DaniDanielle Posted May 4, 2021 #26 Share Posted May 4, 2021 We didn’t mind the few obstructed cabins we had on Anthem. However. We only booked them if there was a significant difference in price. First one on Quantum was almost $1000 cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing my luck, I would end up with the worst one on the ship! every time we did the "guarantee" cabin, we got the worst cabins ever. Super noisy, right next to the service corridors with traffic 24/7, or under the buffet/pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why we never do them 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted May 4, 2021 #29 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Sometimes it works out. I once booked an inside guarantee and received a balcony on Anthem. On Navigator, an inside guarantee netted me an inside handicap accessible room. Lots of space! Edited May 4, 2021 by soremekun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me on a Quantum TA. On Anthem, I booked an inside guarantee and got an oceanview. A long time ago, I booked an inside guarantee on a B2B Celebrity Horizon repositioning cruise. I was assigned the same oceanview cabin for both segments. On a Star Princess TA, I booked an obstructed oceanview and was assigned a balcony (9 category upgrade). On my (canceled) May 2020 Adventure cruise, I booked a balcony guarantee and was assigned a spacious balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us too, we once ended up with the tiniest balcony too, and under the Royal Australian T&Cs we weren’t allowed to change cabin/go back into the pool.

Please explain... if you received the worst cabin on the ship time and time again, why did you continue booking them? Glutton for punishment or a bit of exaggeration?

Glutton for punishment or a bit of exaggeration? we were inexperienced cruisers at the time and didn't know better. Used a large, impersonal cruise travel agency and followed their advice "to save money". When I finally wised up and realized that I could do better - I did. :) Now I book our travel and choose our cabins myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
