Creator's Key Takeaways

Your cabin should be surrounded by other cabins on all sides, above, below, to the sides, and some would even insist on the opposite side of the corridor as well, meaning directly across from your cabin.

To select the spot where the wave motion is minimal, you should be in the center of the ship and as low as possible.

I think differently and usually prefer to take a room that is actually close to the elevators.

If you are not traveling with multiple rooms, avoid rooms with a connecting door.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Choose a room surrounded by other cabins to ensure a quiet environment.
✓Avoid rooms with connecting doors if you are not traveling with multiple rooms.
✓Stay away from activity areas and corridors with heavy foot traffic.
✓Choose a room close to the elevators to minimize walking.
✓Select a cabin in the center of the ship and as low as possible to minimize motion.
✓Avoid cabins adjacent to crew zones or unmarked areas on the deck map.
