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.

And if booking that guarantee is the determination of whether or not you cruise or not, I'm just going to tell you, don't worry about it yet.

So, consider that. For me, that was not a big deal at all.

And so as a silhouette Odyssey Paradise, right? The one I paid for, the undesirable cabin that I paid for was on Roderdam.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a guarantee cabin if it determines whether you can cruise.
