3 Cruise Cabins to Avoid (And 1 to Book if You Can!!!)

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides advice on selecting cruise ship cabins by analyzing ship architecture and design. Using various ship models like the MSC Maravilla and Norwegian Epic as references, the creator identifies three types of cabins to avoid. First, cabins located directly underneath the pool deck overhang are discouraged because they receive little to no sunlight on the balcony. Second, cabins situated on the deck immediately below high-activity areas like water slides or pool bars are flagged due to noise and vibrations from passengers. Third, cabins located directly next to elevator banks or stairways are noted for high foot traffic and potential privacy issues. Conversely, the creator recommends looking for cabins in transitional areas where the ship design bends. These specific locations often feature extra-large balconies and may sometimes be available at a similar price point to standard balcony cabins. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to share their own cabin experiences in the comments to help educate the cruising community.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I have been on 16 cruises on 15 different cruise ships
if you are on the first or second or third or maybe even fourth deck underneath that overhang on the inside part of this design you will have little to no sunlight on your balcony
try to be at least three decks underneath the pool deck and yeah try to avoid any cabin on the deck directly available directly below the pool deck
having a an extra-large balcony on a cruise is a really great thing
