Creator's Key Takeaways

The perfect cabin depends on your budget, your travel style, your itinerary, and how much time you actually plan on spending in your room.

If you're someone who plans to be out by the pool all day, watching shows at night, and only returning to your room to shower and sleep, an interior cabin may be all you need.

Many experienced cruisers consider balconies the best overall value because they strike a great balance between price, comfort, and experience.

Try to choose a cabin with other passenger cabins directly above and below yours. That usually gives you the best chance at having a quieter room throughout the cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the 'sandwich rule' by booking a cabin with other passenger cabins above and below to minimize noise.
If worried about seasickness, choose a cabin located midship on lower or middle decks.
If on a tight budget, interior cabins allow more money for excursions and specialty dining.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Spending too much on a suiteI'd rather see someone take two cruises in a balcony cabin than one cruise in a suite if the experiences are otherwise similar.
SeasicknessCabins located midship and on lower or middle decks experience less motion, making them great choices for anyone worried about seasickness.
Noise from other passengersTry to choose a cabin with other passenger cabins directly above and below yours (the sandwich rule).
