Creator's Key Takeaways

I recommend that you bring a battery operated candle.

There's something that's just so nice about waking up in the morning and opening the curtain and opening the balcony door and being able to go out onto the balcony.

If it's in your budget, go for a balcony cabin or splurge for a balcony cabin and have a little bit less extra spending money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a battery-operated candle for inside cabins to avoid total darkness.
✓Spend money on excursions or specialty dining instead of upgrading to an ocean view cabin.
✓Choose a balcony cabin for privacy and fresh air, but beware of inside-facing balconies on some ships.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Inside cabins are too dark. — Bring a battery-operated candle for natural light without disturbing others.
Balcony cabins might not have a real ocean view. — Check if the balcony faces inside the ship (e.g., Central Park on Royal Caribbean) before booking.
