Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been traveling the world full-time and been on over 50 cruises, so we know a thing or two about picking the right and the wrong cabin.

The best strategy I can give you, if you were worried about location, noise, we call it the cabin sandwich, you want a cabin above you, you want a cabin below you, you want a cabin to the right, one to the left, and no connector.

If you're prone to seasickness or motion problems, you may want to choose a state room based on the best location for you, which is generally lower and mid.

A guaranteed cabin is the lowest price for a category, but you do not get to choose your stateateroom.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use deck plans to check what is above, below, and beside your cabin to avoid noise.
Consider the cabin sandwich strategy for noise sensitivity: cabins above, below, left, and right with no connecting door.
For seasickness, choose a midship lower deck location.
Compare cabin types (inside, ocean view, balcony) and consider obstructed view for value.
Avoid guaranteed cabins if you have specific location needs or are traveling with multiple cabins.
