Creator's Key Takeaways

I tested that ticking clock this weekend, and it might shock you to find out exactly what I found.

It turned out to be a worse deal than the one I got the next day.

It's a pressure tactic. It's sales tactic and it really should not affect your bidding on a cabin.

Every cruise line does it. Every cruise line has that ticking clock on their website all the time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Put a hold on a cabin for 48 hours and then let the clock run out and then price the cabin again and compare which price is better.
Don't panic about the ticking clock and let an agent look into it to ensure it's the right deal for you.
