Creator's Key Takeaways

I am back with a new video for Best & Worst Cruise Staterooms and today I am starting my series on the Quantum Class ships, starting with Odyssey of the Seas.

your best stateroom is not everybody's best state room so book The Best Day room that is for you that you can afford but your needs and wants are going to be different from somebody else

the worst stateroom on a cruise ship is probably still better than any room at home because you're on a cruise you're on vacation

I have been right below the pool deck and I've never had an issue with noise I am a very light sleeper

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Watch the separate video on 10 things to consider when booking your stateroom before watching this one.

✓Choose a stateroom based on what you want to be close to (e.g., Adventure Ocean, pool deck, Windjammer).

✓For Royal Up or guarantee bookings, know the categories and what they mean (e.g., 'large balcony' refers to balcony size, not room size).

✓If you have young kids, consider being on the same deck as Adventure Ocean for convenience.

✓Avoid deck 13 if concerned about noise from the pool deck above.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Noise from pool deck — I have been right below the pool deck and I've never had an issue with noise, even as a light sleeper. However, if concerned, avoid deck 13.

Choosing a stateroom without experience — Your best stateroom is not everybody's best stateroom. Book what you can afford based on your needs and wants.

Understanding Royal Up categories — Know that 'large balcony' usually means a larger balcony, not a larger stateroom. First-time Royal Up bidders may be disappointed.
