Can't think of a bad balcony location on Rhapsody.

If this is for your 10 year Anniversary, that's to important to risk getting a connecting cabin.

 

In my opinion

Couldn't we just keep the door close?

Noise travels more in connecting cabins.

 

Both ways, if you get my drift😉

Valid point. There is a reason why in a family cruise I won't boo kriggt next to family 😉

We’ve never been disappointed when booking a guarantee stateroom.

Perhaps we’ve been lucky but one was directly under the Windjammer Cafe and we never heard any early morning noise that I believe other cruisers may have encountered.

Same here.

 

14 guarantees to date (Nordic Empress, Celebrity Horizon B2B, Norwegian Crown, Celebrity Galaxy, Star Princess, Celebrity Infinity, Norwegian Majesty, Quantum, Anthem x 3, Adventure, Grandeur), 1 more next month (Grandeur), and 1 more in November (Allure TA).

 

Plus, we've had some nice upgrades with those guarantees.

I've booked guarantees for balconies.  We have done this for 2 cruises - Navigator and Explorer.  The price difference between guarantee and picking our own cabin was significant so for me it was worth the risk.   I was pleasantly surprised with both - we were given mid ship ones near the lifts.  Neither were adjoining.  It was a win for us but I wouldn't take the risk for a small price difference and unlike previous posters I'm cheap and would even book guarantee on Quantum if the price was low enough 😎 The only balcony guarantee I wouldn't book is one that doesn't guarantee an ocean view ie on Oasis.
