Creator's Key Takeaways

one thing I try not to think about as I'm settling into bed in my cabin is the sheer number of people who've slept in it before me

cruise lines are using C to make us slowly but surely spend more to cruise and so increase their profits

the cheapest Suite was four times the cost of an inside cabin

cruise lines are rapidly increasing the percentage of more costly cabins on newer ships to grow revenue and profits

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be aware that cruise lines are increasing the percentage of balcony and suite cabins on newer ships to charge more.

✓Consider that cabins designed for more people can lead to crowded ships during peak seasons.

✓Note that suite locations are often chosen for premium pricing rather than comfort.

✓Understand that cabin construction is standardized for durability and maintenance.
