What Biker19 said. If you will be unhappy with ANY cabin in the guarantee category, a guarantee is not a good choice.
You may be able to specify (and pay) for an ocean view balcony guarantee vs a neighborhood balcony guarantee when you book your cruise.

Not always, Royal has strange math. They sometimes use a lower price for the interior than what is showing online so the upgrade is more. As you suggested, calling is best. It might be a good idea to have a first and second choice ready when you call.
Good luck.
I read several reviews when Icon launched and wonder how many who said the meal was worth the nearly $500 ($400 plus gratuity) for 2 had it gifted rather than actually paid for it? I'm sure it is good and who wouldn't give a gifted $500 meal a good review.

Sometimes they only make them one day at a time. That was our recent experience on Allure, but we were able to secure a reservation for each night we wanted. We sometimes prefer a few dining rooms or specialty menus to CK.
Enjoy your cruise.

I stand corrected - the technology of Effectors 2 is terrific. Every time I watch it, I sit in a different area to enjoy the technology. Close up was the least enjoyable.

Don't forget that many Pinnacles have way more than 700 points. I have no idea what the average is, but on many cruises the top 3 cruisers all have in the high 2000 points. Except for Internet and a free Pinnacle cruise ( and one for every 350 points) there is little difference in upper tier D+ and Pinnacle. These two groups share the same amenity list have the same "cheers" meal, BOGO, wash and fold and more.
So by your math, the P drink benefit is worth even less. Frankly the drink benefit is wasted in me. Don't get me wrong, I like a drink or two, but 6 is overkill for me.

We've had a variety of cruises recently and there is no reasoning regarding the hairdryer type. We had a recent Enchantment ( old ship) B2B and moved a few cabins away ( same cabin class) and had the newer dryer in one and the "hold button" type in another.
