However, there is a major caveat to consider.
“These tend to be the most expensive [cabins] and book up fast.

Both experts suggest booking a room with a veranda or a balcony especially if this is your first sailing.
“We suggest aft-facing verandas,” Bucolo said.
“These veranda balcony cabins tend to offer more interior space.
But the big draw is the oversized balconies that face outwards, overlooking the back of the ship.”
Travelers cruising to Antarctica or the Arctic Circle during their respective summer seasons may experience 24-hour sunlight.
Still not sure you’ve got the best room?
