Nflder71 Posted July 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The concierge guarantee is a lower cost than the Prime Verandah. The cabins for the verandah are on the 9th deck close to the front. If we select the concierge guarantee, I’m a bit worried that we will get an obstructed view and be on a lower deck. At least with prime verandah we will know where our room is, even if it is right at the front! If I book the guarantee when do you find out what room you have? And if you don’t like the location can you switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gia2cats Posted July 24, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2023 It’s my understanding that you have to take the cabin you are assigned with a guarantee. You may luck out and get a great cabin, or maybe not. I always book the cabin I want and don’t look back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted July 24, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Prime Verandas are on deck 6 through 9. Concierge is on 9 through 12 so there is no way you would be any lower than deck 9. There are no Concierge cabins classed as an obstruction although you may prefer some locations over others. But that risk is of course why it is priced lower as a GTY. That sailing is teetering on sold out so whatever you do I would make a decision quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They upgraded me to GTY balcony and was assigned a spacious OV on deck 6 a few days ago. I actually called for another reason and mentioned cabin location and was upgraded to deck 8 so apparently can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually got an upgarde to Concierge a few cabins from center elevator banks. Good Luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they switched me to GTY balcony when I paid for inside but didn't ask???? I got cabin assignment a few days ago then they upgraded to higher deck. Spacious ocean view balcony so don't know if cabin is larger or deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do you find out about the room you are assigned if you book a guarantee? I've had cabin assignments within 24 hours of booking but its been several years since then. On my cruise next month I booked mid May and cabin was assigned last week for August 19th cruise same day as I got my luggage tags and edocs. It may also be assigned at the pier.

Experiences on a different line don’t really speak to what the OP can expect on Celebrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
