Any comments from anyone who has experience with this??? I have done this several times and they have all worked out OK. Not sure if was lucky but would not worry you will be fine.Have a nice cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 19, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2009 There really are no "bad" balconies....you'll be paying less for whatever you get...so it's all good! If location was that important, you wouldn't have booked an unassigned cabin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasue Posted October 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2009 We've booked a GTY on every cruise we've ever been on.... never had a bad one.... often had great ones!! One cruise we were upgraded from OV GTY to a wonderful aft balcony.... for an 11-day transatlantic cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtocruise08 Posted October 20, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted October 20, 2009 thanks for your comments. We figured the same thing, there aren't any "bad balconies". For the price it will be worth it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbugohio Posted October 20, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2009 thanks for your comments. We figured the same thing, there aren't any "bad balconies". For the price it will be worth it!! luvto, when did you book?? We just upgraded from a outside to a balcony guarantee on Saturday. Now its driving me crazy waiting to be assigned. I know its only been a couple of days, but I just want to know where we are at. I am more anxious than nervous. I am just happy to be back in a balcony. Only 25 days, I hope I find out in time to reprint the set sail and order new luggage tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtocruise08 Posted October 20, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted October 20, 2009 water, we booked only two weeks ago and still have a balance so we don't have an assigned room yet. I was told that as soon as it's paid off to expect to receive a cabin number within a couple of days. Good luck and happy cruising!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2two2 Posted October 20, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2009 We booked a GTY and paid the balance off about a week ago. The final payment date has not passed however, Oct 28th. We do not have a cabin assignment yet and I have heard it can be up until a few days before the cruise even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHCruisinDad Posted October 20, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2009 We switched from an assigned balcony to a GTY on the Splendour in September and got an aft JS plus credit back! I don't think there are any bad balcony cabins or suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
