CHEAP HONEYMOON LOCATIONS
how important is location of a room on a cruise ship?
i’m about to book a caribbean in december on carnival. it will be my honeymoon and i’ll be taking my 10 month old infant. i was told the middle is best with a baby as it rocks less. i know i want a balcony but don’t know if i care about anything else (first timer). balcony, not picking room is the cheapest. but where will i end up? if i want to pick my room it starts at $250 more and then more money for each deck up. should i save the money or splurge and is it worth it?
From a travel agent’s point of view I generally try to get towards the middle of the ship and I don’t generally pay too much for a higher deck.
Inside or outside. It really depends on the length of the cruise. For a short cruise, I don’t spend enough time in the cabin to notice which room I’m in. I also find thayt if I am tired and want a nap during the day bacuase I plan to stay up late for a show or the midnight buffet, then the pitch black inside cabin has it’s benefits. For longer cruises, if you can afford a balconey, get one. Especially if you are on a cruise like Alaska or the Mediterranean where there is so much scenery to see. The discos and bars tend to be on the ends or the tops of the ships, so low and in the center is good to avoid the boom boom of the bass as 2 am.
Generally, if you go through a travel agent, who books a lot of cabins on a cruise, when you get a guaranteed stateroom, you will frequently get upgraded. This is not a certainty, but it definitely happens. As the cruise sells out, and the staterooms fill, the cruise line wants to sell as many rooms as possible, they can sell more of the cheaper rooms, so they will move the already booked passengers in the guaranteed rooms up, to have some cheap rooms to sell.
As far as elevators (mentioned above) most large cruise ships have front rear and mid ship elevator banks.
