WORST CRUISE SHIP CABINS
If you are prone to motion sickness, one of the worst cruise ship cabins to purchase is a completely forward cabin or on the upper decks. In these locations, you will feel the movement of the ship the most. For those individuals, the best cruise ship cabin to select is a midship cabin on a middle deck (closer to sea level0.

When comparing the cruise cabins to avoid, the ones that are near any entertainment venue are certainly the worst. We can speak from personal experience as we had a stateroom right above the theater and the noise was unbearable. These cruise ship cabins to avoid are easy to spot if you look at the ship's deck plans when selecting your cabin. Thus, you will want to find a stateroom location away from these venues.

For those who can get claustrophobic, one of the worst cruise cabins are inside cabins. While very cheap, they are also small and offer no views to the outside world. Our personal preference is always a balcony cabin. The extra space and access to fresh air make this stateroom category one of the best cruise cabins to opt for on your trip. Even an ocean view cabin is a better stateroom option.

COMPARING THE BEST AND WORST CRUISE CABINS
Other bad stateroom picks for travelers can be guaranteed rooms. While these rooms do promise cruisers a cabin in a particular category, there is no way of knowing the location until right before the trip. These cabins can be on any deck, next to loud areas, or have obstructed views. While it costs a bit more, picking your stateroom is a much better option if you don't want to leave your cabin to chance. On the flipside, if you are not too picky, you can score a great deal by opting for a guaranteed cabin.

Other cruise ship cabins to avoid include those located next to crew areas. While not always labeled on the deck plans, you can often get a general sense of where these areas could be. So, avoid getting cabins in these areas as there is often a lot of noise and foot traffic.

Likewise, stay away from cabins near the anchor or other ship hardware like the lifeboats. Again, the crew will be using these to drop anchor into your morning ports of call, for drills, and other general maintenance.

Finally, other cruise ship cabins to avoid include connecting staterooms. Unless you are traveling with the party located next door, these cabins have no added benefit. Plus, they tended to be noisier and have less privacy.
