Why is there sometimes just 1 room in a category left, and sometimes it's GTY

[WashyWashyHappyHappy95]

Seems like sometimes when there's only one room left in a category the NCL website lists the specific room. Other times when it's down to just 1 room the category shows up in GTY mode?

 

Anyone know why?

[SeaShark]

Yes, plenty of people know why.

Okay, great. Why?

Don't worry about it. If NCL thought that you needed to know "why", you would be informed already.

Maybe we could start a thread asking "why" they always seem to put the bow in the front of the ship. :rolleyes:

Without being too technical (or snarky), cruise-lines have two important goals, fill the ship & limit refunds. Let's say, I'm NCL. I have mini-suites I want to sell, but determine the price point they will go for is the same price as a balcony. If I lower the price to the balcony, I may sell the mini-suites, but upset those currently booked in a mini. But if I sell a GTY balcony and bump someone to a mini, everyone is happy. So often when they sell a GTY, there really are no cabins left in that category, they just know they can sell remaining cabins at that price.

Wow you sound like a pleasant human being.

Please don't give them any ideas. The "Why?" threads are already bad enough without adding fuel to the fire.

Easy answer.

 

They do not have any more cabins left, at least in that category to assign you a room. They can sell the GTY and eventually they will put you in a room in that category, or move you to a higher one.

 

Next question of course, is how do find more cabins?

Easy again. Somebody may cancel. Somebody may call and pay to upgrade. Somebody may get a bid upgrade thing. (do not ask about that here - there are already enough threads talking about that).
