DougK Posted March 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I've been looking around at possible cruises this summer for a set of two adults and two kids, and trying to decide between doing either two cabins or a single FV. Not surprisingly, many possible dates show FV's as sold out. But I just ran across one where it's possible to book the FV for the 4 of us -- but only as a guarantee, not a specific cabin. I understand how guarantees normally work, allowing Celebrity to assign any cabin of that category or better. But I'm not quite sure how that applies to an FV, which is an unusual cabin to begin with (and where there's only a few of them on the ship). Could I end up "upgraded" to a Sky Suite, which is smaller than the FV, and less suitable for a party of 4? Or does Celebrity just assume that an FV cabin will become available, even if they're not sure which one as of now? Has anybody run into this situation before? Thanks much.

stuartma Posted March 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2007 You might end up in a SkySuite, but I doubt it. You will likely be in an FV, but whether it's a corner or not is an open question. In either case, it would be a score by all accounts. Check elesewhere on the site (search button, upper left) for more. And I will share more when we are back from our 2 weeks on Summit in an FV in two weeks. - Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted March 28, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2007 It all depends on which ship you are sailing with. You could be bumped up to a Concierge Class as well which is a smaller cabin. If it's either the Galaxy, Mercury, or Century, you will likely end up with a FV cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew B Posted March 29, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I would hope that they couldn't downgrade you to CC which is CHEAPER than an FV. On Galaxy, Mercury, and [i believe] Century, there are no FV's. They have FOV's which are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted March 29, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2007 In their mind, a CC is actually and upgrade. The price might be cheaper, but due to amenities it's an upgrade as far as X is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted March 29, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I did not think you could book Cat CC as a quad anyway--at least on M Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatam Posted March 30, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2007 If you can, book the FV guarantee on an M class ship. Make sure you put in the reservation NO UPGRADES. When it comes time to assign cabins, if X needs to move people, you should retain your FV. Make sure your TA is ADAMANT about NO upgrades. You will generally make someone else very happy if upgrades are made. Very good cabins for family with kids or a couple with an inlaw. The sliding divider gives everyone some privacy. And with two TV's, there is no fighting over movie vs news or the daily lecture. The bathrooms are rather small. That is the only drawback I can see. The closet and cabinet space is excellent. Enjoy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
