I Spent 7 Days in The Most Controversial Cabin at Sea
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 03. 2023
- 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 cannot stress enough how loudly i just laughed at the whirlpool noises.. cruising will never cease to continue surprising me
I'm glad!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Some people are way more adventurous than I’d ever be !!!😂😂 Really funny for us to hear them though 😉😋
And that is why we don’t use public hot tubs.😂
@@EmmaCruises Yikes! Isn't that a potential health hazard?! I don't think I'd want to go into the whirlpool after that .Maybe it was a stranded seagull that needed rescuing?
@@billcooper4525 Agreed...just ''Eww''.
As an introvert, this cabin is my worst nightmare 😂
lol same
There are some CZcamsrs who have it and some that don't, Emma you have a natural talent for this medium. Your positivity in a industry that has so many negative nellies is refreshing. You don't over sell hype, you don't do gimmicks and flashy "look at me skits"...just Emma and a Cruise. Love it! Please never chase the comments, stay as you.
Thank you, I’m 5 years in now so what you see is sticking around!! 🤣🤣
Did you spot Captain Hudson in this video? Let me know in the comments! 😉
On the shower head
Damn! I was looking for Waldo! 😸
I did!.. hiding in the shrubs (Britishism?).. aka plants (USA) 😂
02:22
I did! ❤
How on earth does Emma stay in shape with all this cruising?!? She must be very disciplined.
It's called when cruising don't use the lifts. Just use the stairs etc you will easily do 10 to 20 thousand steps a day especially on larger ships
Oh my word... I would have been giggling hysterically at the noises from the whirlpool like an immature school girl!!! Awkward was definitely accurate!
hahaha, Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I would have been braying! 🤣😂🤣
Gross, body fluids in the hot tub 😖
The moment you mentioned the whirlpools I knew you would leave traumatized 😂 I’m sorry you had that happen but I’m glad I got to laugh along with you about it!
Haha. Was all good fun. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
And it was broad daylight, as well! 😂🤣😂🤣
They're respective partners were probably in their cabins so they had to find someplace else...🙂
if, by traumatized, you mean- went in for a closer look....yes. She was traumatized lol
@@EmmaCruises little tip…. If you are even in a situation….at sea or at land…. And you start hearing “whirlpool noises” play Appalachian Banjo music, intermingle with Tuvin Throat singing. The changes in rhythm will break up those “whirlpool noises” very quickly
What happens in the whirlpool... is known by everyone, apparently.
No secrets that's for sure!!! 😂😂😂
@@EmmaCruises Good times! What happens in the whirlpool stays in the whirlpool. Not literally.
What happens in the whirlpool remains in the sand filter.
Thanks for the reminder that public hot tubs are people soup 🤢
Is the sofa in the conservatory big enough to sleep on? You'd have more privacy out there, at least.
@@StillPooh62 I think you might have wanted to comment to Emma. Not my comment.
OMG! My dad would freaking love that cabin… he’d spend the whole trip holding court out on the balcony lol
Yess!!! Exactly!!! It's the perfect cabin for so many!!
So would my partner,he's like a social host
@@MrBear1967 same here, which is why I won’t be mentioning it to him… unless it’s on an Atlantis cruise, now that could be fun lol
In Germany a conservatory is called "Wintergarten", and this translates exactly to what you think it means, because you can sit in your garden during winter. German is a very effektiv language, where words often just driscribe what they mean 😂
Ha ha, I love it!! Makes perfect sense. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
My German teacher told us there was no word for conservatory in German! Makes sense! I mean who would sit in a glass room in the summer! Go outside!
It's like antibabypillen lol
But nobody sits here in Germany inside the Wintergartens cos it's just too cold... 😂
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! (Because as much as I love going on trips with friends/family, eventually you need a break from one another). I'd prefer one without the promenade deck being right there, though
Yess!! Was great for us. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
The slow-draining shower may be intentional. If the water is backing up you'll cut the shower short, thus saving water. Subtle but effective.
Most ships have reverse osmosis. Conserving water isnt really necessary in open ocean waters unless the machine is broken or its too close to land such as being moored.
they're on the ocean dude.
