Picking the Perfect cruise cabin
Picking the perfect cabin is as important as picking the right cruise. With up to 1000 cabins and 20 different categories to choose from its important to get the right one that suits you, also take in to consideration where on the ship your cabin will be. For instance, on the lower decks you will not feel the movement of the ship as much as on an upper deck. Is a balcony important? Do you want your cabin to be a refuge, a place to sit and relax, or is it just a place to store your luggage and sleep. The options aboard are numerous, and choosing the perfect cabin is key to getting the most out of your cruise.
Cabins are split in to four categories, inside, outside, balcony and suite. Basically the inside cabins are the least expensive, and are priced accordingly as you move up the ship. The best balcony cabins are those at the aft of the ship, which normally have deeper balconies and romantic views of the ships wake. Families travelling together can choose to have interconnecting rooms creating a spacious suite. If total cabin luxury is what you desire then there are penthouse suites with your own private butler.
INSIDE CABINS
An inside cabin has no window and is perfect if you are on a budget, although it is the smallest cabin on board it in no way compromises on facilities. Each cabin provides an oversize single, twin/double bed, TV radio, air conditioning, hairdryer, storage, and a bathroom with shower. For those who can't bare the thought of not having a window Royal Caribbean's Promenade staterooms have inside cabins overlooking the Royal Arcade. Or for a more luxurious option Azanmara Cruises Club Interior staterooms, with butler services and Elemis bathroom products
An Outside Cabin
Usually these are the same size as an inside cabin with the same amenities but with a picture sized window, although this can't be opened. The extra cost is somewhere in the region of 5 to 10% to the price of your cruise.
Balcony Cabins
A balcony cabin gives you privacy and the outdoors when you want it without having to leave your cabin. This makes a balcony cabin extremely popular. Balconies are large enough for two chairs a small table, inside you will have a queen sized or twin beds, with a small lounge area, expect the same appliances as an inside cabin. Depending on the cruise line you choose you could also expect extras such as complimentary bath robes, toiletries, canaps each evening and the services of a concierge who will book your excursions and entertainment aboard. Where you choose to have a balcony cabin will reflect in the price, midship balconies are the cheaper whereas the upper deck positions are the most expensive.

Suites for Families and Groups
