Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm actually occupying this cabin as a solo passenger so the bed uh configuration might look a bit odd to you

I had a great night's sleep we have uh two units either side down here we have got two drawers and they are good sizes

nothing better than the sound of those ocean waves also I had my breakfast out here this morning

I completely lucked out with this cabin originally I had booked an Ocean View cabin uh for this two night repositioning cruise from Southampton to Liverpool it is not full at all since it is a repositioning Cruise so uh I was given a complimentary upgrade

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring an adapter for UK and European sockets.
Ask your cabin steward for ice to go with your daily carafe of water.
Use the laundry room on Deck 2 from 8am to 8pm for self-service.
