When it comes to attempting to sleep in economy, window seats reign supreme, with bonus points for being as far away from the galleys and lavatories as possible.
I've sailed on two all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise ships. These are the 3 reasons I think they're worth the cost.

Luxury cruises can be more than quadruple the cost of an average ship. But before you click away, hear me out — the higher-end vessels are worth the splurge.
The world's largest and most popular ships are beloved for their exciting, family-friendly amenities. But if you'd rather trade the VR arcades for complimentary cocktails and rock climbing walls for some time in the sauna, luxury cruises could be a great option — especially if you prioritize convenience over cash.
I attended complimentary, non-revenue sailings on ultra-luxury cruise lines Regent Seven Seas and Silversea's latest ships, Seven Seas Grandeur and Silver Ray. The latter and more expensive of the two starts at a cool $400 per person and day for a weeklong cruise in 2025.
Not cheap, compared to Carnival's equally new Firenze ship, which starts for as little as $82 per guest and day next year.
But you get what you pay for. And in the case of the cruise industry, money does, in fact, buy happiness.
