Creator's Key Takeaways

You're basically locked in to that room type, that room type, you're locked into that, you're locked into the price, you're locked into the date. There are no changes.

The other big thing is going to be the 15-day dining window.

They are the professional virgin cruisers. They know they know what they're walking into.

If you don't care, a lock it in might be a great option. And if you care, a lock it in is a really awful option.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Understand that Lock It In means no changes to date, price, or room selection.

✓Be aware that room assignment is random and may be in noisy areas.

✓Consider if you are okay with a late dining window or eating in the galley.

✓Use the bidding process as a potential way to upgrade your room.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing your room assignment — Accept that you won't know your room number until closer to sailing; it's GTY (guarantee).

Noise affecting sleep — Be aware that rooms may be in noisy areas; consider if you are sensitive to noise.

Late dining times — Understand you may have late reservations or eat in the galley; plan accordingly.
