Creator's Key Takeaways

choosing a cabin is actually one of the more important parts about booking your cruise

most people if you've cruised before you would know probably that staying midship is generally the more stable part of the ship

if you are interested in natural light I would definitely recommend an ocean view and of course if you're interested in fresh air and having that additional space outdoors to have your own private sense of connection with the ocean or just another place to hang out then a balcony room is definitely the thing to go for

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider location, room type, and price when choosing a cabin
✓Book a guaranteed cabin to save money if you don't mind the cruise line assigning your specific room
✓Choose a cabin with cabins above and below to minimize noise
✓Check for upgrade costs from interior to ocean view or balcony rooms
✓Speak to a travel advisor for suite options and perks

Not knowing what cabin categories mean — Interior rooms have no window, ocean view rooms have a window, balcony rooms have a balcony, and suites offer more space and perks
Noise from pool deck or theater — Choose a cabin with cabins above and below, and avoid cabins under the pool deck or near the theater

There's actually a lot to consider when it comes to choosing a cruise ship cabin or stateroom. More than just price, you need to think about location, amenities and how big the ship is. It can take quite a bit of experience to know where the best spot is, and it really does vary from ship to ship. Join me as we take a look at a breakdown of the various stateroom categories that are available, and even categories within categories! I hope you enjoy learning more about cruising.
