Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been making travel videos for 15 years now of popular and not so popular tourist destinations

I almost never book an Ocean View cabin

I will always always always prefer to be in a balcony cabin

I would rather just not go on the cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider an inside cabin if you are on a small budget or need complete darkness to sleep

✓If a ship offers inside cabins with a virtual balcony and it's in your budget, recommend it as a cool upgrade

✓Avoid ocean view cabins because the window factor isn't worth the price difference for me

✓A balcony cabin is always worth spending more money on if it's in your budget

✓Stay away from cruises offering kids sail free promotions

A decision that everyone booking a cruise must make: inside, ocean view, or balcony? This video will help you get a good idea of the differences between the two, and why I usually never book an "ocean view" cabin on my cruise vacations. #cruise #cruiseline #cabintour Celebrity Apex Infinite Veranda Tour: https://youtu.be/Zjvc7QEp8Lw Carnival Sunrise Balcony Tour: https://youtu.be/8gxpGKddkZc Norwegian EPIC Balcony Cabin tour: https://youtu.be/tzIeViOWTqI MSC Magnifica Balcony Cabin Tour: https://youtu.be/v8r454nvQDc Get my NEW BOOK!