@@ileolai yes, but they don’t pump in ocean water to use - it has to be fresh. Do you really want to be showering in water that fish have shat, peed, killed and fed in?
@@Elfdaughter Yes... they do. It's called reverse osmosis. Read the first comment in this thread and if you don't know what it is, Google it lol.
Especially after she said others had the same issue……
My husband loves talking to anyone and everyone. I could see him standing out there chatting for the whole cruise!
mine too. I was just thinking about how he would live out there.
Absolutely the perfect cabin for many! :)
That would be me. I would chat all day.
And a million bad dad jokes.
These cabins would be great if you could access the promenade directly.
Yeah!! I just wanted to hop over. 😂😂
That’s what I was thinking, it’d be like a “poolside” room in a hotel where you can walk out from your balcony to the public areas. At least you could go for a walk around outside without exiting into the inside hallway and then back out again. I’d be so tempted to try to catapult over the rail😂
EXACTLY! With a little door it would be great, without it's the mountain top of odd...
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.
That editing note was hilarious. People actually do that in a whirlpool on a cruise??? Lol😂
During the day, too 😂
Haha, they were just playing around I think 😂😂😂
@@christina.p2003 I haven’t been on a cruise since I was a kid, maybe I just never noticed lol
@@EmmaCruises More "hope" than "think" ...
I would have yelled out “JESUS IS WATCHING!” 🤣
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!
OH MY GOSH INCREDIBLE!!!!
This bled across the border into Ohio, when I had my wedding, my wife had some friends who were from Youngstown and they volunteered to produce a 1500 cookie table.
@@andykrew336 Yes people love to spread the tradition! :)
'chip in' I see what you did there...Chocolate chip cookies, chip in???
I'll see myself out.
@pirobot668beta thought the shame. Share an uber?
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.
Thats a great tip! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I remember a cabin type exactly like this on the Carnival Vista and the more recent carnival ships. They’re called the Havana Cabana Cabins on carnival, thank goodness for those blind shades on the balcony doors.
Bizarre isn't it! Yesss. I was impressed with the reflective tint too. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
But you have a gate on your deck.
Right
I just got back from staying in a Havana Cabana on a Carnival cruise. I loved the room and the patio! There was a gate from the patio to the deck that led you to the pool area that was exclusive for those staying in the Havana area. We rarely had anyone walk past on the deck, only our cabin neighbors.
The conservatory is great! Basically having a living room addition. Brilliant for friends and families to have that extra space. Initially I thought the balcony had direct access to the promenade and I thought that made complete sense. But no gate? I feel they’ve missed an opportunity that would sell the room here.
Yeah, but I think they'd lose a lot of seating on the promenade deck so I do understand that too. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises I think they would also need to have a lock that opens with your key card for either the gate or the conservatory. You might also get some unexpected guests.
Well, it sure sounded like someone was having a whirl while getting hot and heavy in the tub pool. I actually liked that cabin layout. It was pretty nice. I think you could snooze in the conservatory if you wanted to. Have to admit that deck nine cabins have a few more benefits but they may not come with large cookies. It appears Captain Hudson approved.
Yesss!! Oh no no other cabin comes with the cookies 😂😂😂😂
You are right, a garden gate to the promenade would be perfect. I actually think that cabin looks like fun, like sitting on a front porch and seeing folks walk by.
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
I’d be mortified if I heard/witnessed that on holiday!!! Especially if it was in the day/with kids around 🙈
It was just kids messing around I think 😂
OMG a hard NO from me… we are doing an MSC Med cruise in May and chose an inside cabin over a balcony cabin that overlooks the internal street promenade thingy. I couldn’t imagine anything worse until I saw this video! :D
Hahahah!!! I just booked a Royal Caribbean cruise with the inside balcony ;)
This would be a nice room if you got a good deal on it. I love the sunroom, not so much the "balcony", though that would be great if it had promenade access.
That cabin would be ideal for elderly sailors who would rather spend money on permanent cruises rather than horrible care homes
I am a bit claustrophobic, never been on a overnite cruise. Just seeing your big room made me go into a rush! I could never do this!
