Cabin Types
Whilst you tend to spend little time in your cabin whilst onboard the ship there are a huge range of cabin options available, Cabins tend to be priced by grade, this is normally to do with the size of the cabin whether it inside or outside and the position on the ship.
Inside Cabins are the lowest priced but will include all the same basic facilities as an outside, again size will come in to this as a superior inside my mean the is slightly more sqft than the standard inside. Only you know yourself, if you like to be out and about, then an inside cabin is probably the right choice for you as it will be the base where you just lay your head.
Outside Cabins will feature a porthole or picture window for which you can see the grand ocean vista, as with the inside, facilities will remain the same but with the added advantage of natural light.
Balcony cabins are the most popular option these days and newer ships are built to reflect this by offering over 80% of it's accommodation in this type. Balcony cabins do tend to be larger than both the inside and outside cabin options balcony cabins are well suited to families for this reason. They are a great place to escape and maybe read a book or sip a cocktail whilst waiting to see what's on the horizon.
If you would like to have more than one than one bedroom and bathroom or maybe a separate living then a suite maybe the ideal cabin option for you. These vary from mini suites to full scale grand suites which may have its own whirlpool or grand piano, On Royal Caribbean's new Oasis of the Sea's there are 2 storey loft suites and on NCL's new Epic there are grand villas for which to spoil you.
