The 10 Cabins To Avoid On A Cruise. How To Choose A Cruise Ship Cabin!

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Gary of Tips for Travelers provides guidance on selecting cruise ship accommodations by identifying ten specific cabin types to avoid. He begins by explaining the four primary categories of cabins, which include inside, ocean view, balcony, and suites. The creator notes that his advice applies regardless of the cabin class chosen. The list of cabins to avoid focuses heavily on noise and privacy concerns. He advises against adjoining cabins due to potential noise from neighbors, as well as cabins located directly beneath pool decks or promenade decks where foot traffic and activity are constant. Other recommendations include staying away from large public areas like kids clubs, theaters, or excursion meeting points. The creator also warns against cabins near nightclubs, laundry rooms, or central atriums to prevent disturbances from music, machinery, or lack of privacy. Additionally, he suggests avoiding cabins with obstructed views caused by lifeboats, those near crew access areas, and cabins on very low decks near the engine or anchor. By reviewing deck plans carefully, travelers can better select a quiet and comfortable space.

there can be a lot of noise you can hear people talking you can hear phones ringing televisions and it can really put a real damper on your cruise vacations
it was a nightmare it was right underneath the pool deck there was chairs scraping people walking past from very in the morning to late at night
