Where is my cabin located?


This will be your room for anything from a weekend up to a 3 month cruise around the world. Size does matter and so does location, go for the best you can afford. An outside view/ balcony is essential after all you're paying to see more of the world. Check that the mention of a window, doesn't just mean a porthole. Avoid cabins located near the galley, stairwells, disco, engines and anchor if you want a serene cruise. If travelling alone, there will be a significant surcharge.

Which side of the ship your cabin is on, can also be important - so if your cruise ship is following a coastline, you will see the ports of call coming into view from your balcony.

Suites are available and are worth paying the extra if you can afford it. Not only are they larger than the standard cabin/stateroom, but carry other benefits such as a higher level of room service, preferential access to speciality restaurants, express check-in and disembarkation. Although labelled as suites - they do not have a door separating the bed from the lounge area.
