NCL Jewel - BE Cabin GTY

[thelonious85]

Howdy! I'm a new member and my new wife and I are new to cruising! (That's a lot of NEW, eh?):)

We are looking into taking our first cruise on the Aug 5th sailing of the 7-day Barcelona roundtrip but haven't booked it yet.

I've read through MANY posts on here and they've been very helpful!

We see that we can book a BE (balcony) cabin but only as a guarantee. It is only about $100 more than an inside guaranteed room. We are slightly concerned about being near elevators/nightclub, etc. but don't want to shell out the extra $$$ for a specific cabin. It seems like if we want to book a particular room, we'd end up paying more even for inside lower level rooms.

 

Does anyone know why the GTY rates between inside, oceanview, balcony, and even mini-suite are so similar on this cruise?

 

Is there any way to see what rooms are available other the the 6 that typically show up per category if it's not a GTY?

 

Any advice would be great! Thanks!
