Marella Voyager Inside Cabin Tour & Review - Bad Location?

- We are onboard Marella Voyager for the first time! Here's a full tour and review of our cabin, 4172, as low down as you can get, aft, and near the engines! I don't like inside cabins at the best of times but is this one going to tip me over the edge?! Let's find out, together! I also look at in-room dining options, how to access water fountains if you don't have a deluxe drinks package and how to get your laundry done!

We were on deck 10 last year and it was really good. Our inside cabin was below the summer rooms and it took me 35 second from too to bar! We did not have any noise from above and we’re were close to the kitchens as well. The view from the stern was fantastic. Get a cabin as high as you can. Inside cabin was enough for us as we didn’t spend in our cabin. I loved the Voyager. Nothing to complain about
👍
Let’s go outside…. I mean inside! Near the engine room 😂
Love the video's have to say there's a book to be written, The Jamie The Mathoo in the Wardrobe😊
@@mariesaliba687 lol 😆
Brilliant as usual. We're on her in December can't wait
Have a great time onboard!
That looks fine for an inside cabin. Being a thrifty sort I often choose inside cabins. My view is book two cruises inside for the price of a balcony cabin on one cruise. The shower door rather than a curtain is a big plus. Nice vlog Jamie.
Yes that’s some people’s take for sure! ❤️
Brilliant vlog Jamie. For an inside cabin it looks quite spacious and I do love the splash of colour. The bathroom looks a decent size and definitely plenty of space im the wardrobes. For a 26 year old ship it looks in a pretty good condition. Look forward to seeing the rest of the vlogs Jamie.
Thank you Alan
Ah, this cabin is lovely. As a connoisseur in inside cabins (the joys...), this cabin is so bright compared to some others. Also, given the age of the ship, this looks so much more modern than I'd have expected!
It’s one of the better ones out there that I’ve stayed in!
Looks nice and would be happy with it. The only issue I can see for some cruisers is the limited number of sockets but there is a way round it. Age of the ship to me is not an issue if it can offer a good sized cabin that is nicely kitted out. My first cruise was on the Island Breeze when it was Thompson and loved my single cabin. Again an old ship but it did the job and it was a time when we would take less gadgets. Just goes to show that younger does not always mean better.
True - not many sockets - not a deal breaker though (people can at least plan ahead for that). Thanks for your comments!
looks great Jamie. Great idea to take the Glade stuff never thought of that before. :)
On a longer cruise we have a reed diffuser
Lavender pillow spray - best invention ever !!! Looks a great inside cabin - love Marella mirror storage space, all cruise ships should have this 🥰
You can even store a Maffoo in the wardrobe!
Loved the vlog Jamie ... like others have said i'd struggle without an outside light source due to claustrophobia but i must say the room looked pretty decent! Matthew in the wardrobe was a surprise he's 100% not claustrophobic !!! 😂 Thanks for the great video 😊
You are always welcome 🤗
Literally just booked it yesterday. Can't wait.
Hoorah!!
Enjoy 😊
Come out the closet Maffoo!! Lovely tour of your cabin - I appreicated the hand flourish when demostrating your pull out shelf!
I’m getting better at hand flourishes for sure lol
Thank you. I have now booked😊
👍
Thanks Jamie! That looked like a pretty decent size. Loads of storage (poor Mafoo, I bloody jumped when his little face came into shot!!😂) and the bathroom was pretty decent too. Like you, I am not a fan of inside cabins, but if it means going on a cruise with an inside cabin or not going at all, then it’s a no-brainer. We did our first inside and outside cabins this year and they definitely made us stay out longer. We are definitely balcony cabin dwellers - but being inside/outside forced us to stay out later! Which isn’t a bad thing really. Can’t wait for the next episode, we may have to try Marella, esp after your yacht club experience! 😘
Scary Maffoo!
We hope to travel on the voyager one day. We’ve done the explorer and loved our inside cabin. I have to say though we usually go for the front! Your cabin looks fine. It looks similar in size to the Explorer, we’d definitely do an inside on this ship. It’s very light isn’t it. Cheers for sharing 🍻
Yes v similar to explorer!
