I Took a LUXURY CRUISE in The CHEAPEST Cabin | Azamara Onward

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator reviews an inside cabin experience on the Azamara Onward, a luxury cruise ship where such accommodations are rare, with only 23 available on the entire vessel. Having experience with budget cruise lines, the creator compares the boutique hotel style of the Azamara cabin to more functional, cheaper alternatives. The cabin is described as bright and spacious due to the use of mirrors, featuring amenities like an included mini bar and turn down treats. While the sleeping area is praised for its comfort and fluffy bedding, the creator notes several design trade-offs. The television placement is inconvenient for viewing from the bed, and the universal plug sockets are positioned in a way that could cause injury during sleep. The most significant criticism is directed at the bathroom, which the creator finds extremely small. The shower design is noted as being problematic, as water tends to escape into the main bathroom area when in use. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while the cabin offers high style and cleanliness, it lacks some of the functional substance found in budget cruise ship accommodations.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I've been cruising with the budget and mainstream cruise lines for years and I'm very used to cruising in the cheapest cabin on the ship.
I had no idea how they can make an inside cabin luxurious and I was excited to get to compare this cabin with one that might cost a quarter of the price on a different Cruise Line.
I feel as though to fit in that's over what we sacrificed was the shower space.
I'm taking those toiletries I've paid for them.
