"They," the public address system on the ship, and notices in the restrooms will remind passengers over and over to wash their hands to avoid spreading disease. Good warning to heed.
I also avoid booking an inside room but find ocean view rooms just fine. My husband is one of those who says "you don't spend much time in the room, so what does it matter?" It matters. It's nice to be able to see out. And I imagine if you asked those on board the "Diamond Princess" quarantined in their inside cabins right now, they would say it matters a whole lot.
Generally, cabins on lower decks and in the middle of the ship are more stable in a seaway, if you are at all prone to seasickness.
Be choosy in booking expeditions off the ship. These costs can quickly add up.
Enjoy the food, the service, and your fellow passengers. No cooking or cleaning for a whole week!
