tiffrobyn Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 I know I can't be the only one who obsessively checks for a Gty stateroom assignment. We booked about 10 days ago on the Symphony for an upcoming sailing. I booked two rooms in a Gty Neighborhood Balcony and I've been obsessively checking for a room assignment ever since. Online still says Gty but the app this morning is a beacon of hope! One room says Deck 14 and a Muster of F01. The other says Deck 8 and a Muster of F04. Stateroom number still says Gty but I'll keep obsessively refreshing! csteph 1 Quote
twangster Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Until the cabins are assigned that could be a placeholder and inadvertent leak through the app. Do come back and let us know if that app tidbit proved to be accurate. The Cruise Junkie and Adriana 1 1 Quote

I definitely will. I love to figure out how these things work! Quote
twangster Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 One theory is that they have assigned a muster station so that the Royal Up algorithm can do it's thing right up to T-24. Under Royal Up if they are moving people who bid on an upgrade, they have to respect muster station capacity. By allocating your muster, they can let Royal Up determine if it is possible to upgrade people who have placed a bid into a particular muster zone. I suspect that is likely where you will end up.

tiffrobyn Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Posted February 25, 2019 I think you're on to something. When I go online and print the Set Sail pass the Deck says "Reprint", Stateroom says "Gty" but the Muster is the same. Quote
ama537621 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 I noticed today that my upcoming cruise on Harmony of the seas now shows Deck 14 stateroom GTY with a muster C04. Cruise date is 4-28. Hopefully my actual room # will show up soon. Quote

We ended up upgrading to an OceanView balcony on the one that was originally assigned 14 but the one that was assigned Deck 8 and Muster F04 turned out to be right.

Cat2721 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 My husband and I are sailing on Harmony Dec 8, 2019. We booked a gty oceanview balcony. I know, from the Facebook page for this sailing, some people with gty staterooms have rec'd their stateroom assignment, but we have not. I was wondering if your cruise has to be paid in full before they assign your gty stateroom. Any thoughts? Quote

Shell131 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 I have 19 days to go and still says gty. I have been checking every day for a stateroom #. I don't know why, but I really want to know where my room is. Quote

Curt From Canada Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 I am little bit too late to this thread. However, I am keeping database when GTY actually get assigned. Just reply to this post with any current or past information (I am really just interested when the cabin was assigned). 42 days out from our Anthem Cruise ... I have to do something.

bobbydx Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 I am booked for 41 days out on interior GTY on Oasis. Still not been assigned but do have muster station and deck 7 showing on mobile app. I will update once i have room assigned. I have also put in for royal up to ocean view and ocean balcony so we will see how that goes. Quote
Jolly Ogre Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 We did not get our cabin assignment on Indy last month until about 10 days out. Quote

Curt from Canada I did a GTY on Rhapsody (a much smaller ship) and was assigned my room 125 days out. I can only guess with it being a smaller ship, and it being a Spring Break cruise, it filled quickly..... Quote
Curt From Canada Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Limited data set ... still it tells the story that: 1) A few get a very, very early assignment. 2) If you are under 100 days out with no assignment, you are in for a wait. 3) Getting assigned with less than 10 days out is rare. I will add to the data as more rolls in. Curt from Canada IRMO12HD, CFL, WAAAYTOOO and 2 others 2 3 Quote

Fairlynew Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 I booked two GTY interior cabins and one GTY balcony on Navigator fall of 2018. All three rooms were assigned at time of final payment (90 days out) and all three had a slight "upgrade"-the interior cabins had virtual balconies and the balcony was a spacious balcony room. This was for a 7 night sailing before it was amped. Quote

Anecdotal data only. I have conducted no scientific study. The more people tell me their stories, the more the data becomes an accurate predictor. Today I received 5 more sets of data, that I will include is future updates.

CruisinUpinLife Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 My GTY OV room for FOTS 1/5/2020 showed up in September 2019 I believe. I booked in June 2019. Quote
dr martini Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Booked a GTY balcony for Navigator 4 day on 2-10-20 back in early Sept of 2019. Deck 8 and Muster B07 showed up a couple weeks ago, but still no room assignment. Just over 20 days out now. Will let you know when room becomes final. Quote

CruzOnBye Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 This is so cool seeing the results everyone is ending up with in choosing GTY! We just selected GTY for the first time! We're still at the "interior level" but hey, maybe it will be upgraded to a tiny view lol! It will be on Odyssey of the Seas 2021, so I'm sure it will be awhile before we get an assignment. We also booked a cruise this month for a sailing in May 2020 on Indy, and we asked about GTY but they were actually not available which I thought was interesting. I kinda liked rolling the dice and seeing where we'll end up, especially on Odyssey next year! We never have a preference on where we're at, we feel like we're not in the room enough to care, and when we are, we're passed out hard from all the fun! Good luck to all of you waiting to see where you'll end up! Quote
