Jeff Barber Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 We were just assigned room 11127 on Ovation of the Seas. Looks like it’s on one end right by the Adventure kids area. Any thoughts on this location? Is it possible to get reassigned if this location sucks? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 What makes you think your reassigned room location would be any better? They aren’t going to let you choose your GTY room location. If location is important to you, you probably shouldn’t book a GTY cabin next time. You cannot think you get to have both the lower GTY price and get to be reassigned to cabin location that pleases you. If you wanted the later, you should have paid for it.

Pooch Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 If you have been assigned a cabin you don’t like and IF there is a cabin in that same category (most be the same!), you can call & ask politely if you could be moved. Be prepared for no and be happy if they say yes. Pattycruise, Randon1234 and Villageidiot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos A. Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Don't listen to Ryan, once you've been assigned you can call and asked to be moved to any other same category cabin available, as many times as you want. I've done this several times, once I even got an "upgrade" without asking and without paying anything extra from an Inside to a Virtual Balcony but YMMV.

Ryan79 Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Good for Carlos that things worked out for him in the past. This isn’t the past. Cruise ships are at 100%+ capacity these days so switching a GTY cabin to a better location after you board the ships isn’t as easy as it used to be. Pretty hard to switch to a better cabin, if they don’t exist. Even if there is availability, you will get even worse options than when your cabin was assigned. You are banking on people with better locations being no-shows. Good luck depending on that!! Sharla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Point is this is possible. Might be a long shot but it can and does happen. There is zero risk in asking the question. Not EVERY ship on EVERY sailing is 100%+. Randon1234, Pattycruise, asquared17 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morganno Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 We were lucky we went with GTY as it was 600€ cheaper for two inside cabins than pick your own €150pp. We got Deck 9 on explorer with virtual balcony right next to each other. I would have definitely called to see had I been given what I consider a "poor" cabin. Although I have to say any cabin on a cruise ship is better than no cruise.

CanHardlyWait Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 See thread: Crown loft continual hammering. Don't assume any particular cabin will be better or worse because of location (or price). I always get a gty and never ask to change in advance. You truly never know in advance what will be a quiet cabin and what won't. There could be a wall of closets between yours and that area next to you. It might actually be better. You could be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos A. Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Or you could find a bad review for the specific cabin you got and then ask to be moved. As I said, YMMV I had assigned an interior cabin that had some reviews that described it as a very noisy cabin, specially in the early morning, so I just called and asked to be moved to another cabin that didn't had that problem.

I was looking at it from the original posters point of view. Making a case for problems based on assumptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
