For the first booking, I booked 8 staterooms with RC directly and then transferred the bookings to my TA approximately 2 weeks later, within those 2 weeks I was assigned the rooms. For the second booking, booked directly through TA. On this note, I would highly recommend using a TA, although I have only booked cruises myself in the past, the TA makes such a big difference... a weight off your shoulders.

Update - A few days ago I was assigned the stateroom for January 2026 Sailing 692 days out! That has to be a record of some sort. It was a Guaranteed Balcony, unfortunately it was fully obstructed balcony on Deck 6, but had by travel agent get it changed to Deck 7 with only a 10% obstruction. Both of my room assignments were approximately one week from booking the GTYs.

We are sailing on Liberty of the Seas Oct 19-25 2024 and have 8 GTY Interior staterooms booked ($700 savings on each stateroom for GTY). We booked on Feb 9, 2024 and within 10 days had all the staterooms assigned, 240+ days out! Is this the earliest you've ever seen a room assignment? Also, we just booked 2 GTY Balcony Staterooms for a 12 Night Sailing on Odyssey of the Seas for Jan 2026. That cruise was 699 days out when we booked. I wonder what the chances are of us getting a room assigned are within the next few weeks or months.

We just booked 8 GTY Interior staterooms 10 days ago on the Liberty of the Seas for 6 nights and we have already been assigned room numbers for 6 of the cabins 240+ days out!
