The $500 Cruise Casita Mistake I Won’t Make Again | Final Sea Day
This was the final sea day on our Independence of the Seas cruise — and honestly, one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made on a cruise. We booked a private casita thinking it would be a relaxing way to spend our last day onboard… but cold weather, wind, and timing completely changed the experience. By the end of the day, it was clear this was not money well spent. In this video, I break down: • What a cruise casita actually includes • Why it didn’t work on this sailing • When a casita might make sense • What I’d do differently next time If you’re considering splurging on a cabana or casita on a cruise — especially outside warm-weather itineraries — this is worth watching before you book. This video wraps up my 8-night Independence of the Seas cruise, sailing roundtrip from Southampton with stops in Northern Europe. — Planning a Disney or Royal Caribbean Cruise?