I'm very happy in an inside cabin and this cabin looks good. We were upgraded to a cabin with a window once which was nice but I wouldn't pay extra for it. I am sure that we would love a balcony cabin but not tried one yet...never say never 🙂
Oh I’d absolutely upgrade every time if I could lol 😂
We absolutely love this ship,,went in September,, going February to the Caribbean.
👍
Ooh thanks for this, we have a refurbed inside booked for next year. Our inside on explorer 2 this year was good so hoping this is at least as good
Oh yes the Explorer 2 cabins also v good!
Another great video Jamie … did you and Mafoo try hide in wardrobe on departure day ?. Look forward to review of cruise … but 4 cruise cancel shock ??? Will tap in Monday night . Have great Sunday and Alison says hi to you both . 🍹☀️👍
I think many will have tried to stowaway for sure lol
The cabin is exactly the same as the one we had on Explorer 2. Lighter coloured wood effect but layout and facilities are identical. Agree they feel really spacious and are ideal for a good night's sleep.
👍👍👍
I've seen a few reviews that say there has been an issue with those staying on deck 4 with a strong sewage aroma...mmmm nice. Thank gawd we've booked deck 9. Great vid as always. GJ.
Ah so that’s commune then - thankfully not where we were located!
That’s hilarious… Maffoo in the wardrobe… bless him!!! Good size wardrobe though!!! And face cloths in the bathroom Jamie please? Looks like a very comfy cabin:)
Everything you could need, basically!
The cabin looks lovely and spacious.
I agree!
Haven't stayed in an inside cabin for many years, I'm disabled now and require the space for buggy etc, however my favourite thing about an inside was, complete darkness if required 24/7, great for sleeping and the obvious £££ savings😂
The alarm was definitely needed or we’d have slept in for hours lol
Good morning Jamie. Telly looked a little dangerous with that overhang and a possible night on the Pinot😊 Have a good day boss.
I’m a master of dangerous teles 👀
Hi Jamie , Mafoo , I can't do inside as I need to be able to see outside so always more expensive, but saying that your cabin looked ok for space. Happy days.
👍👍👍
Impressive size, as you say! Still cannot bring myself to risk an inside though. I have mild claustrophobia and need to see out, even just a porthole will do. Wise to keep the twin set up for that extra impression of space and ease of movement. Reminds me of my first time on CMV Magellen (ah, gone but not forgotten). The size of the cabin (outside, of course!) really impressed me - older ship again. Compared to cabin on Queen Victoria - much smaller. Give me the oldens any time. The room service menu looked very tempting! I have not tried the joys of room service yet. Having watched you partaking on many(!) occasions, I might treat myself on my December cruise - shock, horror just realised that's only a month away! Oh joy 😮
Oh I live a bit of room service but not when I’m in an inside cabin - doesn’t feel so special! Yes, December just on the horizon!!
I agree , I only need to know that there is daylight , so a window or a porthole is enough but I love a balcony.
Each time I’ve booked an inside cabin I’ve been upgraded to an outside, obstructed view cabin, smaller than your cabin. So if I do book an inside next time I’ll not tick the upgrade button because actually they look pretty good for the money. Maybe I would choose a higher deck mid ships though. Happy cruising.
We didn’t pay the extra to choose this cabin so no choice in deck for us!
Yes, I would stay in that cabin. Great storage space. I don't like the connecting door though, and wonder if you had any noise issues with it? Why no mini fridge? :( Did you have any noise from the dining room above you? What I see missing is a proper chair for the desk and a chair for your companion. Great cabin review.
No noise above and only light noise from next door
Nice cabin.
👍
Hi Jamie inside cabin every time . Ex engineer deck 5 middle ish area best location also tv used to show you a forward view and aft view at all times . Love your travel blog videos very informative. Why pay extra to sit in your cabin on the balcony when you got the rest of the ship to go at.
