4 Days in a Cabin With a Bizarre Layout and "BAD" Location

I’m currently on a cruise, and I’m staying in a cabin that has a layout that I didn’t know existed onboard cruise ships. Many people would say that this room has one of the worst locations on the ship, and we’ve had a couple of problems with this cabin which I never expected, caused in part by the fact that are on an all-inclusive weekend cruise. Here's where you can check out the Marella itineraries: https://tui-uk.7cnq.net/3reDX - affiliate link (this should work for people outside the UK now, or so I've been told)! Normally when you look at balcony cabins on cruise ships they all look pretty similar, they might have the sofa in a different position or the balcony might be a different size but it's normally a bathroom, a bed and a desk area. Our cabin isn’t like that. When I booked this cruise I decided to book what is called an aft balcony cabin, which means that it faces behind the cruise ship. I’d never had one of these before and although I’d read reviews about these kinds of cabins being noisy and shaking when the ships docked I really didn’t think much of it. I’ve never had a real problem with noise on a cruise before and I was excited to see the views from the back of the ship. I took this cruise with a friend who last cruised way back in 2008 so I hoped that my choice of cabin wouldn’t cause us any issues. I really wanted this cruise to be good, not just for me but for my friend too. I booked cabin 8236 right in the middle of deck 8. This was the only aft cabin available at the time and I paid £59 to be able to pick this room. I usually let the cruise line pick and save the cash but I really wanted to test this one out, I love a quirky cabin and the online reviews had got me interested. The mistake I made here was that I didn’t look above or below my cabin to see what was around it, if I did I probably would have chosen another cabin. Enjoyed this?
