shay869 Posted January 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I have GTY cabin on the Freedom for the next summer. I have got the cabin assignment few weeks ago, as i didn't like the location of the cabin i have got , I have call RCCL in order to switch to another room at the same category. They have just told me that GTY cabin cannot be change after the assignment, and i have to stay at the same cabin i have got. Did anybody succeed to change GTY cabin assignment? Its very strange that they force me to stay at cabin i don't want. I will appreciate your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you are booked under US/Canadian rules, the cruise line normally lets you change your assigned stateroom to another in the same exact category. If you are not booked under US/Canadian rules, then they may not let you change. I have read that UK bookings cannot be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted January 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you are in the US call again. It helps if you have your cabin number picked out and DON'T mention that you have a guarantee. Just say that you want to change from cabin xxxx to cabin xxxx Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cel_cruise Posted January 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2017 UK callers seem to have luck but must be more persistent. Make sure to have another cabin in the same exact category (D3, E2, etc) picked out before you call. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted January 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Some have reported being able to be "put back into the GTY pool" - you can ask for that if switching cabins is denied again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Agree...it's obvious that you need to prepared to to accept what you are given when you sign up for the grab bag in return for enjoying that lower price. Roll the dice...get lucky...but maybe not so lucky. Edited January 16, 2017 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto -GTY means GTY that's the risk for saving 20% or more! Its also depending on you TA because they block out cabins to give their customers good deals, but normally they have to take the less than ideal cabin location.

That is their stated policy but as is usual for RCI, enforcement is inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
