Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just disembarked a cruise where I stayed in the cabin that had a feature that I didn't know existed on board cruise ships it certainly was a weird one

the description of the cabin said private bathroom but that wasn't exactly the case

I did actually find the code and a little bit annoying as the cruise went on but it wasn't when I was showering that it was a problem

I'm still glad that I did upgrade I upgraded my cabin using the refund money I got from a recent Cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a guaranteed cabin to save money, but be aware you might get a weird feature
Use your phone light at night to avoid bright bathroom light disturbing sleep
If sharing a cabin, trust your roommate due to the curtain placement

YouTube Video Description

I’ve just disembarked a cruise where I stayed in a cabin that had a feature I never knew existed onboard cruise ships. It certainly was a weird one and I spent most of the week trying to work out why the cruise line made this decision. Normally when you look at cruise ship cabins they are pretty similar across all the cruise lines and all the ships, they’re usually made in the same factories and theres not really all that much variety that can happen in a space that usually around 9 foot wide. They will change the funishings of course but they still have to fit in a bathroom, a bed and some storage and that’s usually most of the space. The ship that I booked this cruise on was the Costa Smeralda which is a relatively new cruise ship built in 2019. I decided to treat myself and booked a balcony cabin and I’m glad I did because thats where I found the bizarre feature. The description for the cabin said ‘Private Bathroom’ but that wasn’t exactly the case. I booked what is called a guaranteed balcony cabin which meant that I didn’t pick the specific location of the cabin. Usually this means that you get the left over cabins that others didn’t pick but it is cheaper and I’ve never regretted the choice to do that before. I’ve had cabins right at the back of the ship, right at the front, underneath nightclubs, you name it. On this cruise though I was surprised by my cabin location. ▶ Stay up to date: http://EmmaCruises.com/News ▶ Let's get you on a cruise!: https://EmmaCruises.com/Book-a-Cruise/ *** ▶ Background World Map (Use Code EMMACRUISES For a Discount): https://enjoythewood.com/emmacruises ▶ Daylight Lamp: https://emmacruises.com/lamp ▶ Don't make the WORST CRUISE MISTAKE: https://emmacruises.com/cruise-travel-insurance-why-you-need-it-and-how-to-get-it-step-by-step-guide/ 🥳🥳 emma@emmacruises.com Join this channel to get access to exclusive perks like a weekly podcast and early ad free access to videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu4C8c3h9SKdkxnOwIAiHeA/join
