Well, let me tell ya, those fancy boat rooms, they call ’em “cabins,” ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Some are just plain bad, and you gotta know which ones to steer clear of, ya hear?
First off, you gotta watch out for them noisy cabins. See, some cabins are right smack dab near the engine room or the elevators or some other noisy stuff. You don’t wanna be hearin’ all that racket all night long, right? It’s like tryin’ to sleep next to a dang tractor! I heard tell some folks in cabins near the back of the boat, near them propellers, they say it’s like a constant buzzin’ and vibratin’. No good for sleepin’, I tell ya. So, if you want some peace and quiet, stay away from those spots.
- Noisy spots to avoid: Near the engine room, near the elevators, at the back of the boat near the propellers.
Then there’s them cabins with the itty-bitty balconies. Now, some folks like a balcony, but if it’s so small you can barely fit a chair on it, what’s the point? I seen pictures of one cabin, number 8108 they say, where the balcony is just a tiny sliver. You can’t even stretch your legs out! And them cabins way up high, they say the wind can be somethin’ fierce up there. Blows your hair all over the place, makes it hard to enjoy your coffee. So, if you want a decent balcony, make sure it’s big enough to actually use, and maybe don’t go so high up.
Another thing to watch out for is them cabins that are too far from everything. These boats are big, real big. And if you’re stuck way at the end of some long hallway, it’s gonna take you forever to get anywhere. You gotta walk a mile just to get a cup of coffee or go to the buffet. And if you got bad knees or somethin’, that ain’t gonna be fun. Try to get a cabin that’s kinda in the middle of things, so you ain’t walkin’ all day long.
Now, I also heard tell about some cabins that are right under the pool deck or the dance floor. Can you imagine that? All day long, you got people stompin’ around over your head. And at night, it’s thump-thump-thump with the music. You ain’t gonna get a wink of sleep in them cabins. So, unless you like bein’ kept up all night, stay away from those.
And don’t forget about them cabins that are too close to the crew areas. Them crew folks work hard, I know they do. But they’re also up and about early in the mornin’, makin’ noise and clangin’ stuff around. You don’t wanna be woken up at the crack of dawn by all that commotion. Try to get a cabin that’s away from all the crew stuff.
They say they’re fixin’ up some of these old boats, makin’ ’em all fancy and new. But you still gotta be careful. Just cause they put in new carpets and curtains don’t mean they fixed all the problems. You gotta do your homework, read them reviews, see what other folks are sayin’. Don’t just book the first cabin you see, or you might end up stuck in a real stinker.
Celebrity Constellation, that’s the boat they’re talkin’ about. They say it’s a big boat, got lots of rooms. But like I said, some of them rooms ain’t worth a hill of beans. And they charge a pretty penny for these rooms, too. So, you wanna make sure you’re gettin’ your money’s worth. Don’t just fall for them fancy pictures they show you. Do your research, and you’ll be alright.
Food’s important too, ya know. If the food ain’t good, what’s the point? I hear tell that good food is why folks come back to these boats. So make sure the boat you pick has got good grub. Ain’t nothin’ worse than bein’ stuck on a boat with bad food. And them crew folks, they work hard, seven days a week sometimes. But they say most of ’em stick around for a good long while, five to seven years even. So, they must be doin’ somethin’ right, I reckon.
Anyways, just remember to do your homework. Read them reviews, ask around. And don’t be afraid to ask for a different cabin if you don’t like the one they give ya. You’re payin’ good money, you deserve to be comfortable. Don’t let them stick you in some noisy, cramped-up cabin. You wanna enjoy your vacation, not be miserable the whole time. And that’s all I gotta say about that.
