How to choose your cabin on Serenity Cruises
OVERVIEW
How to choose a cruise cabin that perfectly suits you seems to be most fun and challenging point in your checklist for preparation. Cabins fall into different types or “categories”. Before you get overwhelmed, it’s helpful to remember that there are only three types of cabins on any cruise vessel of Serenity Cruise Line.
- Junior Suite & Superior Suite: the smallest-sized cabin, covered one side completely in glass and featuring private balcony
- Terrace Moon Suite & Balcony Suite: cabins featuring a L-shaped veranda that allows you to step outside without going up to a public deck
- Family Suite: a larger cabin, featuring 3 single beds, located on the third deck, generously open to nature
Serenity Cruises line, with modern technique and innovative design, upgrade all cabins to suites. Especially, there’s no inside cabin (no window to the outside) like conventional cruises. Therefore, you don’t need to be worried about the openness to nature of any cabin. All cabins are connected to nature through large glass wall and private balcony.
What to consider when choosing your cruise cabin?
Distance
Some cruise travelers prefer their cabins to be near to (or far away from) specific areas of the ship. While sun-worshippers might prefer an upper-deck location close to the sundeck, partiers might want easy access to midship entertainment bar and restaurants.
Cabin Amenities
All cabins come with basic amenities, such as the services of a cabin steward to clean your room and turn down the beds, soap and shampoo in the bathroom, individual climate control, etc. However, certain categories of stateroom come with added perks. For instant, Moon suites come with a variety of extras and privileges, everything from red wine to fresh fruits & flowers everyday to free spa service.
Family Cabins
Since cruising has become a popular family vacation, more new ships have built “family accommodations” into the actual design. In Serenity Cruises, connecting cabin are available among Junior Suites (make sure you request in advance) if you travel by 4. Moreover, there is family suite where you can take advantages of bigger cabin with 3 single beds.
Solo Cabins
Very few ships actually have cabins dedicated to solo travelers. Instead, Serenity Cruises offer a discount for single booking of the whole cabin. That is to make sure private space for you during your stay with affordable price.
Cabin Pricing – Price Drops
Only you know your vacation budget, but figuring out the best way to spend it can be tricky. Cruise fares fluctuate like airfares; they can change daily. Generally speaking, you’ll find the lowest fares by booking early (three months or more prior to sailing) or booking late (one or two weeks before departure). Often, fares drop just after final payment is due (about two months before sailing). But waiting for a higher-category cabin to come down in price to fit into your travel budget is risky; if the cabin category is selling well, fares will just go up.
