Creator's Key Takeaways

These bottom deck window rooms, um, probably the first six or 10 uh, are actually going to be for guests.

These are by far the most popular rooms uh that I personally book for my clients.

Literally over 90% of of my clients stay on the top deck because they're only about 8% more money, but they're 33% more bigger.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a top deck room for privacy, better views, and less noise.
โœ“Book early, at least a year in advance, to secure a top deck room.
โœ“If budget is a concern, consider a bottom deck room but be aware of potential downsides.
