Cruise: Never book these cruise ship cabins – you risk an unpleasant problem

“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.

What’s more, the noise of the ping of the lift could also prove infuriating to light sleepers.

It’s always worth examining the cruise ship deck plan when booking. Passengers should look out for white spaces on the deck plans. This is because these places are for staff areas which could well prove very noisy.

These could be 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.
