3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 14
4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover?" Not really happy, although I do 100% understand you can get anything. We are by the kids pool and I was hoping closer to the Cove. Since there are three of us, I was also hoping for a family room. But my mom and my sister will be so happy they are going on a Disney cruise, they won't care, and this cruise is about them, not me.

7084 is a 6A - Deluxe Veranda

Something's off - 7084 is a veranda...a 6A. So either her number is off or something is VERY weird. All Interiors are odd numbers.

You're right... I should have looked at the map. I just was being sure because that would be a very big downgrade!

Yeah. I pulled it up too because I thought all the insides were odd-numbered.

Do you typically get an email or alert of some kind that your room got assigned? Or do I stick with my current strategy of just checking multiple times a day?

No notification. I belong to a cruise group. Usually a person will post when they get assigned and everyone checks. I usually start checking more often when I get within 14 days of sailing.

Does the 14 day covid cancellation policy apply to VGT? We are considering a VGT but what happens if we test positive within 14 days or at the port?
Thanks

You can move the cruise or get a refund. I had my DREAMS agent confirm this before we booked a GTY for in May.

How did you book a connecting room? I thought if I wanted connected I had to choose my rooms and my agent didn’t suggest this. We had two in our party book GTY and the other four I picked.

It would have been a request only. The only way to come as close as possible to connecting rooms is to book exact room numbers. When you book a category GTY or a *GT you are agreeing that DCL can put you in any stateroom at or above that category.

there is no guarantee that your two rooms will be connecting. It’s a gamble. I’ve done the gty rooms with 2 rooms. Once I got connecting and the other time I did not (we had one room between us). I’m anxiously waiting for my assignment now. Again I booked 2 cabins. Hopefully I’ll be back here to post my results soon. I’m 27 days away from my sail date.

We didn’t book connecting cabins. We chose IGT. You can’t select your stateroom when you book GTY, IGT, OGT or VGT. Our agent linked our reservations. This linkage is visible to the shoreside team when they are assigning your cabin. It’s my understanding they try to put them as close together as possible and many times they are connected. The linked staterooms are assigned before the others. They also take into consideration back to back and try to get the same cabin for both sailings.

As you’ve selected some of your cabins this will be very difficult. If the cabin next to the ones you selected is booked they won’t move someone. As long as your reservations are linked your friends may be on the same floor if there’s availability but not connected.
