Guaranteed Balcony - Wonder

Question... I am not as concerned about what balcony I am going to get, but moreso the fact that I even HAVE a guarantee balcony. I just upgraded from a casino comp (free interior) to a guarantee balcony for free. Actually, the guarantee was cheaper than the interior. 

 

Now, that seemed suspicious enough but I went for it. I asked the agent, "Just to confirm, this is for a guarantee balcony?" He said, "Specifically this is for an ocean view guarantee balcony." Okay, I thought. Until I logged into my account and checked my invoice and all it says is "#GTY". 

 

Please tell me he did not sign me up for a guarantee interior? Does everyone else with Balcony Guarantee see the same thing in their account, or does it say Balcony GTY? Thank you!

My invoices for balcony gty just say GTY (and I have been getting assigned balconies when appropriate). Of course, my inside gty invoices also just say GTY🤪 (those are always assigned insides as expected).  So, the passenger simply cannot tell from an invoice alone.  
 

If you remain concerned, you could call (and ask letter code booking category.  Oceanview balcony gty are generally category XB.  Maybe call the C&A desk this time, especially if you think of a loyalty question, too😉

On 3-13-24 I booked a last minute deal (guaranteed ocean balcony) on Wonder of the Seas for a 4-14-24 cruise. Had my balcony assigned 2 days later the sametime my OBC posted. I got deck 6  starboard side a dozen or so cabins forward from the back. The price was like $1200 cheaper than picking my own cabin. 👍👍

I was able to use the barcode trick at 45 days to see mine and it was official at 30 days.

Book a guaranteed balcony on the Wonder of the Seas......  Curious to know what other's experiences have been with cabin placement.  And, wondering when we will know the cabin assignment.  The cruise is in late June.

We booked Guaranteed rooms several times on RCCL and Celebrity with good results.  We just booked a last minute GTY cruise for this Sunday on Wonder but don't have the location just yet.  We are expecting it to be a "not so good" stateroom, BUT......I'll just take earplugs!
