We Booked the Cheapest Cabin on One of Marella’s Oldest Ships

Creator's Key Takeaways
One of the first things that we noticed about this cabin was that it's actually a four-berth room, meaning that it can accommodate up to four people.
It was all right, a little bit firmer than we'd personally choose at home, but we both slept well and had no major complaints.
One thing we really love about older cruise ships is the amount of storage space you tend to get, and this cabin has loads of it.
We were located on the lowest deck of the ship below other cabins and reception and had no major noise disturbances throughout the cruise, which is always a massive win on a cruise ship.
