Creator's Key Takeaways

I've only sailed on the Odyssey once

your best stateroom is not everybody's best state room

the worst stateroom on a cruise ship is probably still better than any room at home

I almost regretted giving that up

Creator's Tips & Advice

Watch the '10 things to consider when booking your stateroom' video before this one
Choose a stateroom based on what you want to be close to (e.g., Adventure Ocean, pool deck)
For Royal Up, know what categories you're bidding on and that 'larger balcony' means balcony size, not room size

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Noise from pool deckDeck 13 is below the pool deck, but the creator has never had noise issues even as a light sleeper; avoid if concerned
Choosing a stateroom without experienceConsider what activities you'll spend time on (pool, gym, spa) and choose a location accordingly
