an inflection point where almost half have their assignment set.
3). Almost all have been set 10-19 days before sailing.
4). All have been assigned by the time you board.

Hi Curt from Canada,
Fellow Canadian here. We booked our first GTY cabin back in March and your graph was very helpful. When our cruise fell into the 10-19 days range, I began checking our booking daily to see if our cabin had been assigned. Sure enough, 10 days out, we received our cabin assignment! (I tried the "bar code" trick and it didn't work for me.)
BTW, I am a fellow "nerd" when it comes to spreadsheets as I actually created one to compare cruises to Hawaii from Vancouver, LOL.
