Creator's Key Takeaways

You book a last minute cruise at a discounted fair, travel, fly, drive, whatever to get all the way to the cruiseport, even board the cruise ship, only to be told you don't have a room and you can't sail.

Yes, it's rare, but it can happen. And it actually happened this week to a woman who was trying to sail on the Carnival Venia.

When you're booking a cruise, if you don't want to run this risk, sure not to book a TBA stateateroom.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid booking a TBA stateateroom if you don't want to risk overbooking issues.
