It’s important to make a good choice when selecting your cabin for your next cruise. After staying in several different cabin types, I have been able to learn about the the different cabin types. The different cabin types have their pros and cons. Most of the cruise lines have different basic categories that their cabins are classified into based on their layout and sizes.
The cheapest cabins on the ship are usually inside cabins because these cabins are located on the inside of the ship. They don’t have windows. The first time I booked an inside cabin I was a little apprehensive about whether I would feel claustrophobic. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the inside cabin still had plenty of room and I didn’t feel constrained at all. For cruisers that enjoy sleeping in late in the morning, an inside cabin provides a nice dark place to sleep. If you are considering booking an inside cabin, you should take a look a deck plan of the ship you will be cruising on. Make note if your potential cabin is located next to a stairwell, because these rooms can be noisier from people using the stairs.
The next setup up from the inside cabin is the cabins on the outside. Outside cabins are often larger than inside cabins and include a window to the outside. Your outside cabin may include a porthole or a full-sized normal window. It was nice having natural sunlight in my outside cabin, however I did not spend much time looking out of it so it wasn’t that important of a feature to me.
The next step up is the balcony cabin. These cabins are usually slightly larger than the standard outside cabin. Your cabin will have a door with access to your own “private” balcony. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with our balcony because only a thin sheet of metal separated us from our neighbor. When they were out on their balcony I could clearly hear all of their conversations. However, the experience of sleeping at night with the balcony door open was an unforgettable experience.
If you have the ability to afford it, you might want to consider a suite. These premium cabins are the best and largest on the ship. With your own private suite, you may find that your time spent in your suite was one of your favorite parts of your cruise.
Investigate the different cabin types before booking your next cruise. Cost, size and features are all things that you should give thought to when selecting your cabin. See you onboard!
