I tried the best inside cruise ship cabin hacks to see if they worked

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Matt from Royal Caribbean Blog tests ten different inside cruise cabin hacks to determine their practical value for maximizing limited living space. After researching tips from cruise experts, he purchases various items from Amazon to evaluate them during a solo sailing on Mariner of the Seas. He rates each method using a three-tier system: worth it, meh, or not practical. The tested hacks include utilizing under-bed storage for luggage, using a cruise-compliant power strip, employing motion-sensor nightlights, and using a sunrise alarm clock. He also explores organizational tools like fridge magnets, laundry hampers, and over-the-door shoe organizers, as well as privacy solutions like curtain dividers. While many hacks like the luggage trick and power strip were deemed highly effective, others like the sunrise alarm clock and shoe organizer received more indifferent ratings based on his personal cruising style. He concludes that while most hacks are functional and could benefit many travelers, their individual usefulness depends on personal needs and the specific ship layout.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I've seen plenty of articles and videos over the years talking about easy ways to get more space out of a smaller cabin.
I was skeptical, to be perfectly honest with you, about some tips being actually useful.
Most of them did work. And I'd freely admit I think from a lot of people this would be a 10 out of 10.
I could definitely see why these made the list for so many people for so many years.
