mom2mybugs Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 So we have our set sail pass for check-in on dec 31 Harmony. It still says gty stateroom but now we have a deck (11) and a muster location (B03). Has anyone ever had the deck change on them after seeing it other than for a royal up? Just wondering!

Jane Rarely. Have you used the bar code trick to see your cabin before it is officially assigned? Bar Code Trick Method 1. If you have an Apple device, add your set sail pass to your Apple wallet. Numbers will now appear under your bar code. The numbers after the dash represent your cabin. Method 2. Scan the bar code with a QR scanner from another device and that should also show you the numbers. NOTE: If you see "GTY" instead of numbers, you truly haven't been assigned yet. One tip off is that if you don't see a muster station on your set sail pass then you almost definitely don't have an assignment yet. travellingtannis, Curt From Canada and Pattycruise 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see if my royal up gets accepted but I’m right by the elevator in a good spot! Thanks for the very clear instructions! You made my day!

I have that answer saved so I can just cut & paste it when someone asks about a GTY. I got tired of typing it since the topic comes up so often and I pretty much book GTY's exclusively since the cabin isn't important to us and I almost always switch anyway. Wound up 4 cabins apart on our last 2 cruises after switching to a location we like. We even saw our cabin attendant from the 1st cruise as he had moved a little ways down the hall but was still in the same general area.

I need to do that...I forget all the time where to find my answers that I know I've just seen! So I'm happy where I am, but if for example, I hated my spot, would my travel agent be able to see what's available and switch my location? Would she have to wait until the room number technically replaced the "gty" on the boarding pass, or does the info show up for TAs without using the "bar code trick". You may not know, but I'm just curious for future. I've done 2 gty rooms now and both were great. I've never stayed this high before (deck 11) so that will be new anyway!

I have a GTY on a cruise coming up, and still says GTY... deck and muster visible but no room. Looked under the barcode and there it is. Jnr Suite with large balcony!!

Jane If you want to switch cabins, you have to wait to be OFFICIALLY assigned (i.e. not the bar code trick, when it shows up on your documents) and then your TA can move you to any available cabin in the same exact category. I recently moved myself (didn't use a TA) twice for the same cruise within a week of it sailing, lol. 1st move was to get out of a spot we didn't like. 2nd was when a spot we really like opened up late. P.S. You can find available cabins yourself by going to the RC site and just pretend you're looking to book one. Then you can tell your TA exactly where you'd like to be moved.
