Creator's Key Takeaways

I've spent years looking at deck plans across all sorts of ships and across all sorts of cruise lines

Choosing the correct cabin location can make a difference between enjoying a cruise and at its most extreme hating it

A guarantee lets you book only the type of room and not a specific room

For the quietest cabin locations choose a deck that is sandwiched between other passenger accommodation decks

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider interior, ocean view, balcony, or suite cabin types based on cruise length and preferences
Choose midship cabins for a smoother ride to avoid pitching motion
Check for obstructed views on deck plans for better value
Opt out of automatic upgrades to keep your selected cabin position
Research deck plans and work with a knowledgeable travel agent
