When you’re on the ship, your cruise cabin is your home away from home. It’s a place for you to relax, take in a beautiful view (assuming you have a balcony), and generally enjoy yourself. But cabins on the ship have some unique characteristics that make them unique from any other place you might stay.
With that in mind, here are more than 20 tips, hacks, and things to know for your cabin before you get on the cruise ship.

When booking an interior cabin, we reduce that closed-in feeling by leaving the TV on to the outside ship cameras. It makes it feel like we have a window, plus we know what the weather is before we leave the cabin.

@karenthomas5624 11 месяцев назад

That is a great tip.

@beege4491 2 года назад

We put one suitcase under the bed open! That way we can just slide it out a bit to put our used clothing in. At the end of the cruise we have less to pack and when we get home the "laundry" suitcase goes right to the laundry room. Easy peasy.

I ALWAYS take bracelet or necklace length glow sticks (from $Tree) to use as night lights. Simply make the loops and hang on door knob or door hooks! On one cruise there was a young couple that had an interior room and no night light. She tripped in the dark going to restroom. Poor thing was a mess and had to visit infirmary. I took them some of my glo sticks to help for remainder of cruise. TIP: If you stick them in fridge in morning they’ll usually last 2 days🤩. Happy cruising😎

When I first got to my cruise cabin I took a picture of the room number on the door. I always do this when staying in hotels as well.

Although it is only briefly mentioned, all cabins have metal walls. I ALWAYS bring a set of magnetic hooks.

Thank you for recommending the cabins I avoid. That leaves more of the ones that I prefer! If you want to avoid the motion of the ocean like I do, you want a lower deck near the center. I have cruised in seas bad enough to flip the grand piano in the lounge upside down. Also, I like having a long way to walk on a ship instead of being close to everything. Since I don’t use the elevators, that gives me more exercise, which helps burn off the calories from that great cruise food. I average over 15,000 steps and 20+ flights of up stairs per day.

I really think it's personal preference. Not every weekend cruise is a party cruise.

With that being said, it is very much worth whatever room you want to have because it should be a treat 😉

I can concur mostly everything in this video... I never take 7 day cruises... I always try to get at least 12 days or more... mostly because of the time and cost of flying there and I prefer European destinations. So I will either book a balcony or suite cabin. The showers are so small...I used to be a much larger person and was a bit of an issue for me. But the good news is I lost 100lbs and my upcoming cruise is in a suite and they always have enough room. Also planning your use of public washrooms is something I have done for years. My only caution in selecting cabins is be wary of obstructed views... they usually tell you however I have been burned a couple of times.

Having been on almost 50 cruises, all the things you said were pretty much true and good information.

If you know that it's not going to be important to you, don't bring one. I've just gotten to where I just let my hair dry naturally out on the balcony or something, and then flat iron it or do whatever I'm going to do. I'm just letting you ladies out there and men , too.

@GregInHouston2 2 года назад

To dry things on the balcony, bring clips and use them. The line in the cabin shower is useful unless you want to take a shower. It's also not very good for actually drying your clothes as there is not air circulation in the bathroom. The fan is a good idea if you have room.

In between the main traffic areas and the pool/clubs/main theater are the noisiest places on the ship!

Love these tips! I did watch more TV than I wanted bc I had a gout attack on my ankle so couldn't walk as much. The Carnival Sunshine had many tv show channels and two channels that showed movies.

That was a really interesting video 🙂 thank you for sharing :)

We only ever go interior as we are always upstairs looking around and having a cuppa up on deck, we always get to go on more cruises then too, simply can't afford the balcony anyway!

Hi Cruzelies thanks for sharing, great infos, we enjoy your channel :-) We are a family of five and also stayed in an inside cabin. It was however not bad. It was even less stressy. A balcony cabin would stress us up with the three small kids. The cost saving lead as well to an extension of the cruise trip ;-)

@kmcbride2988 Год назад

I find my family and friends always choose cabins on lower decks. They always complain of motion sickness. When I visit their cabins I can’t stay long because I feel the motion. I prefer mid ship mid decks Ive stayed on Higher decks but only in the middle.

I've never been on a cruise and I don't plan on going on one, so why am I not only watching this video but enjoying it too?

Ha ha, your subconscious is telling you something 😂different.

Balconies are the way to go! You need some peace and quiet!

@stevenwilson6515 Год назад

Great advice. I refuse to cruise without a balcony. The commentator was correct as to splurge/upgrade on a week or longer cruise. I do so cause a 3/4 day trip doesn't do it for me. Smoking in your cabin is a no-no! I incurred a $300.00 fine on one cruise, but did not get kicked off the boat, as they have the option to do, including the fine.

