Creator's Key Takeaways

what a guaranteed stateroom is is the cruise line is making a bargain with you they're saying if we'll give you a lower price if we get to pick the state room that you are going to be put in

the risk once again for a guaranteed stateroom is the worst possibility that you can have in that category which in most cases is not a bad one whatsoever

if you're willing to take any of those things that you deem as risks it's 100% absolutely to worth it if the price Gap is enough

there's a chance that you could be moved up into a junior or minet category or even all the way up into a sweet category if that's all that opens up at the time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the deck plans to identify the worst cabin in your booked category for a guarantee stateroom.
Consider a guarantee stateroom if the price gap is significant, but be aware you may not get your assignment until close to departure.
If only one or two cabins are left in a poor location, a guarantee might be better as you could get a better cabin later.

Not knowing which specific cabin you will get until close to departureUnderstand that assignment can happen as late as a day before the cruise departs, but the worst-case scenario is usually acceptable.
