Creator's Key Takeaways

we definitely heard some noise on this side and some noise on this side last night which was a bit disturbing

we always feel more crowded on these ships because everyone goes to the same event at the same time

you're on a cruise this is your view so it can't be that bad

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If you're a light sleeper, keep in mind that walls on older ships may be thinner.

✓Expect crowds on smaller ships as venues are limited and everyone gathers for the same events.

✓If you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, be aware that it can travel through open areas on older ships.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Crowding on smaller ships — Be prepared for crowded venues as there are fewer activities and spaces compared to newer ships.

Cigarette smoke smell — If sensitive to smoke, note that it can permeate areas due to open design in older ships.
