Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just disembarked a cruise where 51 of the cabins didn't have a balcony and 39 didn't even have a window

I paid 76 dollars per night for this Cruise which I think is a fantastic price

the cabin that I was given definitely would have been considered one of the worst locations by a lot of people

music does not stop me sleeping thankfully so I have no idea when it ended

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a small lamp to simulate sunrise for inside cabins
βœ“Don't pick a specific cabin position to save money, even if it means a worse location
βœ“Use a soda package if tap water tastes bad in the bathroom

Waking up completely in the dark in an inside cabin β€” Bring a small lamp that simulates sunrise

If you were looking to book a cruise and you read cabin reviews like this, this and this, would you book it? I did. If you imagine somebody taking a cruise you probably picture them cruising in a cabin that looks something like this but I’ve just disembarked a cruise ship where 51% of the cabins didn’t have a balcony and 39% didn’t even have a window. The average inside cabin on a cruise ship is around half the size of the average hotel room in the US and on my last cruise, I booked the smallest and cheapest cabin on the entire ship. When I booked this cruise I decided not to pick the specific position of my cabin, this saved me a little money but it did mean that I risked being given what many would consider a β€˜bad’ cabin location. Usually the cabins that are assigned by the cruise line are the cabins that nobody else has picked, the left over cabins. We were sailing onboard the Carnival Magic, a ship built in 2011. Despite the ship not being that old by cruise ship standards I had heard quite a few things about the cabins being dated and run down. The ship has 1845 cabins and at full capacity she can hold a little over 4500 guests. The ship has 14 decks that are open to passengers with more decks further down for crew. I could have had a cabin anywhere from deck 1 right up to deck 10, I could have been right at the front or right at the back. β–Ά Stay up to date: http://EmmaCruises.com/News β–Ά Let's get you on a cruise!: https://EmmaCruises.com/Book-a-Cruise/ *** β–Ά Background World Map (Use Code EMMACRUISES For a Discount): https://enjoythewood.com/emmacruises β–Ά Daylight Lamp: https://emmacruises.com/lamp β–Ά Don't make the WORST CRUISE MISTAKE: https://emmacruises.com/cruise-travel-insurance-why-you-need-it-and-how-to-get-it-step-by-step-guide/ πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ emma@emmacruises.com Join this channel to get access to exclusive perks like a weekly podcast and early ad free access to videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu4C8c3h9SKdkxnOwIAiHeA/join
