MCOgirl Posted March 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2017 HI Folks, WE booked a 1A veranda guarantee and have been assigned a SV cabin..Is that considered an upgrade or a lateral move.:confused: I looked and our veranda looks tiny compared to the ones on either side of us!!! Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcrusn Posted March 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well, it depends lol! The SV is usually more expensive and very desireable for the view, but you lose the large 1a balcony and convenient location. So, if YOU don't consider it an upgrade, call and argue your point politely with X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply....I am on the fence because we have never stayed in SV.We usually book Aqua class or a 1A for the larger balcony.The ship looks full except for suites...I feel We are partially to blame for booking a guarantee....AKA......gamble- tee !

jelayne Posted March 30, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The SV is considered a upgrade from a 1a. We love being on the aft. We had a 1a for the first time last year and while the balcony is large it would have been more enjoyable/useable if there were more chairs or loungers on the balcony. Just 2 chairs and a small table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnycruises Posted March 30, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2017 We upgraded to an SV once (usually get a regular veranda) but it wasn't to our taste. I thought it was extremely noisy. View was gorgeous! But the sound of the engine every morning when we docked somewhere made the whole cabin shake. And if you're on a higher deck you'll hear noise from the sunset bar so if you're sensitive to noise proceed with caution.

Thank you for sharing your experience.WE are a little apprehensive with a SV cabin,having never experienced it.I have read mixed feelings on that cabin type.Folks either love it or do not!!!!! WE loved the larger balcony on our previous sailings in 1a cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazee4cruzin Posted March 30, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2017 SV cabins have a great view but it's a lot of walking to the elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamthesea Posted March 31, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Did you look for reviews on your particular stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCOgirl Posted April 3, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Did you look for reviews on your particular stateroom? Yes I have.... one person said it was lovely no complaints...but appeared to be reviewing the room and steward exclusively not the position. Another review said that they could not keep their sliding doors open because they would get the exhaust from the funnel in the cabin and had a lot of soot on their deck.Also commented they would never book a SV they were supposedly upgraded to SV....And they were questioning if it's truly an upgrade they felt it was a downgrade !!!

Knolmom Posted April 3, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Celebrity does consider it an upgrade, and it does cost more than a 1A. You cannot use a Captains Club upgrade to move up from a 1A to an SV. We just moved from an SV to an accessible AQ( which we need) and the AQ was only $100 more pp on our. 14 day Eclipse in Europe. Would have loved to have that SV but we really need the space in the accessible AQ with a scooter and a Rollator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