Ha ha love that we were mentioned here 😊 we sailed on Iona’s inaugural cruise just after covid so I’m sure service and ambience has improved dramatically, our window seat cabin was amazing and we highly recommend, you don’t always need a balcony 😀
sun + open sea = ✅😍
Oh hey CZcams! 👋❤
+ weird whirlpool noises
why so cringe reply
I had no idea YT's official channel commented anywhere.... wtheck
I think the slow draining shower drain is to try and stop people taking long showers
the extra door between the beds and the promenade created by the conservatory must really help with noise levels.
A conservatory in the UK might be called a sunroom, three season room, or a patio room here in the US. My grandma who was from Kentucky called it a patio room.
Oo I've never heard patio room before, I like that. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Love the cabin review Emma!! Captain Hudson is so cute hiding in all the nooks and crannies inside your cabin! Can’t wait to receive my very own captain Hudson 😻😻😻
I'm going to hide him everywhere now! Ha ha. Not long to wait!! We're still on track for the early April delivery. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises I noticed all the cute places he was hiding out checking out his territory! Haha! If only he had dreamies!! Thanks for your reply….made my day! 😻😻😻
You’re too kind! ❤
Omg thank you so much for reviewing this room we’re on Arvia next month and your review has been the best one I’ve found for the CMS 😀 thank you 🙏
Yay! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Emma, I am really impressed by your articulate and informative reviews. So much left unsaid.! I am moved to announce that going on a cruise with you is now on my bucket list! But in a smaller and less OTT ship. I like cats and cookies too.
Thanks lots! :)
I really like the conservatory in this cabin layout. I'd have probably somehow set it up so I could sleep there rather than in the same room as my friends... like my own little bedroom. LOL
Yeah I think I'd like that too. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
What a thorough and thoughtful video. Wait...all your videos are.
Hmm, maybe 🤔 that's why I LOVE watching your videos.
You make the YT World a much better place ✨️ 💕 💛
Thank you so much. Lovely comments like this make it YT the best place!! ❤️❤️
Emma: How relaxing...Cookies, cocktails, and entertainment from your balcony (and the whirlpool).
Now that's cruising!
Yess!! Perfect. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Yay a Hudson cameo! The less said about the "noises" the better 🤣
Meow meow meow!! 😂❤️ Yep!!
@@EmmaCruises Hudson cameo is a great idea.
Cheers to you. You are an absolute delight. I truly enjoy your informative content.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
I feel like I’d be so socially awkward if people just turned the corner and I was sitting there 10 feet away 😂 I’m sure it’s a great conversation starter, but it just depends how badly you want to have a conversation on your balcony 😅
Yes!!! Exactly!!
TMI: Hubs is usually in a state in undress in the room. A walk by balcony might be awkward for passersby but not for him, lol
Haha, they'd only make the mistake once!! 😂😂😂
Great video Emma! We're hoping to do the Fjords on Iona next year, so it's good to see what this cabin is like and we'll check out your inside cabin review to compare. It was funny to see fellow CZcamsrs - Paul and Carole in your video too ☺
Ha ha, love them! and love Iona! :)
Another terrific video! And Capt Hudson everywhere! I can't wait to get my own Capt Hudson plushie! And, oh yeah, how amazingly awkward was that hot tub audio?? 🙄🤣🤭
Haha, glad you enjoyed it!! 😂❤️
I’m a newer subscriber but I just wanna say I adore your videos, i get motion nauseous just thinking about being on a ship so I’m loving living these experiences through your videos ☺️
Thanks so much that's very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
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 😀👏🏼
Your videos are so fun. they always make me laugh. keep up the good work. I only follow Tony, Don, and You for cruising.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
I think I'd like this cabin. I would like a balcony but I'm afraid my husband, who falls a lot, would fall over. This seems safer.
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 and reviews! Feeling very prepared for our cruise later this year thanks to your guidance! Side note- I love your dress with the llamas on! Where did you get it from? 🤩
Thank you! 😁❤️ Popsy 🎉🎉
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
@Christian_Attride 0521 Your friends may need to check in to AA.
Yikes. Drinking is not a performance sport...
I always enjoy these. Thanks, Emma.
