Travel Tips

I always choose the cheapest inside room. I have always been upgraded to a better inside room free. I also choose a room near the middle of the ship, close to the elevators. I chose a room next to the elevator once. I will not do that again. All you could hear all night was the thig going up and down.

My first cruise was a three day to the Bahamas out of Port Canaveral. It was great, but too short. It did get me hooked, however. They are habit forming.

The best time is September or December. That is when I go. Less kids, and lower prices. Source(s): sa

In my experience, the lower you are on the ship, the less you feel the motion of the waves. On the other hand, upper decks have better windows with a view. I'd recommend going in the spring, before hurricane season starts.
For seasickness, lower and towards the middle is the best.

However, more expensive rooms are usually higher up because they are closer to the dining rooms, clubs etc. I have been in both a suite on the top deck towards the front of the ship and an inside cabin on the 2nd lowest deck in the middle.

The inside room was much better in terms of location for me. The suite room seemed to sway a lot more and was noisy since it was near the nightclub. However, I had to wait a long time for the elevator from the inside cabin.

If you don't get seasick, then I would pick something towards the front - you get some great views.

Best time to go is off peak - the prices are cheaper and the cruises are quieter. I prefer April - early May

Go to the cruise providers website and look at the layout of the ship.

Avoid cabins that are over the theater, casino and other high traffice areas unless you are a heavy sleeper!

You really don't spend that much time in your room, so pay for an inside stateroom.

They also have a 90-day ticker and bargain search engine for discounted cruises.
Inside is usually the lowest price, and yes the lower you are on the ship the lower the price of the room. You are further from the action such as the food and casino and theater but closer to getting off the ship in ports. Sea sickness is going to be less the lower and closer to the middle of the ship you are.
The best cabin to limit the effects of the ship's motion are mid-ship and on the lower levels. However, on most cruise ships these day you will experience very little motion anyway. Some people worry about getting sea sick, but the ships being used these days have automated stabilizers which minimize the rocking. The larger ships cut through the water so easy that you don鈥檛 even feel like you are moving. When there is bad weather the cruise lines will steer around and away from it, sometimes changing the order of port stops. Also, the ships generally move overnight and dock in the mornings so you don鈥檛 feel much movement. Consequently, your chances of getting sea sick are minimal. There is generally less motion than on an airplane. If you do get sick, all ships have a doctor and they will dispense sea sick medicines. If you are prone to motion sickness, just get pills or a patch from your own doctor before you go, or go to a boating store and get a sea sickness bracelet.

The cabin on the higher decks cost more because they have a better view of the ocean and most often the suites and penthouse cabins are located on the higher floors.

The best time to go on a cruie to the Bahamas or anywhere in the Caribbean is in the spring from about March through June, before the hurricane season. Caribbean cruises in November, after the hurricane season can be nice. If you go in the winter months the overall weather may be nice but the water may not be warm enough unless you go past the Bahamas to San Juan or St Thomas, etc.
