Pre Covid my wife and I had sailed on the Fantasy several times using Guaranteed rates.
Since we have no children and it's just the two of us we are more flexible when we can cruise so we will look for the best deal when we are able to cruise. So far we have never been disappointed.
On a cruise back in 2018 we booked a Guaranteed ocean view and knew they could place in anything from a cabin with a small window all the way up to a Veranda, it's the chance you take.
This was the cabin we were assigned.

It was a special needs cabin they did not need to assign to anyone for this cruise. I am sure if they needed it at any time they would have re assigned us to a different cabin. These are the chances you take with these rates.
We liked the ability to be able to spread out so on a 2019 cruise we waited till opening day to specifically book the non special needs version of this cabin.
At the time being Platinum gave us the advantage of being able to secure this cabin category because they are limited so of course we paid a lot more for this cruise.
This was the cabin. It being non special needs it was broken up by a wall in the middle giving you the feeling of it being more like a suite. Once again because we asked for this specific cabin this cruise was a lot more expensive.
