Creator's Key Takeaways

we wouldn't just a few too many drawbacks for us but that's not to say we didn't enjoy the evening

I absolutely would recommend it if you're looking for something very different to do

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book in advance for the Harbor Hotel breakfast
βœ“Use the residential block showers instead of the boat's shower
βœ“Be aware of limited storage space for luggage

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

claustrophobia β€” The Lifeboat is more spacious than it looks, like a Tardis
stability β€” There is a slight roll, but it's gentle and not vomit-inducing
toileting facilities β€” Use the residential block facilities, which are nicer and only a few minutes walk

Questions This Creator Answers

QIs it claustrophobic?
QIs it stable?
QCan you use the toilet and shower?
QWill you get a good night's sleep?

You like unique accommodation? Look no further! We stayed on a lifeboat for a night in Ocean Village, Southampton, U.K.! This is a reconditioned RNLI Rig Lifeboat used on an actual North Sea rig! How cool is that?! It’s moored here in Southampton opposite the 5 star Harbour Hotel and Spa. The big questions you probably have are 1) is it claustrophobic 2) is it stable 3) can you wee wee and poo poo 4) is there a shower 5) will you get a good night’s sleep 6) what’s the location like 7) is there parking 8) are there restaurants and bars nearby 9) is it near the cruise terminals 10) is there any storage space? Well, I’m going to answer all of these questions and more, plus we check out dinner, drinks and breakfast at the Harbour Hotel too. So, strap in and let’s get to the rescue!
