Question 12

Which cabin should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Cruise ships generally have four cabin types: Interior, Oceanview, Balcony and Suite. If you're not planning to spend much time in your cabin, you can save money by booking an interior or oceanview cabin. If you want more space and natural light, you should opt for a Balcony or Suite.

Question 13

What's a "guarantee" cabin?

Accepted Answer

A guaranteed cabin is usually a lower-priced option where you pick a category and the cruise line assigns your cabin number. If you want to be sure you are in a certain part of the ship, you should not select a guaranteed cabin. However if you are flexible, it's a good way to save some money. The cabin is typically assigned a few days before sailing.

Question 14

What's the best cabin location?

Accepted Answer

The best cabin location depends on your preferences. If you want to avoid motion sickness, you should book a cabin in the middle of the ship. If you want to be close to the action, you should book a cabin near the elevators. If you want a quiet cabin, you should book a cabin away from the elevators and public areas.
