10 Worst Cruise Cabins on a Ship ~ How to Avoid Bad Staterooms
There are 10 cabins on a cruise you might want to stay away from. We are going through the 10 worst cabins on a cruise ship.
To read more on why you should avoid these cabins check out our post here:
If you’re living on a cruise ship for a few days you’re already doing pretty good in life, but not all staterooms are created equal.
Before you book your cruise, make sure you know what kind of stateroom you’re getting. We recommend you stay away from these 10 cabins on a cruise ship.
Related: How to make the most of interior cabins on a cruise:
1.Cabins directly above or below clubs and lounges. Unless you plan on heading to your cabin after 1 a.m. each night for sleep, you should try to avoid cabins that are directly over or below the ship’s clubs and bars. The bass of the subwoofers in the clubs can easily be heard in these staterooms.
2. Cabins above the theater. Unfortunately, the cabin walls on cruise ships are not sound proof. While they do block a fair amount of noise, you will still be able to hear music in the staterooms directly above the theater. If shows are over by 11pm this may not be much of an issue.
3. Cabins directly below the pool deck. Each morning, staff members will begin to rearrange and organize the pool deck loungers getting the lido deck ready for the day. While some crew members will lift and move the loungers, many will drag them across the lido deck floor waking up passengers who are sleeping directly below.

4. Obstructed view cabins. Not everyone loves the idea of having a bright orange lifeboat as their view outside their ocean view cabin. While I still think that’s better than having no view at all, it’s something to keep in mind when booking a stateroom.
5. Adjoining Cabins. Adjoining cabins are great for larger families as many staterooms only hold a maximum of 4-5 passengers. However, due to the extra door between the cabins, you can often hear conversations from louder neighbors in the adjoining cabin next to you. The door is not as soundproof as the walls.
6. Cabins with little privacy. Remember that some balcony cabins face inward and so will have views of a promenade or passengers right across the way. While curtains are there for a reason, there’s little point in having a balcony if you don’t use it. Just remember that privacy will not be a premium in these cabins.
7. Balcony cabins directly below public areas. On some ships there are balconies that are perfectly visible from the pool deck or other public areas as they jut out from the ship slightly. So, if you are enjoying your balcony on a beautiful day you may turn around and look up to see another passenger. This can be an awkward moment. This goes along with the lack of privacy, but not everyone may mind this.
8. Cabins prone to motion. I personally don’t mind cabins in the very front or back of the ship, (in fact I prefer that wonderful aft view) but for those who are worried about motion sickness, you might want to choose a cabin somewhere in the middle, where a rocking ship isn’t as noticeable.
9. Cabins near the anchor. Early birds won’t be affected by this one, but for those who want to sleep-in, steer clear of cabins near the anchor. You will hear quite the clanging noise when the ship is dropping anchor at port.
10. Cabins on the lower decks. Yes, these cabins are often the cheapest on the ship, but they more affordable for a reason. Cabins on deck 1 or 2 are further away from all the activities on the ship and elevators are often crowded. On the plus side, you will save money and can get a great work out if you plan on taking the stairs.
Hope this list helps you plan your next cruise cabin location. Be sure to study those deck plans before reserving your stateroom.

