I Upgraded to a "Superior" Cabin on an Old Ship
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator reviews an upgraded superior ocean view cabin on the Fred Olsen cruise ship, which was built in 1997. After expressing initial hesitation regarding the extra cost, the creator explains that the upgrade was chosen to secure a larger window and a bathroom with a bathtub. The cabin, measuring approximately 19 square meters, is described as bright, spacious, and well-maintained despite the age of the vessel. The creator notes that the room offers more storage than standard cabins, including three wardrobes and three large desk drawers. While the room lacks modern high-tech features and bedside USB ports, the creator finds the traditional decor and amenities, such as the twice-daily housekeeping and nightly chocolate, to be charming. The review covers various aspects of the stay, including the functionality of the air conditioning, the convenience of the cabin location near the gangway, and the experience of using the small bathtub. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the upgrade was a worthwhile treat and expresses no regrets about the decision.
