When I first started watching Emma, she was all about the cheapest possible cabin. As her channel has grown, she’s “moved on up” to nicer digs. While I can’t begrudge her stays in swanky cabins on nicer ships, it’s fun to see her back in steerage with the rest of us grunts.

My first cruise was actually in a balcony believe it or not! It is a bit different now I run a business out of the cabin, I can't really sit around the ship and work because people come to talk to me (which is totally fine) so having some outside space for my office is good! Half of my cruises I've booked for this year are in inside cabins though so don't worry lots more coming!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

I have experienced the Vortex sound occasionally on some NCL cruises. The maintenance staff was baffled by the source after attempting to affect the noise. It was challenging to sleep when the air system was active. I was able to determine the source of the problem. The adjustable air vent inside the shower was turned too tightly so the opening was almost fully closed. This resulted in air rushing through a small opening and making sounds like an airplane taking off. I was able to turn the cover a bit and the noise was eliminated. Keep this in mind for your next adventure on the seas!

Spent my working life on Drilling Rigs. Dog box rooms, often multi personnel. Never staying in a DOG BOX ever again. Love your videos though

Most useful comment was about the electrical plugs. Regardless of cruise line or location or cabin type it is defo necessary to bring a variety of plugs. We have found German type plugs hidden behind beds for example. I carry specific plug adapters for specific regions, ie OZ/NZ adapters for our cruise last month LA to Sydney and NZ. These are cheap and simple to carry but it can be infuriating if you forget them.

Love watching these. We usually sail interior cabins and my favorite so far is an Edge class Celebrity ship Deluxe Interior. Large cabin and bathroom. Usually we will split the bed into twins if the orientation is bed at the end of the room - having that aisle between beds made it much easier to maneuver. Next cruise is 14 days in Alaska in an interior on the Celebrity Summit - another adventure awaits.

My wife and I were blessed to book 2 Carnival Cruises (one 7 night & one 10 night ) with inside cabins comped (haven't cruised in 15 years) and since they are older ships, the size of the interior cabins are bigger then the regular staterooms of the newer ships. With taxes, port fees, insurance, pre paid tips, came to right around $2K for everything.

We have only ever cruised with RC, and since the year 2000. We do 2 per year and the worst room we’ve ever had was a porthole room our first cruise on the Monarch. Since then our accommodations and excursions have been wonderful, only hampered occasionally by weather. Never had the desire to try Carnival, but Princess is on our bucket list.

Painting was a bird of paradise, tropical plant.

Question: have you ever cruised solo, and could you do a review of what it's like to cruise in a solo cabin, and do you have any advice?

We've been team inside cabin for years, but got a surprise upgrade to an outside cabin on our last cruise and I have to admit I loved it (we've occasionally done balcony cabins but can't always justify the cost). I had thought having a window wouldn't make a difference but it actually did and we've gone for an outside cabin on our next cruise.

I sailed on the ambience back in 2017. Though back then, it was called the Pacific Dawn. The carpet looks identical

Hard to think of 2000 tellies as being “old-fashioned” - until I turned ten, our only tellies were black and white, so a colour telly was the equivalent in those days of a teleportation device - so, here in 2024, referring to a 2000 telly as the equivalent of a gramophone probably seems rather odd to a 60-year old geezer like me!
