I Spent 7 Days in The Most Controversial Cabin at Sea
Ойын-сауық
Normally if you take a cruise in a balcony cabin you can look forward to views of the ocean and the ports that you’ll be visiting. That is not what happened on my last cruise though because I stayed in what is called a ‘conservatory mini suite’ which although it did have a balcony, it had no clear view of the ocean. It is one of the most controversial cabins at sea and definitely the strangest cabins I’ve ever had, I saw some weird things frim here too.
There are plenty of videos and reviews online that warn others not to stay in the cabin but because I had booked what is called a ‘guaranteed’ cabin I was automatically assigned the room. Usually when you book a guaranteed cabin you get assigned the leftover cabins and I did wonder if that was what happened here.
Still, I was very happy with the cabin I was assigned. Cabin 8304 on deck 8, it’s the deck 8 cabins that are the controversial ones. On P&Os website the conservatory suites look amazing and it looks as though they have clear views of the ocean but I knew from looking at the deck plans that there would be a promenade deck between our cabin and the sea. The conservatory cabins are some of the most expensive cabins on the ship so I was looking forward to find out out what, if anything, made them worth the price.
I was sharing the cabin with two other adults so was looking forward to the extra space in the cabin over a standard balcony cabin and I’d heard that there were a few extra perks that came with the room too. I could never have predicted the perks that showed up, but more about that later.
Looking at the deck plans I noticed that we were located by the stairs and also that there was a whirlpool outside the cabins balcony. I’ve never had to think about noise from beyond the balcony before but I did wonder if this would be a problem. I didn’t want to be constantly bothered by the noise of people on the deck and I knew that there were over 900 children onboard because this cruise was during the school holidays.
When we embarked the ship we walked into this huge atrium on deck 6 and went up the staircases to deck 8 to find out room. Having a cabin on deck 8 did turn out to be a big benefit as most of the restaurants and lounges are on decks 6 7 and 8. I wondered if the walk up to deck 16 to the buffet would get difficult, but I’d test that a lot of times during the cruise.
My first impression of the cabin were very good, I loved the design and although it felt a little thinner than some other cabins I’ve stayed in it felt spacious and bright. The ship was launched in 2020, just before the pandemic which in hindsight wasn’t great timing but for a cruise ship that makes her pretty new. The sofabed to my right would become my bed for the cruise so I hoped that this would be comfortable. It’s more common for kids than adults to stay on these sofa beds so I hoped that it would be designed for somebody like me too.

I really like the conservatory addition, seems like a nice space to give your cabin buddy some privacy and have some space to yourself if you need it!

Went on a Canary Island cruise January 2022. We had a conservatory mini-suite. Cabin no 9616 (if memory hasn't failed me) above the food court. Given the smaller cabin size, I was really pleased we had the extra space to sit in although, It was not warm enough on our cruise to fully open up the doors. We didn't hear any disruptive noises from the cafe's outside seating area below unless we stood out on the balcony. Deck 9 overlooks the promenade, and having walked the promenade, I do not think there is a direct view into these cabins, so no real worry for cruisers' privacy.
This is a really weird tip, but for any shower that's slow to drain in the future, if it has the detachable shower head you can put it on whatever the highest pressure setting it and aim it into the drain area for 30-60 seconds while moving it side to side a bit and it may help keep the drain clear! My in law's drain does this and it worked well there with repeat treatments every 4-5 days.

Just doesn't feel like it would be very safe, even as it is, I'd feel uneasy about it because strangers could so easily just jump over the railing to get into the room 😵💫 Other than the safety concern though, I really like the room and could imagine staying like that even though I'm an introvert
There is a tradition in my area (Western Pennsylvania) called a "cookie table" at weddings. Wedding cake is served, but you MUST also have a cookie table. And make sure there are enough for guests to take some home as well. We had over 3,200 cookies at my daughter's wedding. Friends and relatives chip in to make them all!

We have just returned from a cruise on Iona. We had cabin 8201. This is the small balcony cabin on the Promenade deck. The deck is narrower at this point so there were no sun beds outside our balcony. We were very happy but the cabin was a bit tight! Would choose the next door cabin in the future which is larger.
I would never stay in a balcony cabin with my friends, someone would definitely end up blacked out falling overboard… so this honestly seems like a good idea

For safety reasons, the rails have to be high enough to prevent anyone from accidentally falling over. Now if he really tries and leans over the railing then yeah he could fall over
I love your videos!

Thanks so much 🥹❤️
These aren’t dissimilar to the Havana balcony rooms on Carnival’s Vista class ships. My hubby wouldn’t like this but the actual cabin looks lovely. I’ve considered Iona a few times, especially for travelling to the port (we’re in Scotland) and it’s starting to look more likely thanks to your videos.
This looks very tight to me. I don't cruise. It was fun to see how it is, so thanks for sharing. I know I wouldn't be comfortable.
I would like that cabin, but not if it was a lot more expensive. It looks like a good set up for 3 people. I agree, it would be nice if they had direct access to the promenade deck.

Yess. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
From our very recent trip on Iona I think it was, we were on floor 10. And looking around knew never to stay on floor 8 to 9 I think it was, because the balconies are awful and not private at all.
I love your attitude.. life hands you lemons? Making lemonade is great content! :)
Awkward turtle made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that! :)
