Cruise ship holidays can be tremendous fun indeed with plenty of relaxation and indulgence on board. But there’s one thing you must check for while booking a cruise. Look for white spaces on the deck plan, says an article published in Express.co.uk
Most of the time is spent in cabin
Cruise ship holidays see travellers exploring new destinations during stop offs and making the most of onboard amenities.
However, plenty of time will still be spent in your ship cabin, even if all you do there is sleep. So, when looking to book a cruise look out for white spaces on the deck plan.
This means it’s key you’re happy with your cabin of choice while you’re onboard the floating hotel.
Careful examination of a ship deck plan can help you to identify cabins to steer clear of. There’s one thing that you might notice on such a plan that you should definitely avoid.
When looking to booking a cruise look out for white spaces on the deck plan.
Look for white space?
This is because these places are for
- Staff areas which could well prove very noisy,
- The housekeeping room,
- Laundry rooms,
- Crew elevators and so forth.
The rooms are not relevant to cruise passengers so they will not show up on the plan.
Staff could well be using these rooms very early in the morning as they start their day.
Highly disruptive noise
The noise from such rooms could well prove highly disruptive to any passengers sleeping nearby.
Consequently you may want to pick a cabin as far away from white spaces as possible.
If you are unsure, you can call your travel agent or cruise line for further information.
Looking for a quiet cabin?
There are other locations on board you should look out for if you’re wanting a quiet cabin.
Cruise experts at Cruiseline.com advise against choosing a ship cabin near the lifts or stairs.
This is because these locations could end up being very noisy indeed.
“There are all types of crowds on a cruise ship, including early risers and late-night partiers,” explained Cruiseline.com.
“This means that throughout the night (and early in the morning), passengers will be gathered around the elevators and travelling the stairs.”
These holidaymakers could end up being very loud as they start their day or make merry into the night.
