Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been making travel videos for 15 years now of popular and not so popular tourist destinations

I almost never book an Ocean View cabin

I will always always always prefer to be in a balcony cabin

I would rather just not go on the cruise than book an Ocean View

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider an inside cabin if you need complete darkness to sleep
Virtual balcony cabins can be a good upgrade if available and in budget
Avoid Ocean View cabins as the window benefit is not worth the price difference
Balcony cabins are worth the extra cost for privacy and space
Avoid cruises offering kids sail free promotions

A decision that everyone booking a cruise must make: inside, ocean view, or balcony? This video will help you get a good idea of the differences between the two, and why I usually never book an "ocean view" cabin on my cruise vacations. #cruise #cruiseline #cabintour Celebrity Apex Infinite Veranda Tour: https://youtu.be/Zjvc7QEp8Lw Carnival Sunrise Balcony Tour: https://youtu.be/8gxpGKddkZc Norwegian EPIC Balcony Cabin tour: https://youtu.be/tzIeViOWTqI MSC Magnifica Balcony Cabin Tour: https://youtu.be/v8r454nvQDc Get my NEW BOOK!
