Creator's Key Takeaways

I was reading a rant on Reddit in which a person was complaining because a ro criting cruise ship on Brilliance of the Seas was oversold

an oversold cruise ship is not unheard of in the cruise industry Travelers may be used to hearing about oversold flights or hotels but Cruise Lines do sometimes overbook their ships

the reality is overselling over booking a cruise is actually really common but not a problem and I wanted to explain why it's not as bad as it sounds

I cannot recall a particular situation in which somebody was booted off a cruise ship because the ship was oversold
