GTY

[Sinderelly]

We are ready to book! Some categories only have GTY available. We need 2 cabins will DCL keep us together with a GTY status? we don't care about location etc but keeping the 2 cabins together is important.

They may not be able to. That's kind of the point of GTY as I understand it.

If you must have the 2 cabins together, do NOT do GTY or (*GT). They will NOT guarantee that the cabins will be together. If you must have them together, you need to pick alternate categories which will allow that.

No guarantees, but it sometimes happens.

If being together is most important, you should book a category that allows you to select specific rooms. Otherwise you run the risk with GTY of getting different floors and/or forward/aft.

Enjoy your cruise!

Reading through the GTY/*GT postings, it seems many--maybe even most--got cabins nearby one another. With that in mind, we took the gamble on two IGT rooms for huge savings and found out we are just 3 doors apart. Thrilled considering we could've been on different decks on opposite ends of the ship. But we would've survived and felt it was worth the savings had it not worked out. Frankly, I wouldn't be on DCL if we hadn't gotten the IGT rate. I'd probably be in connecting verandas on Norwegian.

They will try - especially if they are linked - but there is simply no guarantee. And unlike other lines where GTY is really just a "suggestion" and people call up and whine about their assigned cabin to get it changed, with DCL it's pretty much "you get what you get".

Because there is no guarantee they will be close and the OP indicated that the cabins MUST be close, the OP should not consider any GTY or *GT but select a category that will allow her/his needs for cabins together to be met.
