Sometimes, cruise ships are so luxurious and abundant in benefits that the crew might not be able to lay out all the options that are really available to you. That is why it's always a good idea to ask the stewards about it or do a little research on the cruise line and its amenities yourself. The following are ways on how to fully maximize your cabin cruise experience (and what you paid for).

There aren't enough outlets in cabins to accommodate the many electronic gadgets we bring all day. However, there may be outlets that are hidden from view behind the bed or TV. Try to inquire from the cabin steward if there are more of these secret outlets. If all else fails, make sure to bring your own power strip or charging station but check first if they are allowed inside the cabin.

If you feel that have too much belongings and the cabin lacks more storage, investigate the cabin a little more because cabin designers ensure to maximize the space inside the ship room. There might be a secret compartment behind the mirror, under the couch or under the bed.

Alternative bedding options might be available so it's a good idea to ask the cruise crew about it. Some might provide you with more comfortable sheets, pillows or egg crate mattress toppers.

If you love going to the spa, rejoice for spa cabins can prove to be the smarter choice in terms of budget. There are cabins that allow you to use the sauna, steam room and thalassotherapy pool for an additional fee. Availing of such amenities usually costs less than having to pay for the entrance to the spa.

Most cabins are composed of metal that presents a fun-filled opportunity to bring magnets and pin photos, memories and notes on the walls and doors.

It is said that no natural light can make its way to the inside of the cabins. Turn the television, while disabling the sound, to the bridge cam station in order to create a night light. In addition, it helps to remind you if the Sun is already up.
