What is a cabin "Guarantee"?

Great question! When booking a cabin for a cruise, sometimes you have a choice of a cabin assignment or a cabin guarantee. Cabin Assignment is just as it sounds - your cabin is assigned the day you book the cruise. A cabin guarantee means that you paid the lowest possible price for a particular cabin category with the chance of being upgraded to a more expensive cabin.
That leads us to the next logical question - "Which one should I choose?" There are pros and cons to both:
Cabin assignment - you can choose, based on availability, your cabin. To be assured your cabin is mid ship or as far away as possible from the elevators, cabin assignment is the way to go.
Cabin Guarantee - you save money by being flexible with the location of your cabin. Sure you may book an inside cabin really cheap, and actually get the bottom line cabin or you may book the cheapest cabin possible and get bumped up to a higher deck or larger cabin. Then consider how much you saved.
