Creator's Key Takeaways

this is Category 6 cabin so it's the cheapest way onto raw Clipper and this is our small space which has been very challenging

I've hit my head on that lamp probably about 20 times and I've hit my head on a several times

would we stay in this cabin again and I can quite Caris say no I wouldn't

we've had a great week in that it's Pitch Black in here in the inside cabin that's another thing to mention so you don't get any natural lights so that's been a plus

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring your own toiletries as the provided products are minimal.
โœ“If you can afford more, pay for a higher category cabin for more space.
โœ“For solo travelers or two very small people, this cabin could be fine.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We spent a week staying in the cheapest and smallest cabin on our Star Clippers cruise ship Royal Clipper. There are 8 types of cruise ship cabins available and due to our budget we picked the cheapest which is a category 6 cabin. In this video, we take you on an in-depth tour of category 6 inside cabin 228 and discuss our experience and pro's and con's. We also discuss other cabin options available to book on Royal Clipper, including outside cabins with port holes, cabins with balcony, deluxe suites and also owners suite. In this video we let you know if booking this cabin to save money was a mistake? Would you have been happy in this cabin? Let us know in the comments? Also watch our vlog series too here - https://youtu.be/-O68ft9_NTE?si=5pa8VlDSzecNyrVX where we cruised the Amalfi coast and Sicily from Civitavecchia near Rome, to the Pontine Islands, Ponza and Palmorola, Sorrento, Amalfi, Naxos (for Taormina), Lipari, and Gaeta before heading back to Civitavecchia. We sailed on Royal Clipper in July 2024. We paid ยฃ2350 each for 7 nights in a Category 6 cabin which also included flights from Heathrow to Rome. All food and accommodation was included, but drinks were not. ๐ŸŒŠ We booked it through our preferred travel agent Dan Hammond of GoCruise&Travel.
