A "guarantee balcony" means that they promise to put you in one of the balcony cabins. The cabins that are available on the site is not necessarily indicative of what you will get, as things get moved around all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TicTac#2 Posted July 14, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I have sailed the Pride several times, she is one of my favorite ships. I've heard it said that you need to be happy with the worst balcony on the ship. But it is a pot luck thing, I have had balcony guarantee rooms that have been just fine. You save a little with the guarantee. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted July 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2009 A balcony guarantee is a guarantee that you get a balcony anywhere on the ship. Who said it will be on deck 4-5? Sounds like this cruise is soon-- dont take too long to book as they can sell out very quickly. the balconies on deck 4 are cat 8's deck 5 are cat 8 ands 7As 7As are obstructed with lifeboats to the railing- you can see out fine. Just cant look down in the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPurcell58 Posted July 16, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2009 took a balcony guarantee for the 1st time ever, first time on Carnival too. We were given an obstructed cabin, 5183, I've read it's not too bad, you can see out, that will be fine, will let you know after we return in August.

Rare finoky Posted August 9, 2009 #10 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Extended balcony cabins are deeper which means they extend out more. I think they are 20sqft larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
