Guarantee grade rooms allow you to choose the grade of room you prefer, but you cannot select the room number or location. You are guaranteed to be allocated the grade booked or higher by the cruise line, but it can be anywhere on the ship. Cruise lines do not accept special requests with this type of room. We do not recommend booking Guarantee Grade rooms if you require accessible rooms, or if it is imperative that your rooms are close together
