Montanagirlalways Posted November 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Talked with someone who was on the Jewell. Had inside cabin on deck 4. Won Royal up $200 each. X2 and got a very small port hole deck 2 across from the medical center. They told her at least she had a window. She’s not happy going down 2 decks and by the medical center.

swoopy2110 Posted November 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2022 That's the risk you take. There is no guarantee of location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted November 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 19, 2022 A good tip whether it's Royal Up or booking a guarantee cabin: do your research, decide which cabin in that category is the least desirable (for you), and decide if you would be content with that cabin assignment. If so, and anything better is just an extra perk, go for it! If not, then ... yeah, buyer beware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted November 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2022 She shouldn't have bid on a category that has locations she might find undesirable. Lesson learned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted November 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Sounds like the perfect location as she seems to be subject to the proverbial “going to have a heart attack” or “conniption fit”. enjoy your cruises, don’t sweat the small stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Liljo22 Posted November 20, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Same reason why I don’t book a guaranteed room. I want to know where my cabin is at. If I am going to bid, it’s only going to be suites since it’s limited and you pretty much know where they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should create another category of 'porthole', which IOO is quite a different experience from a real oceanview cabin. People's Royalup bidding would be quite different for a porthole methinks. Deck 2 can be fun though; up close and personal with the sea and all. Really, it's a different experience. Not bad...just different. IOO of course. Of course, would prefer it from a cove balcony though. But portholes sort of suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
