Cruise Secrets Revealed - Should You Book a Guarantee Cabin? (GTY Cabin)

Creator's Key Takeaways
In this cruise, we can see that the price difference between a guaranteed cabin and a selected cabin for an inside room is $235 more per person.
I myself have previously upgraded from a guaranteed inside cabin to a junior suite with a balcony for just $200.
I've booked a guaranteed cabin more than once and I've never ended up with a room I regretted, which I can't say about all the rooms I actually chose myself.
So, practically, all the objections I listed at the beginning of the video aren't really valid.
