I’ve stayed in a LOT of cruise cabins over the years — but these are six I would never book again. From ridiculously awkward bunk beds and a shower with very little privacy, to a balcony everyone could see onto, a balconycabin where the “view” was basically a lifeboat, and even a stunning luxury cabin with one huge problem… these stays taught me some very useful lessons. In this video, I’ll show you the cabins that caught me out, explain exactly what was wrong with each one, and — most importantly — what I’d choose instead next time. 🚢 Cabins featured include: P&O Britannia Costa Smeralda P&O Iona Cinard Queen Mary 2 Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas Scenic Eclipse II ✅ FREE Cruise Cabin Checklist: https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk/free-cabin-checklist/ There are lots of things I now check before booking a cruise cabin — including the exact location, layout, privacy, obstructed views and what’s directly above and below it. I’ve put them all into my free checklist so you can avoid making the same mistakes I did. Have you ever stayed in a cruise cabin you’d NEVER book again? Tell me what happened in the comments!