Thank you! 😁❤️
A cabin kitty would be a perk I would definitely pay a premium for!😻
Same!! 😂
Awkward turtle made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that! :)
Glad you enjoyed that! Glad myself laugh 😂😂😂
Noooo Those whirlpool noises! Did you check on her? Is she ok? Sounded like an emergency. Good to see you being responsible and going in for a closer look though
OMGosh!!! I'm laughing so hard at the whirlpool part. EXACTLY why I never get in the hot tubs or pools! Lol
😂😂😂😂
That cabin layout looks pretty great! Thanks for reviewing it!
Great video!! The weather looked great at times! I think the cabin looked fantastic and I would consider it for sure. X
Love the cabin layout, though think deck 9 would be preferable. The conservatory would be brilliant for me and hubby... I'm an early riser, and have sat reading in the bathroom before now while he has a lie-in 😄.
I think the cabin had a pretty good layout. Great video Emma. My parents had the whirlpool experience when they were at the beach. There was a couple on their honeymoon in the whirlpool room which was right next to their hotel room. They were sitting out on their balcony and could hear everything. There were also large windows. This happened years ago and we still laugh about it.
Oh noo!!!!! ha ha ha. How funny. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma i really enjoy your videos!!!
This may be a bit random, But i just want You to know that You are doing an amazing job!
Thanks so much Fiona that's very kind. I always get nervous when I publish a video and sit here waiting for comments so it was lovely to see this one. Appreciate you!! ❤️❤️
The fact that so many decks overlook you and that you are exposed to promenade deck passengers is really an ideal set up for running a car boot sale to get some cash back to make a profit on the cruise fare.
Hahaha, so true!!
🤣 Your comment is awesome! Thank you for giving me a great laugh!
These cabins dont seem as bad now but definitely something i would think abojt more
🥳🥳🥳
On Iona now Emma fabulous ship, have already booked Arvia in January round Caribbean, love the vlogs keep up the great work 👍
Ooo yess!!! Arvia around the Caribbean sounds SO GOOD. I'd love to do that! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Great video Emma. An honest opinion from you as always .
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Cabins look lovely inside.
Not too keen on the promenade right outside as you never know who is going past.
And the whirlpool noise would only make me more competitive than them 😆
Either that or sing super loud 😆
Love your videos and how you tell us the viewer about your experiences. Love your British-isms. Would love to see a video on a Regent ship and your thoughts about the experience.
I’d love that too!!
Love The Cabin You Had Emma! Always A Treat To Watch Your Videos! You're A Woman Of Great Character! 😉💖🥂
A conservatory would be called un jardin d'hiver (winter garden) if there plants in it, and une véranda without any, in French.
In Russian, likewise, zimniy sad (winter graden) with plants, and solariy (solarium) without.
In America and Canada, they are called sunrooms or sun porches.
Oooo, that's interesting. Thank you! 😁❤️
We were on Iona on the 11th-18th feb, some cabins got roses left outside rooms on valentines day, was a nice touch. Glad some roses got left for the next guests after we left❣
That's the same date I was onboard 😄❤️. Hope you enjoyed!
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 love that you got an atlas in the room! I agree, a little gate to go out on the promenade would be awesome. I quite liked that room and it would be a great option for a family. We've only cruised the Caribbean, is there a similar ship over here? I also love the kettle and coffee maker in the cabin. I HATE having to leave my cabin to find coffee, which usually sucks anyway LOL
Carnival celebration is a sister to Iona and Costa smerelda all quite different though 🎉😊
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 cabin sounds like my worst nightmare, I am almost allergic to socializing.
I wouldn't mind staying in one on deck 10, where you're above the promenade deck.
I literally laughed out loud at your cookies. Perfect! Great video on this special cabin!
Thanks lots. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Very interesting cabin.. extremely nerve wrecking for those guaranteed cabins for sure.. Only if I was in the mood for an adventure 🤩
Ha ha, yes!! Exactly that!!! 😂😂😂
i would book a cabin like that one.
Just spent a fortnight on deck 10 on Arvia looking down on deck 9 conservatory balcony’s.
They were small and totally overlooked, so no outdoor privacy at all 🤔
Ps loved the edit, was she being strangled 😂
As always, great video Emma.
We do typically call conservatories sun rooms in America. (Also you can run a coffee maker without coffee if you just want hot water for tea).
