Creator's Key Takeaways

Not all cruise cabins are created equal, and picking the wrong one could ruin your trip.

I'm revealing the key factors that separate a great cabin from a disaster.

If you are new to cruising or prone to motion sickness, you want to get the midship.

My wife and I are not very prone to motion sickness. Our preference would be aft cabins, forward cabins, and then midship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose midship if you are new to cruising or prone to motion sickness.
Check deck plans to avoid noise from elevators, kitchens, or entertainment venues.
Consider balcony privacy and potential obstructions when booking.
Ask your travel agent or cruise line about upgrade promotions and bidding programs.
