rundent Posted May 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Has anyone heard of a case where Oceania couldn't, by any means, get a cabin for a guarantee passenger? I've read where the cruise line just keeps boosting the offers till it works, but what if still no one budges? I assume that you could guess that I am two weeks out from my next cruise with a Gty. It's a little exciting, but not worth the tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Traveler Posted May 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2016 We were offered upgrade from window cabin to penthouse suite on a longer cruise. We said yes immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the ship is entirely sold out in every category. Don't let it stress you, if you have a guarantee, you'll sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GeezerCouple Posted May 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2016 We were offered upgrade from window cabin to penthouse suite on a longer cruise. We said yes immediately. You'll either get a remarkable upgrade like SD_Traveler, or you'll get your own GTY category or maybe one higher because, yes, Oceania did keep sweetening those offers to get others to upgrade or switch to different cruises altogether. Last year, we were offered a remarkable switch to a much longer cruise, with some cash back. IF we could have traveled on those dates, we would have given it some serious thought. But it wasn't possible for us to switch. Someone else probably did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SellaVee Posted May 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Have you checked your online account on the Oceania website? Sometimes you can find a cabin number has been allocated by looking there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roothy123 Posted May 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 16, 2016 We've probably had a GTY on a "G" category (inside) room 6 or 7 times now, and never had a problem. We've generally gotten our room assignment a week or two pre-cruise. To us it's almost fun not knowing until late in the game where we'll be. Other people probably can't stand that. Usually what happens is that we'll get a call around that time, asking if we'd like to move to a veranda room for a particular amount of money. Most of the time we accept; sometimes we don't. If Oceania makes you an offer, though, you need to jump on it, or it will be offered to the next person on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbits Posted May 17, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2016 On our September, 2015 cruise, we got a call from our TA when at the airport waiting to depart (we were flying to Barcelona 3 days before departure) that we were finally assigned a cabin and got upgraded 2 categories. Will admit it was nerve racking not knowing but getting that call definitely got our trip started on the right foot! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindy028 Posted May 17, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't worry, as has been said you are guaranteed a cabin in at least the category you booked, you may get an upgrade, what a lovely surprise that would be, you'll have a fabulous cruise, just enjoy!

Rare FetaCheese Posted May 17, 2016 #11 Share Posted May 17, 2016 had a gty cat g for 4 months. also received many many upgrade or alt voyage offers. could not take them because we were traveling with another couple (booked in A2) and they did not get ANY offers cabin was assigned 2-3 days before. it was upgraded --no charge--to cat E, outside obstructed, but the best of any obstructed ever, huge picture window with just a small, small commanders life boat in view.

rundent Posted May 18, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted May 18, 2016 No worry. We get gty on every cruise and have always got a good deal. What cruise are you on? British Isles Tapestry for 6/1/16 in a A1. I'm truly not worried. Just was wondering if it has ever happened and if it did, what would they do? Of all the cruise lines and all the cruises departing everyday around the world, never once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheus4356 Posted May 20, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The whole point of a guarantee is that it is guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
