Euby Posted September 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Normally, I book a particular cabin. However, for my cruise at the end of the year (using a casino offer), the only option was an Oceanview Guarantee. According to my booking it shows F as the Stateroom. This is on the Nieuw Statendam. When I looked at deck plans, F Cabins are only on Deck 1 and there 5 of them. If I were to purchase Club Orange and try to upgrade room Category, what letters (categories) would be considered an upgrade? Is it higher in the alphabet (G, H - which I don't really see - or is it cabins that have FA and FB or the C, D, or E categories). Categories within categories can be so confusing. It seems that almost all of the Oceanview Cabins are on Deck 1, which I'm not really fond of (from previous experience). I'm guessing that they don't often bump Oceanview Guarantee up to Verandah cabins. I've got a few hours before I can call them, so was just trying to get some idea of what to expect.

DaveOKC Posted September 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2022 F is an Oceanview, so you would be eligible to upgrade to another oceanview - categories CQ, C, D, DD, or E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave! I was able to get the Club Orange and upgraded from my previous F cabin to a CQ cabin for $275 ($25pp/day). I think that is well worth it for the upgrade alone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F category is a family suite and you get an extra shower and sink with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F category is not a Family Oceanview (Suite). Those are FA & FB. I was able to get a larger Oceanview (CQ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted September 23, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I’ve been in those cq cabins and they are lovely and large. I have not actually stayed in one. I think you’ll really enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I called to buy CO and asked about the upgrade, the Rep seemed surprised that any CQ were available and said, "those cabins are huge."

shiner6 Posted November 2, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2022 How would a forward cabin be on a Transatlantic trip? I am prone to seasickness. I do take my meds and it helps a lot. I have always done AFT or MIDSHIP before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
