If you are concerned about the location of a stateroom don’t bid on any category that has any in a location you may hate. Don’t bother looking at what is available to book now, it means nothing.
Say there are ocean view balconies in areas you would hate. Don’t bid on an ocean view balcony. Even if you look and see what’s not booked and are happy with what is available right now. Someone booked in a location you don’t like, could be upgraded to a suite. Then you could get put in that balcony that you don’t like. And there is no going back. You can’t turn it down because you don’t like it.
Only book on a category if you will be happy with it wherever you are.
