YouTube Video Description

Can an older cruise ship still deliver a great suite experience? In this video, we tour Suite 1217 aboard the MSC Armonia — one of the oldest ships we’ve ever sailed on. While the MSC Armonia may not have the flashy neighborhoods and giant attractions of newer mega ships, this suite surprised us in several ways. From the floor-to-ceiling windows and large living area to the impressive storage space, espresso machine, and classic cruise ship design, we take you through everything you need to know about this MSC suite cabin. But there are also tradeoffs… including limited bedside power outlets, older ship layouts, and some design quirks that definitely remind you this ship dates back to the early 2000s. In this full room tour we cover: • Living area and pull-out sofa • Bedroom and bed comfort • Storage space • Mini bar and amenities • Vanity and electrical outlets • Bathroom layout • Balcony and views • What we liked • What felt dated If you’re considering sailing on MSC Armonia, especially in a suite cabin, this tour should help you decide if this older ship still delivers a worthwhile experience. We’re Jan and Tracey Travels, and until the next horizon…Keep on Traveling. #MSCArmonia #MSCCruises #CruiseSuite #janandtraceytravels Our Recommended Cruise Gear OREI American to European Plug Adapters—Many cruise ships are equipped with 220 European plugs, which are useless unless you have the correct adapter. These are the essentials we pack in our bags every time we cruise or travel to Europe. They come in an affordable six-pack which you can find at this link: https://amzn.to/44ixS0U Strongman Tools Strong Magnetic Hooks—A couple of these 6-pack sets of hooks are always with us when we cruise. Each individual hook can hold up to 30 lbs of weight and is ideal for hanging coats, hats, and the shelves described below. Get your set of these useful magnetic hooks at this link: https://amzn.to/3UDrVbJ Whitmor 5 Section Closet Organizer—Unfortunately, drawer and shelf space are sometimes limited in some cruise cabins. That’s why we always bring at least one of these inexpensive closet organizers, which gives us plenty of room for our folded clothes. We typically use a couple of magnetic hooks, as described above, to hang these from the ceiling in the corner of our room.
