I recently got an email with the following question: "I don't know anybody there and coming on my own, should I book a cabin? Or is it just "normal" to share a cabin (booking a bunk)? It just feels a little strange to share a cabin with someone you do not know at all... Can you tell a little bit of how this works out?"

Actually we try to separate the snoring ones from the non-snorers in the first place. Also we try to have ladys-only-cabins. But we cannot garantee this. There are two types of cabins with double beds and with bunk beds. If we will have a mixed cabin, we would try to get you in a bunk bed cabin.

Anyway I would not worry too much. It is "sailing" and sharing a cabin just goes with it. Be aware that you are not the only one with a cabin partner you do not know, your cabin partner will be in the very same situation ;-). And as everybody is aware of this, respect and kindness are the top qualities everybody has to practice on board. No way around this. That is sailing :-).

Of course you can book yourself a cabin on your own, too. This way you have more space and more privacy if you want it and need it. This is why we offer this possibility.

Finally: if you do not like surprises then go ahead and bring a cabin partner with you!

Please leave your sailing experiences (as advice for newcomers) and further questions here as comment!
