5 cabin types to avoid on a cruise

Each passenger has their own needs, different desires, and their own ideas of the perfect vacation, especially when traveling in a group. It's often necessary to consider individual requests to make the vacation pleasantly memorable.

Among the many aspects to consider when planning a cruise, it's important to pay attention to the cabin - it will be your home throughout the journey. Like with dining, the choice of accommodation can significantly affect the overall impression of the vacation.

Taking a negative approach! What cabins should you avoid?

  1. Interior cabins: Although they're budget-friendly, interior cabins can limit the sense of space and time due to the lack of natural light. Many may say that the cabin is only needed for sleep, but believe me: falling asleep to the sound of the waves during sailing is a whole different experience.

  2. Cabins near public areas: Convenient for quick access to public areas, but often subjected to constant noise. If silence is your priority, it's worth avoiding these locations to ensure a peaceful rest.

  3. Cabins with obstructed views: These cabins are often cheaper than regular balcony cabins but may have visibility limitations due to structural elements or lifeboats. This can significantly diminish the enjoyment of the panorama from your cabin.

  4. Cabins under pools and restaurants: While convenient in terms of location, they're often subject to noise and background music effects at night, which can disrupt your relaxation, unless, of course, you're a party enthusiast.

  5. Cabins on the ship's edges: Although they offer panoramic views, cabins on the edges of the ship, located at the stern and bow, may be more susceptible to rocking compared to more central cabins. Therefore, they're not recommended for those who suffer from seasickness or have a sensitive stomach.
