However, if you’re looking to save money and willing to gamble on location, by all means, take the guaranteed stateroom. If you’re a light sleeper, you could find yourself next to a noisy elevator. If you’re a young couple wanting a romantic cruise, your guaranteed stateroom could have bunk beds instead of a queen-sized bed. The cruise line allocates these to booked guests close to embarkation day or day you board. Guaranteed cabins are the rooms that no booked guest wanted. A guarantee stateroom is like playing the lottery sometimes you win, but often you lose. Unless you’re willing to accept whatever the cruise line gives you, don’t choose a guaranteed cabin. Sometimes, you need to pay a little more to avoid these particular cruise cabins. Working with a travel agent knowledgeable in cruise vacations can steer you to picking a better location. If it’s your first time on a cruise, always look at what’s above, below, and near the stateroom. But cabin location to other venues on the ship can turn a good stateroom into a bad one. On paper, all staterooms may seem alike, and in theory, they are. But take heed because there are some cruise ship cabins you may want to avoid.

The new balcony design for the Infinite Veranda cabins isn't the only cabin-related innovation on Edge. Avalon was an early innovator with standard cabins lined with walls of glass that open wide. The wall-of-glass-that-can-open concept for a balcony cabin is something that has been done for several years by a handful of river cruise lines, including Avalon Waterways and Scenic Cruises. The ship also offers several classes of bigger suites as well as windowless "inside" cabins. Of 1,467 cabins on Edge, 918 are Infinite Veranda cabins. The larger size of the bathrooms allowed for larger showers. The extra interior space that resulted from the new design of Edge's balcony cabins allowed Celebrity to incorporate king-sized beds in the rooms and bathrooms that are about 10 percent larger than on earlier Celebrity ships.
