loulu Posted October 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I can get a good deal on a balcony cabin if I am willing to take a "guaranteed" cabin, meaning the ship will assign my cabin. There is always the chance that I will end up with an obstructed view. Is the gamble worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted October 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Only worth it if you would be happy with the worst cabin location possible, GTY's are usually what ever cabins sell out last. On a side note, if you live in the US or Canada you should be allowed to change cabins with no charge as long as you stay in the same cat. If the savings are less than a 100.00 it's not worth it..happy cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted October 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Only you can decide if the gamble is worth it. How disappointed will you be with an obstructed view? How much is the discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted October 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Not something I would do, but if you are comfortable with it, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps I misunderstand the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted October 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2016 As others have said, only you can decide if it's work the risk... I don't book GTY because I want to make sure I'm on a deck with cabins above and below. You know what your priorities are, so if you'd be happy in the "worst" cabin of the category, then go for it. If you wouldn't be, determine if the risk is too much for you. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yacker Posted October 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sailing on Celebrity Summit from Puerto Rico Either a guaranteed cabin or aqua class balcony for about $200 more. Do I risk an obstructed view in a balcony cabin (not Aqua CLass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
