Verandah... Verandah... Verandah!!!! click-click-clicK!!! LOL!!!!
I too will be very happy with my SPR!!! They say to book the category that you will be happy with - and that we did. I always told DH that I could just never cruise in a cabin that didn't have at least have a porthole... So, on our budget, the SPR along with the early booking savings... that is what allowed us to book this cruise!
It looks like that what happened to Momof22 may have been a problem with her TA working with DCL... Not common practice by DCL... I have indeed heard of a very few people who have ended up in different staterooms than they had thought. But with the SPR's I am not sure I have ever heard of that.
We booked thru DU and I am counting on if there is any change or upgrade that my TA will email me right away!
