BosoxI Posted January 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2015 When I go to the Princess site to pick a stateroom, it gives me two choices. One is to choose my own cabin, the other is to let Princess choose for me. If I opt for that second choice, am I actually purchasing a guarantee cabin in which case I may get lucky. I can't imagine letting Princess assign a cabin unless there is at least the chance of an upgrade, but the term "guarantee" isn't used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also believe if you pick you cabin you are still eligible for a upgrade or upsell. I picked my cabin on my upcoming cruise, and received a nice upsell from Obstructed OV to a Caribe Balcony for $79 ea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click 'Pick for me', Princess will select a cabin for you. On the top of the next page, if it is not a guarantee, it will show the cabin number. Note that it may not pick the cheapest cabin in the category, which you could do if you picked. Pia pointed this out a few months ago. Who ever coded this at princess must have been employee of the month. I have attached an example of the next screen after clicking 'Pick for Me'. This happened to be for Emerald Princess, 01-March, if anyone would like to check my work. Edited January 31, 2015 by pablo222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just did a dummy search for March 29th on the Regal and it did in fact pick this: Stateroom Number: E703 Type: Balcony Category: BE Location: Aft Deck: 8 (Emerald) Bath Type: Shower Connecting Room: N/A Total Size: 222 sq. ft. And if I had selected my own, price was exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
