Creator's Key Takeaways

I suggest not getting a room on deck 3 and this is the reason why.

When you sit down, you don't really have a view.

There's almost no sense of getting and I mean it's not a huge savings $200 or $300.

I do suggest deck four or higher.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid booking a room on deck 3 due to obstructed views.
Book deck four or higher for an unobstructed view.
