Creator's Key Takeaways

I have booked many, many guarantees and I have been assigned, well, I've been assigned very desirable cabins and I've been probably assigned, I guess, what they would consider less desirable cabins and I'm fine.

I still enjoyed the cruise.

And one of the cabins that would be considered undesirable, I actually paid for to choose specifically.

If booking that guarantee is the determining factor of whether or not you cruise, book the guarantee.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a guarantee cabin if it's the deciding factor for cruising.
Ask yourself if minor inconveniences will ruin your cruise before avoiding guarantee cabins.
Avoid being in your stateroom during afternoon rehearsals if noise is a concern.
