Creator's Key Takeaways

We have been cruising for a lot of years. We have been on many cruise ships and cruise lines and we have a lot of friends in the cruising industry.

The problem with these interior balcony cabins is you'll pay almost as much as a balcony cabin that's overlooking the sea.

If you have one of these balconies that overlooks the prominade or the atrium, you're not going to have a sea view.

If you don't want the noise, if you want a little more peace and quiet, just go one deck below that and you'll be good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid booking a balcony cabin that does not face the ocean.
✓Avoid cabins below the pool deck to prevent noise from foot traffic and events.
✓Avoid cabins in the very forward or front of the ship if prone to motion sickness.
✓Avoid booking a balcony cabin on the lowest deck that has balcony cabins due to obstructed views.
✓Avoid cabins near the elevators to prevent noise from people and conversations.

Choosing a cabin with a sea view — Avoid interior balcony cabins that overlook the atrium or promenade.
Noise disrupting sleep or relaxation — Avoid cabins below the pool deck, near elevators, or in the forward section.
Motion sickness — Book in the middle or rear (aft) of the ship and consider scopolamine patches.