🥳🥳🥳
Was that the actual audio from the whirlpool? O.o, if so I'm still laughing at how awkward that was 😂
Yep!!! Ha ha. You can hear me talking too in the clip. 😂❤️
Okay so now I’m really worried. Booked my first cruise on Iona in June but had no idea how to choose a cabin. Tried for ages but couldn’t work it out. In the end I just said fine, just give me a balcony cabin, how bad cab it be 🙈🙈🙈🙈. Well I paid the balance 2 days ago and got a code ‘GF’, did some google wizardry and think it’ll be deck 8 as no one actually chooses the promenade. Not going to lie my excitement has diminished. What a coincidence though that you posted this 😎
Ha ha, theres definite perks and drawbacks to this cabin like anyone. When are you going? If it's cold weather like my cruise you'll rarely see anybody out there anyway! Plus, if it's your first cruise you won't have anything to compare it to and it'll all just be exciting. ❤️ Have a great time! 🥳🥳
You could get deck 8 GFs but those balconies are across many decks so not necessarily. I know people who booked GF saver and ended up high up forward front allocated.. If you get deck 8, at least you're close to the Quays food court :)
Great video. I love how Captain Hudson appeared in so many places! ❤️
I'm going to put him everywhere in all my videos from now on! :)
Omg. Cannot believe the editing note - someone clearly having a great cruise! As you say “awkward”!
Hi Emma, lovely to see you have been on yet ANOTHER cruise! It’s your birthday twin. Well, not exactly, as I was born 13 years before you-just on the same day. I wanted to pick your brains about a once-in-a-lifetime cruise (and part land explore but mainly cruising the world), and I wondered if there is a chat feature on here? If so, please can you let me know? I also wondered if I could take a cruise with you, as you seem so much fun and if Paul and Carole and Gary Bembridge were there as well, even better. Later in the year. What do you think? I’ve never been on a cruise before and I want to have some fun. X
Hey Alex, CZcams doesn't have a chat feature but if you would like some help booking a cruise please feel out our form here: emmacruises.com/book-a-cruise/ if you'd just like to chat to me feel free to join us on Patreon patreon.com/emmacruises. Alternatively have a look at my website, social accounts and channel for lots and lots of tips and advice. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Omg why do people insist on getting it on in public!
Love your content and videos ! 🧡🙏🏻
Thank you so much!!
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.
Emma, first time visiting your channel. I loved your coverage & info. I travel working for advertising photographers & shot on the silver seas cruise line in the Med for work. Researching to possibly take one on my own
Thanks so much. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Wow that cabin is awesome :) love it :) it Would be much better, as you said if there was a little gate onto the prominade deck. But really cool cabin :)
I'm only 3 minutes in but have to comment...my first thought was "A conservatory? Oh, like Clue." 🍔🍟
Hahah!!! I love it. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks for sharing Emma, interesting cabin!
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 absolutely love your videos! so informative and you have a lovely personality :))
Thank you so much!!
The conservatory is sorta like a sound buffer zone I’m sure. With a room between you and the promenade I got to think you wouldn’t hear
Yess, inside you can't hear a thing. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Maybe the cabin should be advertised as Meet And Greet, for those who really want to interact with passersby.
Ha ha, that would be fun! :)
That edit reminds me, I gotta call her back 😜
... you would make any cabin a great one ... as you find the natural joy in everything around you ...
I love that you included the audio from the hot tub 😂😂😂
I had to! 😂😂😂
The cruise ship MUST start making those glorious cookies available for all passengers! 😋
Call it the Emma special 🤣😊
If I could eat a real cookie without dietary modifications, I'd go for that! OTOH, they could substitute Northshore Sushi roll for me or any Tobiko sushi.
@@EmmaCruises Yes!! 😁
Hi Emma, when you book a family room with sofa beds, does the cabin steward make up the beds at night, or do you do it yourself?
Emma's sailing today, so I'll reply. Usually they come in the evening and make up the bed , and put it away in the morning. On this occasion, we told the cabin steward to just leave it as a bed. We didn't need her sofa to sit on - we had that extra conservatory area with comfy seats.
@@gaynor247 thanks very much for your help
