Tourists planning to book a have been offered two tips that can help them , offering plenty of space and as little movement as possible.
With the being bigger than ever, tourists could find themselves with more than 2,000 different cabins to choose from.
To help tourists decide, blogger Gene Sloan, better known to fans as , recommended that passengers looking for plenty of room and great views at the front of the ship.
He advised: “Many cruisers just love forward-facing cabins. They love them because the view can be spectacular, particularly as you arrive at a new port. Also, some people love the idea of being at the very front of a ship and being able to see where they are going.
“Forward-facing cabins also sometimes come with extra space. This is because they incorporate the oddly angled interior spaces that exist at the front of a ship, which can be slanted.”

Whilst the vast majority of cabins on board a cruise are located at either side of the vessel, many of the latest ships also feature rooms at the front.
These cabins give guests a unique view of each location, letting them watch as the ship sails into a new port every morning and, due to the shape of the ship, can also give them a unique layout and additional room.
Nevertheless, these rooms are typically harder to come by and fairly desirable, meaning passengers may be forced to pay premium to book one.

Alternatively, Gene suggested that passengers who are concerned that they may feel seasick on board should try to book a cabin in the middle of the ship.
He continued: “The big allure of a midship cabin is its stability. You won’t feel the rocking of the sea in a midship cabin nearly as much as you will in a cabin toward the front or back of a vessel. This is because ships are like teeter-totters [see-saws]. They pitch forward and back around a central axis that barely moves.
“If you are in the centre of a ship, you are at the equivalent of the centre of a teeter-totter. Even in very rough seas, you’re not going to move nearly as much when the ship goes up and down in the waves as someone located at either of the far ends of the ship.”
Whilst modern cruise ships are fitted with particularly effective stabilisers to prevent excessive motion under normal conditions, passengers who are worried that they may feel seasick once on board should book a mid-ship cabin.
If possible, this should be on the lowest possible deck, which can also reduce the amount of movement passengers will feel, and choose a cabin with a window or balcony.
Lower deck rooms can also be much quieter than alternatives higher up, being located far away from the busiest public spaces on board, such as the swimming pools and buffet.
