Creator's Key Takeaways

if you select the wrong room it can turn your dream vacation into a nightmare

we've had nights where we haven't got to sleep until about 4 in the morning because of all the noise that was happening behind us

if you're a new Cruiser where do you want to book quite often new Cruisers are worried that they may get seasick so my suggestion would be to book something towards the middle of the boat

never use the guaranteed option for a room always book your room by looking at the deck line plans
