Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm currently on a cruise where I'm staying in a cabin that has not changed in 22 years.

I’m currently on a cruise where I’m staying in a cabin that has not changed in 22 years. I booked a quirky cabin type too that most people don’t know is an option and it’s certainly not a cabin you’ll see the cruise lines advertise. Usually, when I cruise, I’m more than happy with an inside cabin. I stayed in an inside cabin on a very similar ship a few years ago and it was totally fine. Not great, but fine. I like to cut costs where I can and I usually can’t justify the balcony upgrade price. When booking this cruise though I came across a third option, something that I hoped would be better than an inside cabin but wasn’t as expensive as the standard balcony cabin. If you do have a strong stomach and want to check out my friend's cabin (they got a full refund and an upgrade), you'll find those photos here: https://sailawaymagazine.com/carnival-miracle-the-most-outrageous-cruise-ship-ever/ (don't open this while you're eating!! 🫢🤣 Read this far down? You are AMAAZZZING. Write a comment about the Otter you saw in the video, let's confuse everybody else who didn't read this far down. 😅😇 The ship I’m currently on Carnival Miracle has has over 1000 cabins onboard and I booked what is called a guaranteed balcony cabin which was $130 per person cheaper than the standard balcony cabin. That meant that I would at least get a balcony of some sort but it could be anywhere on the ship, I would basically be given the left over cabins and it could be one with any number of downsides. I knew that my cabin could have some sort of obstruction to the view because it did mention that but I didn’t know if that meant I’d have something small in the way or I’d just be staring directly at a wall for 7 days. It could have gone either way. ▶ FREE COURSE.
