What are my chances of getting upgraded?

It does happen, but not as frequently as people would like to believe. Most upgrades go to passengers who book early and buy the lowest category on the ship in the form of a “Category Guarantee.” A “Category Guarantee” means that when you book your cruise, you are not assigned a cabin number; you are simply guaranteed that category or better. “Guarantees” are a great way to fill the ship with people looking for a good rate who don’t care where their cabin is located. The cruise lines always sell more guarantees in a category than there are cabins in that category. For example, the lowest rate on Celebrity Cruise Line’s Zenith is a category 12, inside cabin. There are approximately 6 category 12 cabins. However, on each sailing Celebrity will sell between 40 and 60 category 12 guarantees. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that 34 people are going to get a free upgrade. Usually these upgrades are given on a first-come-first-serve basis. Most upgrades are often from low insid
