ramby Posted August 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Wondering if the RCCL really does stick you in the worst possible room if you book a "guarantee" cabin or if they are a bit more accommodating to requests if they have the availability?

cruisegirl1 Posted August 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I booked an OV Guarantee and got the very first cabin on Deck 2,, perhpas the worst possible room. I was either D or D+ at that time. Never tried a guarantee since them. Some have noted very nice upgrades from guarantees. Good luck M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenevenpar Posted August 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Not necessarily the worst, but you should be prepared that it could be the worst in the category. The reason they are usually less expensive is it gives RCCL the flexibility to put you where they need to based on what is selling. Good Luck!

Jem 12 Posted August 20, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi I have just booked a guarantee balcony for 10th Oct in Indy, we have been allocated D2, which is nice but it is much further forward than we would have picked!! especailly for the Bay of Biscay. But no complaints. Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffinater Posted August 20, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2009 We have been very lucky with guarantees (5) and have been very happy with what we were given. It has never been the "worst" cabin. I guess it is just luck of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura. Posted August 20, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have done a balcony guarantee, OV guarantee and inside guarantee and never received the worst room, nor even a room in the worst category. I am a big fan of the guarantee because the price usually allows us to cruise and we aren't really that picky when it comes to cabins. But we have always been pleasantly surprised with the assignment we received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batch5 Posted August 20, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2009 We booked a guaranteed window Y category this year and we received an F category, This was the first time we did it and the chance paid off. Good luck Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grannycb Posted August 20, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2009 We frequently have booked guaranteed cabins with good results. However, when you get a lemon you really suffer. Once we were under the Promenade and heard runners thumping along every morning starting around 5:30. (They didn't read the no jogging signs posted.) We had a horrible cabin (on another line) that was over the theater. Our cabin vibrated with sound from 5:30 until 11:30 pm. It made for a miserable experience. No more guaranteed cabins for us!
