Really must you be that sardonic, really?? You should relook into your attitude, it is not nice, try to find a place in your heart to be kind, you feel good about it when you try it.

Yep.

Hello, this is why I changed the title, my original post was confusing. That is good news that I won't be upgraded, I rather have an Oceanview room with no creaking than risking having a verandah with creaking. Its funny, I cannot sleep at all even with the slightest of any noise or even light. I always been this way.

Yes, changed the title because did not receive any help/answers.

Two weeks ago we booked April 27 on the Beyond but blue chip did not offer aqua class or concierge on this sailing so they created a comp Oceanview. There was only one cabin available Oceanview guarantee which we took just to get on the ship. We are watching daily to see if a cabin opens up to upgrade. My question, many people are talking about the Beyond and cabin creaking noises all night long. Should we keep the Oceanview guarantee as nobody complains about creaking noises in the Oceanview rooms or should we chance upgrading to a verandah and possibly get a creaking cabin? Also, do you feel that the cruise line could upgrade us to a verandah (with possibility of having a creaking cabin) or can we just let them know we only want the Oceanview stateroom? Any thoughts?

I written other posts regarding us booking through blue chip our April 27th Beyond sailing. My hubby has offers for aqua class and concierge but for certain sailing dates. We chose one that was not on the list so they created an oceanfront comp stateroom. Our problem is that there was only one Oceanview guarantee so we grabbed it. We are still looking daily for something to open but nothing so far to upgrade our cabin. (there is a suite but we do not want the suite). My question is many have reported the Beyond to have staterooms that made constant creaking noises during the night. We were on the Beyond last year with two aqua class cabins in different locations and had no problems, but I would hate to have a cabin with creaking noises that will keep me up all night, therefore, would you suggest I keep the Oceanview guarantee room and not change if any other cabins open up? (Oceanview rooms seem not to have this problem) For those who have booked guarantee through blue chip, were you assigned your exact cabin category or did they upgrade you? I would hate to be upgraded to a possibly creaking cabin but just want to have the heads up what could happen.

I am sorry to be a downer on vegan meat/foods, but people need to research what you really are consuming. Beyond meat brand products is by no means healthy. It is not better for your health and are highly processed and contain many additives and inflammatory oils. They are also higher in fat, saturated fat, sodium and calories. There are many chemicals in it also that are harmful to us such as dipotassium phosphate, potassium chloride, titanium dioxide, maltodextrin, propylene glycol, ferric orthophosphate, tertiary butylhydroquinone to name a few. Many of these products contain soy that is now proven to cause cancer. You also don't get the proper nutrition the body needs but if you eat vegetables and fruits you should be ok, but consider the negatives of these products. I am just stating the facts, just care about people and want people to stay healthy.

oh my! yikes.

My sister/brother in law are on that cruise now they have no issues but they are in a suite, and sailed 6 times on her the past six months. I am going on April 27th and are very nervous about this issue too.

We were on the beyond last year had two cabins in different locations had no noice but expected noise as many people say there is. Curious what side of the ship are you on and what is your cabin number? Perhaps the magic carpet may be the issue (cabins at the magic carpet)? That is terrible, could you ask to be moved?

Thank you everybody.

We are only two people, thank you for your prompt reply!

I have anytime timing but when I try to make my nightly reservations at any of the restaurants, only 9pm and 9:30 are available. Since I have anytime, does that mean I do not need to make reservations and just show up when we want to eat?

Hello, We booked the Beyond two weeks ago and the only reservations for all four dining rooms available are at 9pm and 9:30pm. Question, are we allowed to show up for dinner at the dining room with no reservations? I realize we may have to wait. Also, I assume dining around 7pm is more crowded than dining at 8pm, am I correct?

Hello, I didn't make this post in hopes I hear of an upgrade, I was curious as to how others who booked guarantee cabins what the time frame was in receiving their assigned cabin number and curious if they are happy with what they got. We had no choice in the matter, it was the only room (besides a 15k suite) available and we just happy to get on this sailing to be honest. We prefer 8 nights and the ABC islands and it certainly was last minute as I booked less than two weeks ago. The ship is sold out but I know they will get me a room. Just wondering how others who booked guarantee did, and it seems by the above answers most of them received their cabin assignment from two weeks of booking. To be honest, my husband was offered aqua class and concierge but we had to choose those particular sailings and the sailing we wanted was not offered, therefore, they created a complimentary Oceanview room for him on the sailing we wanted, but the only availability was one Oceanview guarantee which we grabbed. Maybe it is shown in his file of his current offers of having aqua class and concierge, who knows what will happen I find out lol. My sister in law was upgraded as well as my sister the past year. If I just walked away, I loose nothing because we only paid for the taxes and fees which are always refundable even if I cancel three days before the cruise, but we are going. My concern is the ship is no longer selling but they reassured me that I will get a room. This will be my 105th cruise (would of been more but I was not allowed on cruises during covid) and I never booked a guarantee cabin and not familiar with the process. Thanks!

Thank you for this. A concierge opened and I called bluechip (it was a blue chip deal, my other half had aqua class and concierge class but had to choose amongst certain sailings and the sailing we wanted was not on the list so they created an Oceanview comp which there was one guarantee open which is what we took). Today, a concierge cabin opened up and I called to ask the cost to upgrade and was told not to worry, to wait it out, that I can be issued a cabin up to two days before the sailing. Odd, how they didn't want me to give $$$ to move up which I think they already know what cabin I will be assigned.

Nice!!

It was the last cabin available, no choices other than a suite for 15k.

For those who booked a guarantee room on the E class ships, tell me, what did you book (Oceanview, verandah, aqua class, etc.), when were you assigned (how many days prior to the cruise) and what category did they assigned you and your cabin number and were you happy or not and or did you changed your cabin assignment a second time? Also, would you book it again if you had the opportunity? I like to hear people's experiences as they also help answer questions of others who are curious also, thank you.

Not for us. Our massages where we go at home are better and then their sales speech at the end is another turn off.

They will have to have cabins available to assign those such as myself in guarantee cabins. Nobody knows how they operate actually. I booked with blue chip and its possible blue chip holds their own rooms.

I would move if you can, the gym is right above you. Had a cabin over the gym years ago, never again.

I see its in the aft. The good thing it is not a joining cabin, but it is in the aft. The other issue is that you have cabins above, if you ask for a different cabin you can end up on deck 12 which means the pool/chairs and Oceanview cafe could be above you. Based on these three issues is how you decide whether you want a change or not. I would keep it.

What cabin number and ship are you on, I like to look and see what they gave you as I have a guarantee also (the last cabin available when I booked this past Valentine's Day) on the Beyond. I heard you are able to request for a room change, yes.
