Creator's Key Takeaways

It's a complete money grab and it's a steal from them that they're not they don't Yeah. They don't care. They don't really care at all.

So, I think this headline is really just trying to grab people and pull them in by saying they're charging you $30 to get your cabin.

Chill out, relax, read a little deeper into headlines before you freak.

Would you pay the 30 bucks?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Read deeper into headlines before believing them.
If you book a guaranteed cabin, consider paying extra for a specific cabin instead of the $30 fee.
If you're not booking a guaranteed cabin, ignore this fee as it doesn't apply.

YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean just launched a brand new program called Early Assign and it is exactly what it sounds like. You book a guarantee cabin to save money, and now they want $30 more just to tell you your cabin number sooner. Not a better cabin. Not an upgrade. Just the number. And if you cancel your trip, that $30 is gone forever. This is a pilot program right now on select ships but if people keep paying for it, you can bet every cruise line on the planet is going to copy it. So I want to know — is this genius or is this a money grab? Drop your answer in the comments and let’s talk about it.
