Creator's Key Takeaways

So we've been staying in an obstructed balcony cabin on Cunard Queen Victoria.

We've really really enjoyed it and we would book this this cabin again.

Booking an obstructed balcony, I would do it in a heartbeat again because we've saved a lot of money.

The shower is probably one of the smallest that we've had on a cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on Cunard for cabin stewards.
Speak to your cabin steward for extra tea and coffee if you drink a lot.
Book an obstructed balcony cabin to save money while still getting outside space.

Storage space in cabinStorage has been more than adequate for 11 nights; plenty of hanging space and drawers.
Shower sizeShower is small but fine for most; use the adjustable head and be aware of the curtain.

YouTube Video Description

Save money with this cruise hack - we booked an obstructed view balcony cabin for the same price as an outside cabin on Cunard Queen Victoria cruise ship. Here is our review and tour! We cruised on Cunard Queen Victoria cruise ship on the Atlantic Coast Adventure for 11 nights on the 5th December 2024. We cruised from Southampton to La Coruna, Gibraltar, Malaga, Cadiz, Lisbon and Vigo. We booked an Obstructed View Balcony Cabin and the cruise cost £1199 per person (£2398 for 2) and included $1180 onboard credit which was a promotion that we found when we cruised on Queen Anne. We booked when we were onboard Queen Anne, then transferred the cruise over to our travel agent Dan. It is always worth checking when cruising what the future prices are onboard as often they will have offers and deals. We saved money on our Obstructed View Balcony Cabinas at the time it was the same price as an Outside Cabin and the onboard credit covered all our drinks and spending money. This was a great value cruise! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌎 WEBSITE - Visit our website Paul and Carole Love to Travel - https://paulandcarolelovetotravel.com for more cruise and travel inspiration 🗺️✈️ 📧 NEWSLETTER - Sign up for our Newsletter here for all our news and group cruises information - https://paulandcarolelovetotravel.com/sign-up-for-our-newsletter/ 🌊 CRUISE BOOKING - Our recommended travel agent is Dan Hammond of GoCruise&Travel.
