Creator's Key Takeaways

We sailed in stateaterooms Emerald 106 and 108, which are deluxe balcony obstructed stateaterooms at the very front of the ship.

The room is a comfortable size. We are sailing with two adults and one child in this room.

Location is one of the most important factors when you're booking a stateateroom, and a little planning goes a long, long way.

My best recommendation is to purchase the best cabin location for your budget and your needs upfront.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the location of amenities and venues you'll use most when picking a stateroom.
Look for rooms with a buffer of other rooms around it to reduce noise.
Plan your stateroom using deck plans available on princess.com or with your travel agent.
Purchase the best cabin location for your budget and needs upfront.

Motion sicknessIf prone to motion sickness, avoid the front of the ship; get closer to the middle and on a lower deck.
Noise from venuesAvoid being under the pool deck, restaurants, or too close to the theater or nightclubs.

YouTube Video Description

We take you on a tour of stateroom E106 onboard Sky Princess and explain why this wasn't the best choice for our family and what you can do to pick the idea room for your needs. The Deluxe Obstructed Balcony onboard the Royal Class of ships was a nice room but what should we have done better? Save time onboard and choose wisely! You'll find this same room onboard Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess, Majestic Princess, Regal Princess and Royal Princess. ---- CHANNEL & CONTACT INFORMATION ---- For the latest in Cruise News, Reviews and Specials, sign-up for our free, informative newsletter now! https://newsletter.tidalhorizons.com If you are located in Canada or the United States and would like travel planning assistance, please contact me using this form: http://contact.tidalhorizons.com For Excursion planning, use our affiliate link for Shore Excursions Group, experts in cruise excursion planning. http://excursions.tidalhorizons.com ** Please note unless otherwise noted, my videos are not sponsored either by the brands depicted or by other brands unrelated to the video. ** "Tidal Horizons - Cruise & Travel" is for informational and entertainment purposes.
