After 50+ cruises, I'm ranking 12 cruise cabin types from worst to best; from inside cabins and solo studios to balconies and luxury suites. Which cruise cabins are worth the money, and which would I avoid booking again? I've personally stayed in every category on this list, paid my own way, and picked, booked, or bid on these rooms myself. No cruise line sponsored this video. My ranking weighs space and layout, sleep quality, bathrooms, views and outdoor space, perks, and value for what I paid. I'm comparing oceanview vs. interior cabins, Norwegian's solo Studio, Celebrity's Edge Single Stateroom, Infinite Veranda, Concierge Class, AquaClass, and The Retreat, plus traditional balconies, an MSC Yacht Club Interior, a Princess Mini-Suite, and a Silversea Classic Veranda Suite. Along the way, I share why a window doesn't always justify a higher fare, why a standard inside cabin can be excellent value, and when an upgrade bid can make a premium room worth considering. You'll also hear about my $450 solo AquaClass upgrade and $1,100 MSC Yacht Club upgrade, and why I judge the room and its perks together. What's the one cruise cabin you'd never book again? And which cabin type is your favorite? Tell me in the comments. 🚢 PLANNING A CRUISE?
