Question about room guarantee

[ZDante]

We are departing on the MS Koningsdam on Jan 24th and just got our cabin assignment. We booked a F guarantee room and just received a C cabin on the main deck in the middle of the ship. Is this a comparable room or a downgrade from F? First time cruiser. Thanks!

Pretty sure HAL would count that as an upgrade.

 

F and C are I think both large oceanview category, midship would be regarded as higher grade than aft or fore.

HAL's categories get "better" as you go toward the beginning of the alphabet. So a C oceanview is considered better than an F oceanview. As GUT2407 said, the E and F oceanviews are fore and aft, not midships. The cabins are probably the same, it's the location that's better.

Probably true, but more importantly, does the paying guest also consider it an upgrade? Which is really what matters, right?

As a GUAR booker, I feel this is an excellent upgrade! One thing: if you had booked a C instead of an F, you would have paid quite a bit more, so in straight money paid terms it is an excellent upgrade! The highest priced outside for the price of the lowest. Congratulations and enjoy your cruise!

Congratulations on the upgrade.

Hope you have a wonderful cruise.
