Guarantee: Pay attention here - a 'guarantee' is the cruise line's promise that the passenger will sail on a stated voyage in a specified price category or type of cabin, at an agreed rate no higher than would ordinarily apply for that voyage. Due to space and yield management requirements, a cruise line may 'upgrade' guarantee passengers to a higher level of service. Passengers who choose a guarantee arrangement, however, are unable to choose a particular cabin. Some of the various guarantee categories (they vary by cruise line) are noted alphabetically in this glossary.
