How to Choose the Right Stateroom on a Cruise Ship
One of the most common questions travelers ask when planning a cruise is: “What stateroom should I choose?” With options ranging from cozy inside cabins to spacious suites with private verandas, selecting the right room can make a big difference in your overall cruise experience.
The good news is that there’s no single “best” stateroom — the right choice depends on your travel style, budget, and how you plan to spend your time onboard. Tyler Braun’s People Mover Travel team helps clients navigate these options every day, ensuring you choose a cabin that fits your needs perfectly.
Here’s what you should know when selecting the right stateroom for your next cruise.
The Tropicana Inn & Suites Anaheim – A DLR Good Neighbor Gem!
When I signed up to run the 2026 runDisney Disneyland Half Marathon, I knew I wanted to bring my family with me to stay near the action, both for the race and some fun in the Disneyland Resort theme parks. Since runDisney gets their athletes up EARLY to run, I wanted to be close to the start line, in a safe area, at a property with great family amenities, and of course, close to the parks. As a travel agent, I’ve toured, stayed in, and heard about so many great Disneyland Good Neighbor hotels, but had yet to enjoy the Tropicana Inn & Suites for myself. And boy, do I wish I had stayed there sooner!

Disney's Pop Century Resort - Disney’s BEST Value Resort!
We’ve been staying in Walt Disney World resorts for well over 15 years. In that time frame, we’ve stayed at every single resort on property at least once. But there’s one we keep returning to again and again - Disney’s Pop Century Resort!

When planning a Disney World vacation, choosing the right resort can make all the difference. Among Disney's Value Resorts, Pop Century stands out as our favorite for numerous compelling reasons. While the All-Star Resorts are often less expensive, Pop Century still has our vote as the best option for a Value Resort. Yes, I love the rooms, but most particularly due to the transportation option of the Skyliner, I consider Pop Century to the be the best “bang for your buck” Value Resort.
