Itfcgreat Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 We are about to book an ocean view room. Our options are deck 3 mid ship or a guaranteed room on deck 2 or 3 for around 150 dollars less. What’s the best room and deal to go with?

Linda R Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Personally I always like to choose my room in advance Montemy2419 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the deck plans and look for what you think the worst cabin would be. For me, it’s anything with white space (no cabin) above or below or next to-even across from my cabin. The white space indicates free work/maintenance areas and can be a source of noise. If you are satisfied with all the cabin locations on those decks go for it!

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 I’m with @Linda R…always choose my room. I’m too afraid I’ll end up in a forward room which is definitely not where I want to be. So basically I NEED to pick my own room! WAAAYTOOO, Montemy2419 and Neesa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedricmr Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 For us, always in a guaranteed cabin. We never choose. We leave it to chance... by saving money. PPPJJ-GCVAB and KristiZ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 While we choose our room, we've had situations when we had noise, so looking at deck plans is important. We survived the noise.

Traveling Mike Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 As you can see it is a 50% 50% call. It depends on your likes and dislikes. The GTY will be a room with an ocean view. It might be on the middle of deck 3 or it might be in the bottom back of the ship next to the closet. I have cruised enough I do not really care where my room is so I purchase a lot of GTY cabins. The reason you would pick the GTY is because of the money saving. Is $150 a lot to you? I look at the $150 as two or three shore excursions or 10 drinks on the ship. I would rather have the GTY and have money to pay for something else. Many people do not want to be on the very front of the ship or the very bottom of the ship. For them the $150 is not worth giving up the location of the room. Now you have to look at your priorities.

Vancity Cruiser Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 It's whatever your budget will allow. If spending an extra $150 to pick your room will mean you have to give up an excursion or other experience I would choose the cheaper cabin and spend the extra $ on experience.
