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

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents a four day all inclusive cruise aboard the Murella Explorer 2, specifically focusing on the experience of staying in an aft balcony cabin. This specific room layout features a fixed double bed and a unique configuration that the creator notes is different from standard balcony cabins. While the cabin offers significant storage and impressive views from the back of the ship, the location presents several challenges. The room is situated directly above a smoking area and a popular bar, resulting in loud music and karaoke that continues late into the night. Additionally, the creator experiences issues with extreme heat due to malfunctioning air conditioning, though this is resolved quickly by the crew after being reported. The creator also notes that aft cabins can experience vibrations and shaking during docking or sailing. Despite the noise and the age of the ship, the creator concludes that the cabin layout provided a sense of privacy between friends and that the overall value was good given the all inclusive nature of the trip.
