That’s correct, JS is the same price as the WS. Thanks for your feedback!

Hey folks, I am relatively new this, haven't done a cruise ship in about 14 years so I appreciate any feedback/comments. Long story short, I booked a trip on the Symphony of the Seas which departs in about 7 weeks. I have a really bad habit of checking prices 24-48 hours after booking so 8 hours later after I booked a guaranteed Junior Suite, I found that prices had dropped about $500 (for my guaranteed JS). Called Royal Caribbean and was told they would issue a refund after the 24 window expired. Not satisfied with that, I went ahead and cancelled my reservation. Back to the price reduction, so it looks like the guaranteed JS rate is about $500 cheaper, however I can also book an assigned JS for the same price. According to their website there are about 3-4 JS suites available (for assigned JS), the question is should I go for the guaranteed reservation or book the assigned one since both cost the same? My rationale is that there are no bad/undesirable locations for JS on the symphony so I should be happy with a JS regardless of location. (I could be wrong) On the other hand I could book an assigned JS, cross my fingers so I get a bid/upgrade opportunity and use the $500 I saved towards a bid. ( I really doubt I can score a bid/upgrade with $500). Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
