AnnaNicole Posted February 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have cruised many times. I usually select my own cabin, however, I am finding on RCI Anthem of the Seas 8/28/19 NE/Canada sailing - only guarantees are being offered across almost all of the balcony categories on RCI website and TA websites. It does not give you the option to select your stateroom (on Pick your own cabin) only the option to select GTY. Why are mostly all of the balconies GTYs on this particular sailing? Even when selecting a particular category? Ex: you can book a D4 GTY. D7 GTY. E1 or E2 Obstructed GTY. etc, but not a stateroom. If you book a general XB category - it says "Oceanview Balcony Guarantee." Does that mean the balcony will not be an obstructed balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought up a thread a few months ago as to the difference in RCL selects the cabin # vs you select and all RCL's web site gives you is cabin guarantee. Also, you select fare is higher than if they select. Strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a temporary thing and a maybe a glitch. XB GTY should be at a price lower than all categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were many different promotions to choose from. I chose the best overall deal on the XB. When I look at RCI cruiseplanner it shows GTY. (No category XB or balcony GTY) Is there a possibility for being assigned an Obstructed view balcony? My confirmation shows Oceanview Balcony Guarantee.

Yes, I think the X GTY category may include assignments all the way down to 2E cabins on deck 6. The inventory on RCI' UK site may tell the chances of getting one.
