Creator's Key Takeaways

For a neurode divergent traveler, that could ruin the whole vacation, having to divert their already diverted routine even further and not being able to get the quiet that they need to rest and recharge.

Your cabin is the one space on board that is all for you for that cruise. And it is worth being particular about.

If you are a new cruiser, I do recommend trying to get towards the center of the ship and on one of the mid decks.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid guaranteed cabins if you want to control your environment.
✓Consider mid-ship and mid-deck placement for better stability if prone to seasickness.
✓Be aware that accessible cabins may require documentation and are not a 'hack' for extra space.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seasickness — Try to book a mid-ship cabin on a lower deck for more stability.
Phantom rocking — Be aware that you may feel the ship's movement even after stepping on land.
Guaranteed cabins — Avoid these if you are a new cruiser as you cannot choose your location.