Thank you 🙏
additional comment....I know you like your coffee, so I wonder what you think of the coffee packets ? I'm not a fan of instant coffee, so would probably order coffee from room service. You showed the room service menu with charges, and I wondered if there is a "breakfast morning service" included or not. Thanks
No cabin breakfast service included which is why we went out for coffee most days! Not only that, but to get some natural light and fresh air!
Nice vlog Jamie,the cabin looks very nice and modern,but no way could I stay in an inside cabin,It's got to be a balcony,I understand why some people go for an inside cabin,for their particular reasons.but I need to be able to go out on the balcony and get some fresh air,be it cool or hot outside.My last cruise in September I wasn't very well on our last day,so I wasn't up to going in the restaurant for a meal,and enjoying the last nights entertainment,so I stayed in our balcony cabin and ordered room service,It arrived within 30 minutes and piping hot..And I was so happy I had a balcony door to open and go sit outside for some fresh air,By the way,I tested positive for Covid when I arrived home..
I always prefer a balcony for sure!
Is that Jo Malone Eau de Toilette I spy on your bathroom shelves? Good choice sir, if I may say so! 😊
Ha! Yes it is indeed - we like nice odours 😂
Hi Jamie, Great vlog. Was the cabin noisy . Could you hear engine noise?
No, only the usual vibrations coming into port
Slightly worried I am sailing on Saturday and got the baggage outward bound ticket but no return ticket for the suitcase do I get them aboard
Yup
The handle in the bathroom is very handy if you are an old biddy like me or it is rough at sea.
Absolutely 💯
Our cabin Aft family room was terrible for shuddering vibration around 4am 😂I still feel it a week on
Eeeek
I thought it was down to the booze I’d had
😂😂I needed plenty just to be able to sleep through it . That was one thing marella did well…..got me hammered regularly 😂 🍹🍹@@TravelBlogJamie
@@ryanharris4964 😂😂😂
You'd want to hold onto the shower rail if your elderly or infirm. I'd need a grab rail
I'd need one by the loo too... as I'd struggle to get up.
👍👍👍
Oh Mafoo 🫣🤣🤣
#naughtymaffoo
I would love to be able to have an inside cabin, but I might be claustrophobic, when I had Leukaemia they took me to an isolation room, I cried so much they put me on a ward, then the specialist "convinced" (threatened) me that I HAD to go in the room as they couldn't risk me catching anything and that had a window, though it was sealed. So now I'm very weary of booking a cruise, as I couldn't justify the costs other than inside cabins! Any suggestions on the best ships for inside cabins? ❤️
You can get ‘large’ inside cabins on most ships with extra space - P&O and Cunard have these and so do some of the Marella ships
Is a single cabin smaller than most inside cabins does it have one tiny bed
Have a look at my solo cabin reviews - they vary massively
Care to share why you tend to go for the twin layout for your cabins?
That’s only happened on Marella (we don’t tend to do this at all) and it’s primarily because they see two men sharing a cabin and make assumptions, sadly.
I am having problems booking a excursion to Rome from hays do you wait until you get on the cruise ship to book your trips I am not tech savvy not young and solo😂
It should be on your cruise personaliser - just log in to see what’s available
@@TravelBlogJamie how a where is that😬
I love that mir6above the desk, although I would have to open it with tissue and make sure Richard don't open it. I hate finger prints 🤬🤬 I like the cabin though, very roomy. Does maffo where the earplugs? 😂😂
He does at home too!
Don't use crease releaser on bathroom floor....it turns it into a skating rink!
I would neeeeever use it on any floor!!
Sorry Jamie, no way would stay in an inside. I need daylight otherwise I'd die 😂😂. I must say for an old ship the cabin did look very spacious.
I’d much rather not but with a cruise every few weeks it has to be done some times 😂
Was there no fridge in the cabin
No, no fridge
I don’t do electronic
Ok
Stay in an inside Cabin? No bloody way we have boundaries!
😂 I mean I cruise every 3 weeks so…
