retird Posted December 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2023 On an upcoming cruise on Noordam, we have booked a Neptune Category SC Guarantee. I only see four SC cabins which are 7083/84/85/86 (other than the two accessible on deck 6). Are those four cabins same as the SBs in the same area? And are those the cabins likely to be assigned to me? Ive never done a guarantee before, but the SC was only a small fraction of the cost of an SB or SA when I booked through a special offer i received. Thanks.

CruiserBruce Posted December 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Are they likely to be assigned to you? Nobody is going to know...it depends on how many GTY bookings there are. They are the same as the SAs in the area. They used to be SAs, (last time we were on Noordam)but marketing folks figured they should sell them as SCs. We have one booked on Oosterdam in 2025.

Rare visagrunt Posted December 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Depends on the itinerary. Warm water cruises, SC's aft may sell because offer a price advantage over the SBs and really only sacrifice the 'wrap' segment of the balcony. Aft wraps almost always sell. If my upsell experience is anything to go by, the Neptunes that tend to be available in the last few weeks are often SAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really mean "a small fraction", like the SC was 1/10 the cost of an SA or SB? If so, good for you jumping on that deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman93 Posted December 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Yeah, at that price differential it's a no-brainer to pick the SC guarantee. You might end up in an SB or SA anyway, but it's not like the SC's are bad suites by any stretch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
