Creator's Key Takeaways

After more than 50 cruises, I've learned the hard way on which cabins you'll want to avoid.

Cabins right below the pool deck. They sound convenient. They're close to the food and the action, but what you don't see on the booking page is the constant noise.

If budget is tight, book the lowest category you'd actually be happy with, but choose the location yourself.

The biggest tip I have for you when you're thinking about booking cabins is just look at the general ship plan.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid cabins right below the pool deck due to noise from lounge chairs, music, and foot traffic.

✓Book a cabin a few doors down from elevators or crew service doors to avoid noise.

✓Choose your cabin location yourself instead of opting for a guarantee cabin to avoid obstructed views or noisy spots.

✓Avoid obstructed view balconies; opt for a standard ocean view or inside cabin, or spend more for a clear balcony view.

✓Avoid cabins at the very front or back if prone to seasickness; choose mid-ship for stability.

✓Avoid connecting rooms if not using the extra space, as they don't block sound well.
