Creator's Key Takeaways

I did a survey recently which thousands and thousands of Cruisers responded to and a staggering four out of 10 Cruisers said they had a cruise ruined or made less enjoyable because of cabin issues

the biggest trap and the reason that most people end up having a less than optimal cabin experience is because of booking guaranteed fairs

I always opt out of aut to upgrade and stick with my carefully chosen cabin unless I'm 100% sure that all the cabins above me are worth it

don't be shy to ask and of course asking a firm but polite way and if the cruise lines can help you I generally think they will

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the price difference between guaranteed fares and choosing your own cabin
βœ“Opt out of auto upgrades unless you are certain the upgraded cabins are in good locations
βœ“Before upgrade bidding, check what it would cost to simply upgrade to that cabin in the first place
βœ“Do fair tracking after booking to see if the fare goes down and ask for a better cabin
βœ“Raise issues with your cabin politely to the cruise line, as they may move you to a better cabin
