If you book a guaranteed cabin on Royal Caribbean, you’re getting one of the lowest-priced room options — but that also means you don’t pick the room number or location. Your stateroom is usually assigned about 30 days before sailing, and it will be in the category you booked or better. Working with a travel agent doesn’t make the assignment faster, but it does give you an advocate. If you don’t like your room location once it’s assigned, I can check availability and help move you within the same category (or help you upgrade if you choose). Changes depend on availability, season, and how full the ship is — flexibility is key.
