Editorial Summary

The creator documents a seven day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas, specifically testing a virtual inside cabin. These unique rooms feature a massive floor to ceiling television screen that displays a live feed of the ocean to simulate the experience of a balcony cabin. The creator explores the layout of the room, noting its spaciousness and the inclusion of an interconnecting door to an accessible cabin. While some passengers report feeling seasick from the screen, the creator finds the visual helpful for tracking the time of day and weather. The video details the practical aspects of the stay, including the cleanliness of the room, the functionality of the bathroom, and the storage available. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the virtual screen is a significant improvement over traditional dark inside cabins because it allows for a more natural transition from sleep to wakefulness, even if it cannot fully replace the experience of a real balcony.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I was cruising with family so I figured I wouldn't be spending a lot of time in my cabin anyway but we were cruising to Norway

I walked into this cabin I said wow and I actually said the word wow

the internet on this Cruise was actually the fastest I've ever had at Sea which I didn't expect

I much prefer this cabin to a normal completely dark inside
