The experts at Iglu Cruise revealed some of the easy ways you can find the best cabins onboard when you're looking to book - and simple checks you should make to ensure they really are going to offer the best views and locations. They explained: "It very much depends on your individual preferences. The first question to ask yourself is how you want to spend your cruise, and then pick a cabin accordingly.
"Good examples of this are cabins located closest to kids’ areas; the spa; dining; the pool; the theatre and so on. Some travellers will want to be near lifts and stairs. "Midship is deemed to be best for those concerned about the swells, the aft of the ship is wonderful for sailaways from ports, when you can watch the foamy ship’s wake leaving a trail behind you.
"Be careful what is above, beneath, and, if you choose an outside or balcony cabin, what’s immediately outside such as a promenade deck. Take a very close look at deck plans to be sure what could be surrounding you.".
