Before finalizing your cruise reservation, it’s essential to determine which stateroom will be your ideal choice. Understanding the various types of staterooms will help you select the sleeping arrangements that provide the utmost comfort, tailored to your personal tastes and preferences. Your choice may also vary depending on whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, family, or a group of friends.

How can you choose the perfect stateroom for a soothing and enjoyable cruise experience? We’re here to guide you with these helpful tips.

Familiarize Yourself with Stateroom Options

On a Dinogo cruise, you can choose from a variety of stateroom options and locations, categorized as Interior, Ocean View, Balcony, or Suite.

• Interior staterooms: These are the most budget-friendly rooms on the cruise ship, perfect for light sleepers who appreciate a quieter environment away from the hustle and bustle. It’s an ideal retreat for winding down after a day of adventure.
• Ocean View staterooms: Designed to showcase breathtaking ocean vistas, these rooms are the perfect spot to enjoy the first glimpses of your ports of call.
• Balcony staterooms: Enjoy refreshing sea breezes and spectacular views from your private patio, complete with comfortable seating for all-day relaxation.
• Suite staterooms: The top-tier accommodations on a cruise ship, offering ample space and all the comforts of home, plus a few luxurious extras.
• Specialty staterooms: These uniquely themed rooms cater to families, couples, and more, and are available in interior, ocean view, balcony, or suite options.

For Solo Travelers

When you’re traveling alone, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace, with no one to consult about your itinerary. Consider a cruise to Belize, where you can visit the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins and indulge your passion for ancient history. You could also learn culinary skills onboard while making new friends. Plus, you’ll have the entire stateroom to yourself. Keep these tips in mind when reserving your own stateroom.

• Havana: If you’re a solo traveler looking for social opportunities, the Havana staterooms offer exclusive access to the vibrant Havana pool and bar area.
• Cloud 9 Spa: For a solo pampering experience, consider booking a Cloud 9 Spa stateroom, conveniently located next to the tranquil Cloud 9 Spa^™.
• Interior and Ocean View: Opt for an interior stateroom for maximum peace and quiet, or choose an ocean view room for serene vistas that enhance your reflective moments.
• Aft: Staying towards the aft of the ship places you close to casual dining options.
• Lower deck: The lower deck is ideal if you want to disembark quickly and be among the first to enjoy the attractions at each port of call.

For Couples on a Cruise

Couples who embark on cruises together strengthen their bond, especially when they select the ideal stateroom style. A romantic getaway allows you to sail to picturesque ports. What couple wouldn’t love a cruise to Mexico for a VIP Wine Tasting or to Aruba for an exciting Jeep Safari?

Onboard, savor a meal at a charming, floating Italian trattoria. Later, retreat to a magical stateroom exclusively for the two of you.

• Cloud 9 Spa: Escape to the serene Cloud 9 Spa, located near the specialty Cloud 9 Spa staterooms featuring soothing decor. Enjoy priority reservations at the spa and receive complimentary spa-themed gifts to enhance your cruise experience.
• Balcony: Designed with couples in mind, balcony staterooms offer you a private outdoor haven where you can enjoy sunset cocktails or morning coffee in your robes.
• Forward: If tranquility is what you seek, opt for a stateroom located in the forward section of the ship, conveniently near the fitness center, spa, and show lounge for entertainment.

For Families Cruising Together

Whether you’re a single parent or a duo with kids, you’ll find that your vacation is packed with more fun and bonding experiences than you ever imagined. Regardless of your children’s ages, there’s an abundance of onboard entertainment that allows your family to engage with beloved childhood characters and games.

Shore excursions with no age restrictions let you tailor experiences for the whole family, like cruising to Alaska for an exciting Dog Sled Discovery and Mushing Camp. After a day filled with adventure and family-friendly dining, return to a cozy stateroom that fits your family’s needs.

• Family Harbor: Family Harbor specialty staterooms feature playful nautical decor and grant exclusive access to the Family Harbor lounge, where you can enjoy breakfast, snacks, board games, family movies, video games, and more. Kids eat free at Family Harbor restaurants, and both kids and parents will appreciate one complimentary evening of Night Owls^® babysitting service at Camp Ocean^™.
• Family-Friendly: Tailored for families, these staterooms accommodate up to five guests and include an additional bathroom, making them perfect for groups thanks to connecting doors.
• Upper Deck: Opt for a stateroom on the upper deck of the ship, placing you nearest to entertainment, fun activities, and outdoor deck spaces.
• Midship: You’ll be conveniently located close to the pool or waterslide areas, which is every kid's dream.

For Group Cruises

Whether it's a reunion with old college friends, a ladies-only birthday celebration, or a getaway with golfing buddies, cruise ships offer the ideal setting for group vacations. With groups of 10 or 20, there’s an abundance of activities and sights to explore, catering to diverse ages, abilities, and interests.

Consider a cruise to Bermuda for an extended family reunion, where you can book a variety of shore excursions tailored to different interests—from the Famous Homes and Hideaway Cruise for architecture enthusiasts to Segway Adventures for teens and a Glass Bottom Boat tour for the little ones. Be sure to reserve staterooms well in advance for groups and request connecting rooms while exploring your stateroom options.

For those with health or mobility challenges, Dinogo warmly welcomes you aboard. You’ll find a variety of accessible staterooms to choose from, whether you’re traveling with a wheelchair, scooter, or other assistance devices. Opt for a midship location for easy access to additional elevators.

Each stateroom comes equipped with amenities that rival those found in five-star hotels on land, including your own dedicated room steward. Expect to find soft, comfortable linens, in-room safes, ample storage space, televisions, climate control, and bathrobes available upon request.

Keep in mind that certain staterooms and amenities may be exclusive to specific ships, so be sure to review the features available on the ship you select. You can rest easy knowing you’ve found the perfect place to unwind while cruising.

Note: Onboard activities, shore excursions, and dining options may differ by ship and destination.
