Cabin Pressure
|
For three, five, seven or however many days, the ship’s cabin will be
your second home. Depending on your plans for rest and relaxation, you
might want to give some thought to your choice of cabins. If you plan
to be on the go, go, go and partake of all the ship has to offer, then
pay for the cheapest cabin rate. After all, you will only be in your
cabin to sleep and change your clothes. However, if you need to be alone
and plan to huddle in your cabin at times, reconsider your options.
All cruise cabins are created for comfort with a sensible design where
you can move with ease. Nonetheless, all cruise cabins are not the same.
Your normal, average cruise ship cabin is going to be smaller that what
you would find at some landlocked hotel. To compensate for the size,
cruise lines spoil the passengers with mints on their pillows, shampoos,
bath gel, fluffy robes and other amenities.
The cruise ship cabins were designed to make the best of the least amount
of space possible. Sure some cabins have more room than others, but
in any case, not a square inch is wasted. The cruise literature depicts
a roomy cabin but that is just trick photography. The furnishings are
utilitarian, but attractive. There is often a queen or king sized bed
that could be broken down into twin beds if you were traveling with
a companion other than a spouse or significant other. A closet or wardrobe
is also in the cabin with a desk, bathroom, shower and chair. Depending
on the size of your cabin, you might even have a little nook with a
small couch and table.
Inside cabins tend to be the most economical. If you do not mind not
having any windows or portholes to see outside, then this might be the
choice for you. Inside cabins are usually about the same size as the
outside cabins. It does tend to be darker when you have an inside cabin,
so keep that in mind.
Outside cruise ship cabins have a window or a few portholes, which allow
the sunshine to come into your cabin. If you are susceptible to claustrophobia
and the thought of an inside cabin with no window gives you the shakes,
book an outside cabin.
If enjoying the ocean views in the privacy of your own cabin is a must,
consider booking an outside cabin with a balcony or terrace. This option
is pricier, but it gives you a private view of the ocean with your own
little deck.
If you have the expendable cash and want the “ooh-la-la” factor, consider
the cruise ship suite option. Just picture the usual amenities along
with some excess square footage. You definitely have room to maneuver!
You’ll have extras like a mini-refrigerator and a private veranda.
The only thing about booking a cabin is that you cannot pick what part
of the ship you want. You pay the going rate for the kind of cabin you
want and hope for the best when it comes to its location like being
near elevators or the bow are of the ship. If you are worried about
seasickness, request a cabin on the lower decks. You may not be able
to be accommodated, but it never hurts to ask. Just remember to keep
in mind why you are on the cruise in the first place. Choose the best
type of cabin for your needs and enjoy your cruising experience.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
