Creator's Key Takeaways

i don't spend any time in my cabin i just sleep in my cabin it's not that important

the biggest regret i get is that people didn't take that seriously enough

it's all about location location location so deciding where on a ship you want to be

focus on choosing the right cabin in the grade that you are at first

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose your cabin based on a fare where you're allowed to choose your cabin, not a guaranteed fare.
Look at deck plans to ensure you're surrounded on all sides by cabins to avoid problem areas.
Write down your specific cabin requirements and share them with your travel agent.
Plan ahead for special needs and book as soon as new cruises go on sale.
Consider the needs of your travel companions when selecting a cabin.
Avoid worrying about port vs. starboard side; focus on deck and ship location instead.