Interesting Architecture -- Paris, France (17th Arrondissement)
copyright 2011 Lisa B. Falour, B.S., M.B.A. all rights reserved LISA, INC. (EURL) cutecatfaith.com
Check out that street full of mansions! We checked the Internet when we got home and these are very famous buildings. Most were city single-family homes. Hôtel Particulier is French for mansion.
Few people visit the 17th arrondissement, which is a shame. When you get near the outer city limits of Paris, things tend to get VERY interesting. Everyone who visits tends to stay in the center. Many of the near-suburbs which have borders contiguous with Paris are terrific, and there are métros, buses, tramways and rentabikes to get you there and back. These can be the smartest places to stay -- way cheaper, more authentic, and perfectly connected to the city itself by a very good public transportation system.
I met an Australian lawyer here on business, and he always stays in a hotel at the métro stop MAIRIE DE CLICHY. He just takes the métro to his appointments from there, loves the prices and the shops and services -- way affordable by Paris standards. I recommend the hotel F1 on Avenue Lenine in Saint-Denis, but beware, it's only 39 euros per night, this is where smart budget travelers stay, and it's often fully booked. There's a full range of shops and services nearby, quite a bit of free legal parking, many ways to get into Paris for the price of a ticket, lots of local sites of interest, and so on. If you stay there, try to get a room overlooking the cemetery, however. Avenue Lenine is noisy.
Sunday is down-time in France. Everyone recharges their batteries. Most of Paris shuts down on Sundays but the city has many museums it runs which are free to the public, for your after-lunch culture fix. Sunday lunch in France is long, pastry is eaten, and everyone talks and unwinds. Try to get invited to someone's home -- always bring flowers. Never bring wine! The etiquette here is complex!
Square de Batignolles -- Paris, France
I hope I have the name correct -- that's what I call this place. It's in the 17th arondissement, and the neighborhood is known as Batignolles. The Olympic Village would have been based here had we won instead of London this year, so a huge amount of change and construction began and some is still ongoing, such as covering the railroad tracks, which run to and from the Saint-Lazare station. If they do do that, I'll kind of miss the open tracks. I suppose they're a little noisy and some might say they're an eyesore, but I like them -- they're dramatic, and there's plenty of open sky around here. I find it all very pleasing somehow. On either side and throughout this area, there are enormous old apartment buildings, many from the 1880s. I have no idea what any of them are like inside, but the windows are large, some have skylights, there are balconies, very pretty decorative motifs, and some of the apartments have these covered balconies which look great and must have been little solariums or orangéries -- and they're still nice features. We just saw the 1939 movie LE BETE HUMAIN, based on a book by Zola, starring Jean Gabin and Simone Simon, and it's a gritty tale of railway workers -- the Gabin character is from Batignolles.
This area may have become rather grungy and utilitarian in the past -- I don't know -- but over the past couple of decades, it's certainly quite a nice area, and we never see tourists here, which is a shame, as this is in Paris proper and there are plenty of public transportation options to get here and enjoy some Parisian authenticity. There's a very pretty little park with a pond, water fowl, giant carp, lovely flora, a calm family atmosphere, and at least one very good, large sculpture (the one in the pond is of some buzzards, and that may sound strange, but it's really fantastic!).
Many hotels, large and small, are already here, and more are being built. I spotted a new, very innovative-looking apartment building with solar panels, and though much of Paris is closed on Sundays (except for, um, well, tourist traps, essentially), this nabe has some shops open and some restaurants which look quite good -- and not too expensive. It's calm, authentic, and ... romantic, really. We'd live here! (I doubt we could AFFORD that, but in theory, we would.)
Sundays are special in France, and Paris is no exception. Nobody does Church like the French! I always say, so do try to get to a Mass on Sunday morning if you can -- they are usually at 10 am here. Sunday lunches are long get-togethers with family and friends, so if you're visiting, you might feel a bit lonely (if you hire me, I can take you to Mass at the Basilica, shopping in Le Marché de Saint-Denis, and give you lunch in my home -- no promises, but it's theoretically possible). By all means, try to connect with a local and try to get invited! Take fresh flowers -- nothing else -- French etiquette. If you're here as a tourist, do your shopping on Saturday. You could do a picnic on Sunday with the stuff you bought! Bread, cheese, wine, mustard, mineral water, fruit, chocolate, sausage -- don't forget the corkscrew! After lunch, which can easily take two or three hours at home, people either take a siesta (there's usually alcohol and of course, fine pastry for dessert, several courses and all the fat, calories and naughty stuff you could imagine, usually) or go for a stroll. Plenty of parks and green spaces to choose from. If the weather's bad, remember, the City of Paris has many museums all over and they're seldom crowded and are always free! I can guide you. Either personally, or prepare a customized itinerary for you. Yes, I do charge, but so far, no complaints.
Sunday dinners are light, and people usually go to bed early, as despite what you might think, the work ethic is strong here, and Monday must be faced.

A video where I took a stroll up Sukhumvit Soi 11, Bangkok. I point out many bars, hotels, nightclubs etc... I've included some old footage to draw comparisons in some sections.
Soi 11 was always my favourite place to stay in Bangkok when I used to visit on holiday because it is 10 minutes walk (or a short taxi ride) to both Nana and Cowboy, and the better clubs were on your doorstep.

Additional notes:
A lot has changed in Bangkok since the summer of 2016. All over the city street food carts and restaurants are being driven out in a move to make the elite more money. On soi 11 many of the street food carts have been replaced by permanently parked vans and taxis.
Condominiums in Bangkok are being built at breakneck speed, especially around the Skytrain and MRT stations. There is a land grab too, where older buildings are being bought up, demolished, and held for future condominiums to be built. At some stations such as On Nut and Udom Suk they have overbuilt condos so much that the local infrastructure can't cope at rush hours.
Due to this overbuilding there is almost no resale market in Bangkok for these condos, as prospective buyers simply buy the new units. Bangkok condos are often not the best long term investments, as many suffer ongoing problems by being poorly designed, poorly built, and have bad property management agencies. The oversupply means that selling for a profit is very hard to achieve.
Cheap Charlie's is gone as was the nice row of restaurants in the alley behind.
Bangkok is fast losing it's rugged character and charm. It's conceivable in the future bar areas like Soi Cowb0y, Soi Nana and other nearby tourist places will be put under pressure with sky high rents and the land grabbing condo developers might swoop in one day. Soi 11 might be all condos and hotels one day too, as who wants noisy nightclubs and bars on their doorstep?
Soi 11 and pretty much anywhere in Bangkok potentially can have nearby construction noise. I would advise anyone to check the latest Tripadvisor Hotel reviews to see if noise is a persistent problem where you are staying. When checking in to your hotel if there is nearby construction simply request a quiet room away from the noise to minimise potential disturbance.
Insanity Club, a lot of investment has been made here. They are trying to recreate the premium club experience of Vegas or Ibiza by getting international DJs in etc... Whether it will work or not in the long term is anyone's guess. The EDM music they play is very loud inside. It seems busy right now as Soi 11 is gridlocked every night from midnight to 3am around that corner. No flip flops allowed for guys.
Fraser Suites. If you're visiting Bangkok in Sept/Oct/Nov 2017 then right now you can get rooms for around $76 a night which is great value as they usually start from $115.
