gymlt Posted May 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I wonder how many guests haven't received the cabin assignment for GTY category? I have 9 days to sailing and no cabin assignment. The ship is sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted May 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I wonder how many guests haven't received the cabin assignment for GTY category? I have 9 days to sailing and no cabin assignment. The ship is sold out. Most likely will be assigned before the cruise and NOT be assigned at the pier. A GTY......Usually can be/assigned sometime/anytime up to a day or 2 before your cruise. Very rarely assigned at the pier. You can access bag tags/travel summary on the Princess cruise personalizer on the Princess website up to sailing day. The cabin assignment will be noted there. Sometimes people think it was assigned at the pier but had they checked the personalizer the night before their cruise they may have seen the cabin assignment at that time. Hope this makes sense. Just because it says sold out does not mean they won't have a cabin for you. Princess keeps cabins behind the scenes. They have been doing this forever and have it down to a science. You will have a cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted May 25, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The closest to sailing that I got a cabin assigned was 5 days out. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towhee Posted May 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2017 We got our GTY assignment on Ruby 5 days out. It was an upgrade worth waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted May 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I assume that you are looking at your Cruise Personalizer to see if there is a cabin assigned. Don't expect to get an email or call from Princess. Your cabin assignment will simply show up like magic on your Personalizer and should do so within the next few days.

Lucky TGO Posted May 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 25, 2017 It's all a big guess. So put me down for 5 days before the cruise. :D Good luck!! and have a great cruise. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymlt Posted May 26, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks for your replys. I was never before that close to sailing without the cabin assigned. You hear they can asign your cabin the day before or day of sailing, just never think it will happen to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Just keep checking your personalizer. We had one that was allocated about 5 days before departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted May 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 26, 2017 You may not get your cabin assignment until you board. Had that happen a couple of times. No idea why people book guarantee cabins if they're going to stress over when it'll be allocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted May 27, 2017 #14 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Once assigned is that fixed? If you are close to your sailing date then yes pretty much. Princess cruises are consistently sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted May 27, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I book guarantees a lot of the time. The latest we've seen our assignment on the Cruise Personalizer is Wednesday before a Saturday cruise--while we had already started our cruise tour in Fairbanks.

Latest we have had was 24 hours before embarkation, while we were on a plane flying to the embarkation port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGSFlorida Posted May 27, 2017 #18 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We had a BE balcony guarantee on the Royal last month. Received a BA balcony assigned 7 days before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted May 27, 2017 #19 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Had that happen a couple of times. No idea why people book guarantee cabins if they're going to stress over when it'll be allocated. I think the stress is related to the recent spat of "overbooking" issues with the US airlines. Those with guarantee cabins (including us) just want to be sure we don't arrive at the pier only to be told...no room at the inn. The consensus is that if we have a guaranteed cabin, we will get a cabin.....so, even though we're past final payment with no assigned cabin, I'm now 99% comfortable that we'll be on the ship when it sails..

The first time we heard about the idea of a guarantee cabin was 13 years ago. We meant a couple while standing in the check in line before boarding and they had booked the cruise late because some friends were on the ship and talked them into coming along. The only thing available was a guaranteed obstructed oceanview category cabin when they booked and they still hadn't received a cabin assignment when they left home that morning. They ended up with a very nice Caribe balcony cabin 2 cabins over and below us (we were on the Baja level). Sometimes things work out better than you might expect. :);):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they don't have a cabin for you, they'll give what will likely be a fantastic "move over" offer. Some move over offers are amazing!!
