We had a guaranteed verandah on our March cruise on the Rotterdam & our confirmation said VF cabin. We ended up on deck 6 (our favorite deck) & 2nd cabin from the end all the way up front (I think it was a VD category so a bit of an upgrade I suppose). It was fine, & the verandah was great, but on the day we tendered I couldn't believe how loud the anchor was & how long it took until the sound stopped (it practically made the room shake). This was very early in the morning too. I was so glad we only had one tender port! This was the first time we did not choose our cabin because it was such a great deal. I'd do a guarantee again for a good discount but only on an itinerary with very few if any tender ports.
