Creator's Key Takeaways

A lot depends on your wants and needs in a cruise stateroom and what your priorities are.

The biggest Pro for booking a guarantee stateroom is the cost you are usually going to save.

A big con is you don't get to choose your state room.

I absolutely love guarantees they're fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Look at deck plans and consider the worst stateroom in the category you're booking.
βœ“Book through a travel agent to potentially move within your assigned category.
βœ“Ensure you're happy with the minimum category you're booking, as upgrades are rare.

Let me help plan your next Royal Caribbean Cruise vacation! https://app.tern.travel/public/forms/Hi-9JYIG4j69mhmSuc1sKQ/responses/FhFApiHJ1EhRSmK4-0nxOg/edit A common question I often hear is whether or to book a guarantee (GTY) stateroom? And there really is no right or wrong answer. A lot depends on your wants and needs in a cruise stateroom and what your priorities are. For many people, they would NEVER book a guarantee. For others, location of their stateroom does not matter and always book a guarantee if available. And for families like our own, it really depends on various factors. Is the cost savings minimal or significant? Is it a small or large ship? Etc. So today I share with you some pros and cons of booking a guarantee stateroom on Royal Caribbean. Some of these tips could apply to other cruiselines, but I made this video thinking specifically of Royal Caribbean.
