Creator's Key Takeaways
So, when people come out here, they congregate at night. Sometimes they might have a little chat, maybe a bit of a laugh. So, I have had a few people who I've known who stayed in these rooms who said that there's a little bit of noise issue.
So, again, if you book late and this is all that's left or if it's all that works for your budget, it's not a terrible room at all.

Thinking about booking a luxury river cruise, but are worried about choosing the wrong stateroom? In this video, your Trusted Cruise, Tauck Tour & African Safari Expert, Shawn Power, takes you inside the Category 4 French Balcony Stateroom on the Tauck MS Grace to show you exactly what to expect before you book. With almost 100 countries visited, Shawn brings expert advice you can trust. 🌟HIGHLIGHTS: ✅ The Layout & Location: Explore the 190 sq ft Category 4 French Balcony stateroom situated at the very front of Deck 2. ✅ Real Noise Considerations ✅ Space Breakdown: A realistic look at the queen-sized bed layout and the more compact 190 sq ft footprint compared to larger 225–300 sq ft options. 💡Expert Tips: - As Shawn talks about here https://youtu.be/vutYPsoH57Y?si=Qb8LPWwMu8toQ3vq , on some of Tauck's ships a Category 4 room is more luxurious due to a totally different layout so make sure to book your river cruise with a Tauck expert like Shawn to make sure you understand the different rooms and you get the right room for you! -Bring a Travel Adapter: While there is a North American plug available, some bedside outlets are strictly European—pack a plug adapter to keep your CPAP machine, phone, or smartwatches charged right by your side. -Mind the Noise Factor: If you are a light sleeper, avoid the very front staterooms near the main stairwell and lobby where guests tend to congregate after evening lounge hours. -Upgrade for a King Bed: Remember that Category 4 rooms feature a queen bed. If a true king-size bed is a must-have for your luxury river cruise experience, look at upgrading to a Category 7 suite. 📚 Related Resources: Not sure what the best room to stay in is for your River Cruise?
