researchfreak90 Posted March 9, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2020 With all the craziness going on with COVID-19 the prices for my cruise dropped in May and I used it to upgrade my stateroom to a Guarantee Balcony. After looking at the confirmation its just reads, GTY for the stateroom. If I had not spent 3 hours on hold today I would call back and ask but thats silly. My question is this. Do all guarantee rooms read GTY and the type of guarantee is on the back end and nothing to be concerned with or ???? Also, I have always chosen my room, when do they usually assign room numbers?

All guarantees read GTY for the cabin number until it is assigned. there is no specific date for when they are assigned, but when it is assigned you can change to any available cabin in the assigned category.

mike123abc Posted March 9, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Your booking confirmation should show what your GTY is for XB-GTY is for an "external" balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, I've had mine assigned since booking date, 310 days out approximately. Timing for GTY assignment is indeed all over the place.

Jasukkie Posted March 10, 2020 #12 Share Posted March 10, 2020 My last one came the night before sailing. My cabin steward was expecting 2 women. I assume they won a Royal Up bid. I was happy, got oceanview instead of inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Setsail pass usually has a barcode on the right - use a barcode decoding app to see what the underlying numbers are - it should be <booking number - cabin #> (if assigned internally).

Ocean Boy Posted March 10, 2020 #15 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Seems to me there should be a cabin assignment if the muster station is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namelocg Posted March 10, 2020 #16 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just tried that. Said invalid bar code. It's no big deal, there will probably be lots of empty cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoconnl Posted March 10, 2020 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2020 got my assignment at 2 weeks, muster station at 45 days. Adding the set sail pass to apple wallet at 45 days, the number after the - was the cabin I eventually got assigned, so you could try that if you have an iphone. Open up the app, click on your account and click view set sail pass. there should be a button to add to apple wallet, from there you can see the number under the barcode.

On a PC in a browser you can use https://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx - you'll need to save the image (using the Snipping tool) of the barcode first.
