It's a floating view Staroption reservation so might as well request the best location - nothing to lose.
Certainly nothing to lose, but also having reasonable expectations as not to start off vacation on a negative footing. Have you seen the ‘privileged’ folks harassing Front Desk trying to get better locations?
I have.
Plus, the location requests have already stated by WKORV/N. They already have an algorithm for locations based on timestamp (e.g. highest floor, closest to ocean...). This is very clear based on my dozen stays at WKORV. And then you have certain people who think their ‘status’ somehow think that ‘timestamp’ doesn’t apply to them.
Plus, what if everyone called to make their request - which is already high floor, best ocean view. This has already led to WKORV/N limiting what can be requested.
Also, how to make that request? On line? Calling VSN? Calling the Front Desk?
If someone wants a 1st floor over higher floor (or locations that may not be considered the best) - then that is a request worth making. Otherwise, let it alone. Make a timely request - that is the best way to get the ‘best locations’.
Again, Timestamp is the best method to get location priority. I have seen this over and over - and goes to my direct experience. Go ahead and make a request, but if not at exactly 12 months or 8 months - set your expectations accordingly.
IMO YMMV
