Creator's Key Takeaways

I've spent most of week trying to decide if this cabin was worth the upgrade price from an inside cabin or if I should have just gone all out and really treated myself to a balcony

I loved the initial look of the cabin it felt spacious and very light and bright because of the window

I was so happy to say that in our cabin we barely felt a thing I could tell that we were moving but things were not rolling

I would do it every single time it was definitely a clever move too for Marella to offer this so cheap because I enjoyed it so much that I would definitely look to book this cabin again

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an Ocean View cabin for a cheap upgrade from an inside cabin to get daylight and fresh air
Use the Marella app to report cabin issues for quick resolution
Bring your own towels from the cabin to the pool deck as there are no extras up there

YouTube Video Description

Usually, when I cruise I’m perfectly happy with an inside cabin but I’m currently on a ship where I’m trying something different. You can check out Marellas latest deals on their website here: https://tui-uk.7cnq.net/OrOMoW (affiliate) 🙌🏼🥳 On my last cruise before this one I booked an inside cabin, we had rough weather and 8 sea days so not having any access to fresh air or daylight wasn’t the best. I didn’t want to repeat that so when it came to picking a cabin for this cruise I booked an oceanview cabin which is a category I never normally consider. My hope was that this would at least give us some daylight but that it wouldn’t be too expensive. I’ve spent most of this week trying to decide if this cabin was worth the upgrade price from an inside cabin or if I should have gone all out and really treated myself to a balcony.

I booked this cruise quite last minute and just was hoping for a calm easy cruise. The price to upgrade to a balcony was half of what I’d paid for the entire cruise and I just couldn’t justify that. I knew that this ship was almost 30 years old which really is quite old for a cruise ship so I hoped that nothing in the cabin would be broken or damaged. As with every cruise I’ve ever taken I’d read reviews about it being grubby and run down and I hoped that they weren’t true, I really didn’t want to be in a dirty room for 7 days. ▶ FREE COURSE.
