Guarantee cabin - how do you find out what you are assigned

Guarantee cabin - how do you find out what you are assigned?  Do you have to keep checking the reservation?  Do they email you?  Find out when you board?  Any of the above?

Check, or even wait till you board, like back in the good old days.

Best , easiest, and fastest method.

Eventually.  You will probably find out sooner by checking on line.

We booked a guarantee IV cabin on the Beyond for late February 2023 about a month and a half ago and I logged into my booking a week ago and saw that the cabin had been assigned. I was also able to submit an offer for a higher category once our cabin was assigned.

While it has been years since we booked a guarantee stateroom my memory is that I just checked the planner on the X website and there was the stateroom number.

I've never received an email.   I just check my reservation and eventually a room popped in.   I've had Suite Guarantees that were unassigned for 1 1/2 year before finally having room assigned.   Other times I've found a price reduction where a S1 drops below or same price as a S2 Guarantee and just have my agent change and have select a room.

One cruise I never had a room assigned but then advised 3 days before the cruise, I had won an upgrade and when I looked at reservation I saw my new room.

I booked a GTY veranda while on the Equinox.  I kept checking my X app on my phone and after a few days the cabin number showed up.  Never got an email.  I had expected a 2D but got 1B under the bridge.  I called and changed it to a different 1B closer to midship. Then I requested an updated invoice by email and printed proper luggage tags.

We will be in a suite - it's the Flora, which is why I did the "guarantee".  It was 4K cheaper than booking a specific cabin, so I figured that was a good deal given that I don't think there are any "bad" rooms - obstructed views, etc.  I'm pretty sure we'll wind up in the veranda room.  But I don't think I will book a guarantee again.  I don't like the not knowing which room, although I guess for this ship, I don't think it matters that much since I am fine with the regular veranda suite. 😁