I'm taking notes because it's apparently cheaper to book cruises back-to-back than living in a retirement home.

too true.

@fredrosenbaum8630 Год назад

Re TV channels, lat fall at least Princess had a channel dedicated to The Love Boat. Fun to watch how we grew up thinking cruising was. Also keep one of your under-bed suitcases open and use it for dirty laundry. And I love sruise ship showers - where else can you just soap up the walls and spin around to get clean.

I always bring an alarm clock. There's usually no clock in the room, and while I may be on vacation, I still want to know the time

As an NCL Platinum status member, my last NCL cruise is coming up this May. Besides the extraordinary cost of the free at sea, wifi, etc., they nickel & dime everywhere they possibly can & raised gratuity into the stratosphere. Their treatment of employees was the initial reason why we have cruised NCL exclusively over the last 10+ years but they have gone the extreme other way this past year by not allowing them above crew quarters, doubling their work load, cutting salaries, etc., etc. NCL has also cut entertainment, closed the purse strings at the casinos & cut back on service. I get it that they need to catch up from Covid financially but they have crossed the line. Not to mention their new Prima class is cold, bland + uninviting. We're finally throwing in the towel + admitting defeat.

We have always brought a small fan and never had a problem until our last cruise, which was on Princess. On our last cruise they took our small fan. Our room steward went to bat for us and talked to the powers to be and after they took apart the fan to make sure it was in good working order after a few days we did finally get our fan back. It was the first time our fan was questioned and we have cruised on 8 different cruise lines and have many cruises under our belt.

@alwaysright5901 Год назад

I would just hide the fan in my luggage when not in use each day. Can't believe that fans are an issue on ships!

@mitchellemstraining1 Год назад

We requested a fan on day one and steward had it delivered in 10 minutes. Free use for the entire crew. Worked great

@MJ-gj6mj Год назад

It's actually comical that we have to do so many hacks in a room that is extremely costly. 😆 cruises!

@kelslo74 Год назад

Right?!

@sunshinet90 2 года назад

After watching the documentary about people being stuck on their cruise ships due to Covid, there's no way I am going to NOT buy a balcony room. Imagine being quarantined 24/7 in an interior room, no sunlight or windows. It sounds awful.

@arnoldcarolus1295 2 года назад

Hopefully those days are over.

@flapkatt6094 2 года назад

If your test indicates positive, you will be placed in the "red zone" the ship has determined as the quarantine area. You would not be allowed to remain in your booked cabin, regardless of your having paid for it!

@michaelvoorhees5978 Год назад

Covid is no longer a threat

@joanconley2032 Год назад

Yes they quarantine you to a different part of the ship definitely not your nice balcony room, don’t be foolish thinking you’ll be able to stay there😢😮

@chaupham214 Год назад

@maril1379 Год назад

@robynwilliams2859 Год назад

Omg… what ship is that being shown at 3:50?! 😱 That balcony room is gorgeous!! I want to be in it!!

@miguelangelcativo4 2 года назад

Many of your tips are spot on, but the guaranteed cabin is a big NO for me, twice we've done it and twice we regretted it first time we got a cabin on the second floor, the second time we paid for a balcony and got a port hole balcony at the front of the ship, my wife who never had been sea sick before got sick. Also a good way to dry your swim suit is to use the hangers provided in your closet the ones with the clothes pins and hang them behind your balcony chair.

@jaywoods378 2 года назад

I completely agree.

@AlliMummert 2 года назад

If you don’t mind me asking, what is a port hole balcony? I also get sea sick/motion sickness pretty badly, so I’m definitely trying to avoid that lol. This will be my third cruise but first time booking one on my own for my honeymoon, and will be going with a balcony suite. I seen in some videos that some of the balcony’s don’t have the see-through glass, but just a standard ledge which obstructs the view of the water so also don’t want that either. 👎🏻

@lorrainehines1410 2 года назад

I agree must have a balcony. We are hoping to go on our cruise in june.

@robpreston6423 Год назад

Awesome tour. Boarding spirit on Sunday!!

@KarynHill 2 года назад

You're correct that people shouldn't bring a hairdryer but that's only because they're not allowed. There is one in the cabin but on most lines, it's actually not even strong enough to blow up the corner of a piece of paper. I suggest coming up with a hairstyle that doesn't require a hairdryer.

@eminiarvii 2 года назад

@Karyn. Not sure which line you cruise with but hair dryers are allowed on royal, princess and celebrity, those are the lines i travel on. The dryer in the room is not that good and if you are traveling with 2 other ladies a hairdryer is a must😊
