What is a 'guarantee' cabin or stateroom?

Many cruise companies offer a discounted rate for cabins booked on a ‘Guarantee’ basis.

This means that the cruise line will allocate your cabin number either close to the date of the sailing or on the day itself. You will be guaranteed a minimum standard of cabin (indicated by the cabin grade), but you will not have any further say in your cabin allocation.

We are not able to accept any special requests regarding the position of the cabin, cabin facilities or bed configuration. If you are travelling with others, there is no guarantee that cabins will be located close together or will be of the same grade.
