Guarantee Status vs. IGT/OGT/VGT

[Dug720]

In my cruise group, some people have gotten their VGT room assignments, some have not. I'm the group that hasn't, yet (1/10 Dream)

For the general VGT, this is not unusual (or general IGT or OGT).

For the specific category - which many upthread are (the ones that are saying VGT 7A for example - it is actually a 7A GTY which is not a VGT and not at a reduction in price) - guaranties they are often assigned earlier.

Aha! That works! I got my assignment this morning! Posting report after this.

not at a reduction in price

I have only ever booked FL discount and they are always a category GTY like 5A GTY or 7A GTY and I usually see my room assignment after IGT/OGT/VGT because it's a much steeper discount.

OK, that's a different thing though - a FL Resident discount more than a "GTY" for those of us who don't live in Florida. But since they use the same thing, perhaps in this thread it should be something like FL 7A GTY or something to specify and avoid more confusion than necessary.

Most category Guarantee (5A GTY, 7A GTY, etc.) are put up before the discounts and are NOT discounted.

1. What category GTY cabin did you book? VGT
2. What category and room # did you get? 4A Deck 10 Aft
3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 18
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover?" Very pleased! Anything that was a proper non-navigator's Verandah was going to be make me very happy considering the discounted rate, and getting a family sized room is the cherry on top. I have seen some say Deck 10 is unideal for noise and small overhang, but cannot complain at all for the price honestly.
5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? N/A
6 What ship are you sailing? Dream
7. What day of the week was your cabin assigned? Wednesday
8. What time of day was your cabin assigned? Early morning
9. What month is your cruise? January

Thanks to everyone who contributes in this thread, it was super helpful for my own planning, so I had to give back with my own report!

It's definitely not clear cut. I'm one of those recent VGT people who got their room assignment at 31/32 days, although my previous VGT room assignment came out at 13 days. I know it's VGT and not GTY because I booked with an interline discount.

Same boat.. just a few weeks behind you... Booked but wondering now about how things will go. Not as worried about catching it, as I'm vaccinated and in good health. But being positive before or after boarding could really be an issue for what is suppose to be vacation time. We purposely booked a three night with not ports of call other than CC.

I have never booked a cruise so last minute can someone help me with this?

Reservation #: Dining: SECOND Cruise Itinerary: 4-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from New Orleans Category: VGT Embark Date: 14-Feb-2022 Stateroom: GTY Debark Date: 18-Feb-2022 Description: Verandah Stateroom with Restrictions Ship: Disney Wonder

Does this mean that I will get my stateroom number sometime between now and embarkation?

Will I not get get a "navigator's verandah"? But possibly restricted "view"?

Also, any help with CZ50 and CZ38 Cozumel Dolphin excursions is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

[unrequited23]

You will get at least a 7A category room assigned to you at sometime in the the future. It could be as early as 30 day (or before) or as late as when you arrive at the port. If you go through this thread you can see when others have gotten their room assignments. (I got mine at 27 days.) A restricted view means you could have a whitewall verandah vs a plexiglass verandah. On the Magic and Wonder staterooms with a navigators verandah only sleep 3. If your party is larger than that you will not be assigned that stateroom.

I like to go to the travel section of Costco's website and look at which rooms are available while waiting for my VGT stateroom to be assigned, just to see which room could possibly be mine.

I don't know anything about the Wonder and this was a spur of the moment purchase when I was bored the other night. We are only about 5 hrs from New Orleans.

This will be my 2nd DCL cruise and my adult daughter is on this cruise with me.

Do you happen to know where I can see the opening day prices for this cruise so that I can see if I got a decent price for 2 people. $1699 plus taxes and insurance.

If any were reported, it would be noted on this thread:
https://www.disboards.com/threads/o...nter-2022-magic-wonder-dream-fantasy.3815882/

I think there is a website that tracks price changes as well but I can't find it right now -- hopefully someone else will chime in.

Thanks!

I guess i got a good deal since it says this:

Sail Date	Inside	Oceanview	Verandah	Concierge
Monday February 14, 2022	$ 1,787	$ 2,107	$ 2,347	$ 4,299

saved about $550 minimum, more if I get one of the higher categories with veranda

3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 15
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover?" Leftover. I know it's a gamble with a VGT, but I feel like we lost this time. This is a solid wall verandah that is really narrow.
5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? NA
6 What ship are you sailing? Magic
7. What day of the week was your cabin assigned? Wednesday
8. What time of day was your cabin assigned? not sure
9. What month is your cruise? January

The reason I got a verandah was so I could sit and watch the water without being in the crowds, and I can't do that from this room. I would rather have saved my money and booked an Oceanview. We are going to try to upgrade at the port I guess.
