Need help figuring out what I could get with Club Orange room upgrade

[Euby]

Normally, I book a particular cabin.  However, for my cruise at the end of the year (using a casino offer), the only option was an Oceanview Guarantee.  According to my booking it shows F as the Stateroom.  This is on the Nieuw Statendam.  When I looked at deck plans, F Cabins are only on Deck 1 and there 5 of them.  If I were to purchase Club Orange and try to upgrade room Category, what letters (categories) would be considered an upgrade?  Is it higher in the alphabet (G, H - which I don't really see - or is it cabins that have FA and FB or the C, D, or E categories).  Categories within categories can be so confusing.  It seems that almost all of the Oceanview Cabins are on Deck 1, which I'm not really fond of (from previous experience).  I'm guessing that they don't often bump Oceanview Guarantee up to Verandah cabins.  I've got a few hours before I can call them, so was just trying to get some idea of what to expect.

F is an Oceanview, so you would be eligible to upgrade to another oceanview - categories CQ, C, D, DD, or E.

Thanks Dave!  I was able to get the Club Orange and upgraded from my previous F cabin to a CQ cabin for $275 ($25pp/day).  I think that is well worth it for the upgrade alone.

F category is a family suite and you get an extra shower and sink with it.

F category is not a Family Oceanview (Suite).  Those are FA & FB.



I was able to get a larger Oceanview (CQ).

I’ve been in those cq cabins and they are lovely and large.  I have not actually stayed in one.  I think you’ll really enjoy it.

When I called to buy CO and asked about the upgrade, the Rep seemed surprised that any CQ were available and said, "those cabins are huge."  LOL

They are.  I think you’ll be surprised. They do seem to go pretty fast usually.

How would a forward cabin be on a Transatlantic trip?  I am prone to seasickness. I do take my meds and it helps a lot.  I have always done AFT or MIDSHIP before.
