Creator's Key Takeaways

But surprise, it's bigger than it seems.

The balcony curtain has both a blackout layer and a mesh layer. It's a nice touch.

This is one of my favorite cruise hacks.

With the right hacks, organizational tools, and realistic expectations, even a small cabin can become a comfortable home base for epic adventures.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use magnetic hooks plus hanging toiletry bag for instant storage in the bathroom.
Bring an outlet extender with a 6 ft cable to charge multiple devices simultaneously.
Bring 12 cans of non-alcoholic beverages aboard on embarkation day and replenish at ports.
Check pool and hot tub cams before heading out to see how crowded it is.
Use a dry erase board and magnetic poetry tiles to leave messages for fellow cruisers.

Obstructed balcony view due to lifeboatsYou hardly notice it while lounging; the space feels like a personal hideaway.
