Creator's Key Takeaways

I've spent the last seven days sharing one with my mom to find out if this type of cabin is a good compromise or if there's a good reason why most modern cruise ships are fast abandoning this cabin type.

When we first entered the cabin, I was really impressed. The cabin felt so big, but I do think that that is something to do with the fact that we have twin beds instead of a double.

The air conditioning did turn out to be okay. I would say it wasn't fantastic. It wasn't as cold as the rest of the ship, that's for sure. But, it also wasn't too bad. It was just okay.

I love it. The mirror here made the room feel so much bigger and it was great for checking out our outfits before we went out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a cabin with cabins above and below it for a quieter experience.
Equally split storage space to avoid arguments with cabin mates.
Use the cruise card for onboard purchases and keep it handy.

YouTube Video Description

I’m currently on a cruise and I’m staying in a cabin type that is rarely talked about. When cruise lines advertise their cruises, they’ll usually show off the biggest and best balcony cabins. They might quickly say somewhere that there are cheap inside cabins for anyone on a tight budget… but there is a third type of cabin that hardly ever gets a mention. Want to cruise on this ship? Check out Marellas website here: https://tui-uk.7cnq.net/DymY7a (affiliate) 🥳🥳 I’ve spent the last 7 days sharing one with my Mum to find out if this type of cabin is a good compromise or if there is a good reason why most modern cruise ships are fast abandoning this cabin type. The ship that I’m on Marella Voyager was built in the 1990s as Celebrity Mercury and back then oceanview cabins with just a window were very popular. I was prepared for the cabin to be outdated given the age but I did hope that it wouldn’t be dirty and that we wouldn’t be constantly getting in each others way. I knew that the cabin wouldn’t be very big and that its essentially a big metal box. I didn’t know if the cabin would be noisy and I was hopeful that we wouldn’t feel the motion of the ocean too much in the room. A week is a long time to have regrets and as I’d picked and paid for this cruise for the two of us at a cost over £3000, the pressure was on. ▶ FREE COURSE.
