Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're thinking about booking a guaranteed ocean view cabin on Celebrity Edge, should you let Celebrity choose your room or pay extra to pick your own?

I am truly surprised. I didn't expect this. I just wanted an ocean view. It was supposed to be this teeny little window.

The obstruction bothered me much less than I expected. One thing to keep in mind is that I receive both of these cabins as guaranteed assignments.

In the end, neither cabin was objectively better. They were simply better for different reasons. There's usually not one perfect choice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you enjoy spending time in your cabin, choose a forward-facing layout for the extra seating area.
βœ“If your priority is natural light and value, an obstructed panoramic cabin can be an excellent choice.
βœ“Guaranteed cabins can result in much better rooms than expected, such as upgrading from a small window to a floor-to-ceiling view.

Guaranteed cabins might result in a tiny window or porthole. β€” It is a gamble, but you can end up with high-value rooms like panoramic views that you didn't expect.
