7 Days In a Controversial Cabin That Faces INSIDE THE SHIP
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents a seven day stay in a neighborhood balcony cabin aboard Symphony of the Seas. Unlike traditional balcony rooms that face the ocean, this cabin overlooks the ship's boardwalk area. The creator explains that they chose this option to save money compared to an ocean view room. While the cabin felt spacious and included a comfortable sofa and bed, the lack of privacy was a significant factor, as occupants in opposite cabins could see directly into the room. The location provided unique entertainment, such as watching zip liners and aqua theater shows, but also introduced noise from late night parties, silent discos, and performers practicing. Additionally, being located behind the ship's funnel resulted in soot accumulating on the balcony railings and floor. Despite these drawbacks, the creator concludes that the cabin was a worthwhile compromise between an inside cabin and a standard balcony, especially given the intense heat during the cruise which made the shaded balcony a relief.
