I took a cruise on the last remaining ocean liner in the world and I stayed in the cheapest cabin on board the entire ship

I really didn't pay a lot for this Cruise though but more about that later

our first impressions of the cabin were very good it felt spacious and bright

I'm glad I picked the inside I really didn't need a balcony

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an inside cabin to save money if you don't need a balcony
Bring a daylight alarm clock for inside cabins to simulate sunrise
Request twin beds in advance if you prefer them over a double

YouTube Video Description

I booked the smallest, and cheapest cabin on the Queen Mary 2, the world's last ocean liner. What was it like and was it worth it? In this video, I'll show you everything! Interested in quirky cabins? Here's some more: This cabin faces INSIDE the ship: https://youtu.be/bSNLLGZgtpw?si=EzwaGOBUqNWKLMe6 This cabin faces backwards: https://youtu.be/ZxpdsnA80z4?si=5sSzxscMjBcTs2I7 This bathroom has a glass wall! https://youtu.be/EvhmoI-OJa8?si=aGuAgP3olYhaAgH- I took a cruise on the last remaining ocean liner in the world and I stayed in the cheapest cabin onboard the entire ship. It was less than half the size of the average hotel room in the US and it was located right in the middle of the ship with no daylight or access to the outside world. On the ship there were 286 inside cabins which meant that realistically there would be at least 600 people on this cruise alone cruising in inside cabins. Possibly a lot more. Inside cabins are a popular choice for many but cruise lines very rarely advertise them, they’d usually promote the suites or the balconies, you’ll never see the inside cabin on a Cunard advert and I wanted to find out why. I did wonder if I would miss the outside space, I wasn’t sure if this cruise would be different with it being an ocean liner instead of a cruise ship and I didn’t know how well a ship of this age would have been looked after. The cruise that I booked was only three nights long, so I decided it would be a great way to give it a go without spending too much time, or money, in case I didn’t like it. We didn’t have great weather on this cruise and I do get seasick, but that isn’t something I was thinking about when I booked, I just wanted to get onboard. I hoped that the lack of daylight wouldn’t be a problem and that it wouldn’t feel claustrophobic especially since I would be sharing this cabin with my brother. I didn’t pay a lot for this cruise though really, but more about that later. I knew that the ship was built in 2002 but I hoped that the cabins and the ship had been refurbished since then. These photos on Cunards website did look very luxurious, apart from this one that made it look like the cabin was sliding down a hill, I did hope that the cabin would be flat at least. On a cruise you can either pay a cruise fare where you pick where your cabin will be, or you can save a bit of money and let the cruise line decide where it is. I decided to save the money, after all we were only on for three days and I figured it couldn’t be ‘that bad’ which always seems to be famous last words. ▶ FREE COURSE.
