cruisin from florida Posted November 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We just booked a last minute (sails in 3 weeks) cruise. Saw a good deal on a balcony guarantee and grabbed it. After a few days of barcode showing "-GTY" it is now showing a cabin number, and I'm really happy with the location. Has anybody seen their cabin number change after the barcode trick shows a cabin assignment? I don't want to get too excited if it's likely to change.

Wanna Be Retired Posted November 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I booked a gty. Put the set sail pass in my apple wallet. The last four turned out to be my cabin about two weeks later. It took two weeks to show up so I could print luggage tags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted November 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We usually go with Guarantees -- love the savings -- and the barcode trick has worked for us 100%. Once our number disappeared for a day, then the same number re-appeared -- don't know why. But, no, our cabin has never changed once it was assigned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted November 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I have used the barcode trick multiple times and it has always accurately predicted my actual cabin. I did read a CC post within the last couple months from a poster who booked an inside gty thought the barcode trick predicted a balcony cabin and was assigned an inside. I did not recognize the poster from other threads, so I have no opinion on the poster’s veracity or whether they did the trick properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted November 14, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) I just scanned my barcode for my upcoming cruise on Anthem. I have a gty balcony. Currently assigned 13190. It says obstructed but I wonder what they deem an obstruction for this stateroom. I don't mind obstructed balconies nor do I mind being under a busy deck.

Don't recall anything on 13 being designated as such but the overhang and the struts to support the overhang can be an obstruction if trying to look up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddybear231 Posted November 14, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The barcode trick has worked for us the past 3 times. I can confirm after our upcoming 12/1 cruise on the Allure if it still holds true, but I believe it will be. From what I understand, it is extremely rare for it to change unless you placed a Royal Up bid of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a video 13194. It appears to be a bar that supports the overhang. No much of an obstruction.

cruisin from florida Posted November 14, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Thanks everyone! When booking a guarantee, we accepted that we'd be happy with what we got. Midship on relatively high deck is a bonus! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
