Thinking about booking a luxury river cruise but are worried about choosing the wrong cabin category? In this video, your Trusted Cruise, Tauck Tour & African Safari Expert, Shawn Power, takes you on an honest, unfiltered walkthrough of the 225 sq. ft. Middle Deck Category 5 cabin on the MS Grace to show you exactly why it might not be a fan favorite. With almost 100 cruises personally sailed and almost 100 countries visited, Shawn brings expert advice you can trust to help you avoid common booking mistakes and find the ultimate luxury river cruise experience. 🌟HIGHLIGHTS: ✅ Real Cabin Layout: A full tour of the 225 square foot Middle Deck Category 5 stateroom layout on Tauck’s MS Grace. ✅ The Bathroom Breakdown: Why the tight placement of the toilet, sink, and shower makes this layout feel a bit cramped compared to Categories 6 and 7. ✅ The Closet Conflict: How the placement of the bathroom door and closet can create unexpected traffic jams with your travel partner. ✅ Category 5 Confusion: The critical difference between the middle deck and top deck Category 5 rooms so you don’t accidentally book the wrong one. 💡Expert Tips: - As Shawn talks about here https://youtu.be/vutYPsoH57Y?si=Qb8LPWwMu8toQ3vq , on some of Tauck's ships a Category 5 room is the most luxurious room onboard & even on this ship there are Category 5 rooms on the top deck with 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! -Check the Deck Plan Details: Always double-check your deck location, as Tauck features two very different layouts under the Category 5 designation. -Mind the Port Views: If you choose a middle deck cabin, be prepared to keep your drapes closed while in port if you want complete privacy from the dock. -Pack a Travel Adapter: Even on high-end luxury ships, don't forget to pack a European travel adapter to keep your devices charged near the nightstand. 📚 Related Resources: Not sure what the best room to stay in is for your River Cruise?
