Creator's Key Takeaways

most ships have a relatively small number of stateroom types these include inside staterooms which don't have a window ocean view state rooms veranda state rooms and suites

the best part of these rooms is usually the price the downside for me at least is that it's very hard to wake up in the morning when you're in a pitch black room

guarantees are usually priced quite a bit lower than a regular stateroom that you choose yourself and they're a way for cruise lines to ensure that they can flexibly fill up a ship at competitive prices

if you're new to cruising it's probably the type of stateroom that you should focus on no matter what you do be sure you're not putting too much weight into selecting the right room for you

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Focus on the type of stateroom rather than getting overwhelmed by categories if you're new to cruising.
βœ“Consider booking a guarantee to save money if you don't have a strong room location preference.
βœ“Use a travel professional to help find the right accommodations and catch promotions.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Choosing the right room type when there are many categories. β€” Focus on the basic stateroom types (inside, ocean view, veranda, suite) rather than getting bogged down by categories.
Understanding guarantees and what they mean for room assignment. β€” Know that guarantees mean you surrender your room choice to the cruise line and may get an obstructed view or distant location.
