The inside cabin having that walk-in wardrobe space is FANTASTIC
I think they should design ALL cabins like that. Why take up precious cabin space with a wardrobe closet, fridge, small desk 🤷🏻♀️ put it all in a hidden walkin closet!!!
I wish the bathroom door opened into that space so the light won't blind the person sleeping at night
Yes, I loved that feature too and found it very appealing.
I would pick the inside cabin lots of room and the walk in wardrobe brilliant
No go inside cabin on a cruise ship
I'd pick a normal balcony - I like the idea of opening a door and being truly outside, away from the filtered air conditioning of the room. The last $80k room is an eyesore - looks like a kindergarten classroom. If I was a wealthy grandfather I'd love to take my grand kids on a cruise but I don't want to live in their playground.
I work in the public school system. And that was my thought exactly.
You are so right about that. No way would I spend 80k on that cabin. it looks good for small children and a family who will spend enough time in it. With all of the activities on the ship, why do you need a cabin that costs 80k. Take those children around the ship and leave them in childcare sometimes while you enjoy some adult time together.
You could sail an entire month in a Deluxe Owners suite on a NCL ship for that price
I suspect the $80k cabin is a stunt rather than one someone would actually take.
Wow an $80,000 dollar a week suite with beanbag chairs and a slide. It seems almost extreme in limiting the range of guests. But hey, maybe there are a heck of a lot more very wealthy people with kids who like to cruise.
As someone who spends 80% of their cruise life in inside cabins, this one was absolutely gorgeous - the colour scheme is a really good way to make the room feel bigger than it actually is. The walk in wardrobe space makes it look and feel SO luxurious!
It was SO lovely!
Hi guys, we are the elderly couple you met, it was great meeting you and Stef.
We have done the infinite cabin in Celebrity, I really enjoy sitting on a balcony and getting the sea breeze.
It was lovely to meet you!
Opening the window and auto-shutting off A/C makes sense energy-wise. This also prevents people from leaving the windows open and walk away if they want a cool cabin....
As someone who wants to go on a cruise but has a lot of anxiety about the ocean, I absolutely love the concept of the infinite balcony. Gives natural lighting and a view but puts space and an added sense of safety between me and the actual water :)
I'm like David, I need that real balcony experience.
Everyone needs to stop calling it an “infinite balcony” it’s an “opening ocean view”
I suspect that the "infinite balcony" design is to save on fuel costs. Like you said, they have some plusses and minuses. Some may love the extra indoor space and floor to ceiling glass, while others, like me, prefer to have an actual outdoor balcony. Sitting in a room with the window open is not the same as sitting outdoors. It would be more honest of the cruise lines that have them (RCCL/Celebrity) to call them Oceanview cabins with windows that open...or something less wordy, LOL, but equally descriptive. I'll bet some people booked them thinking they were getting an actual balcony. Great video! Always informative and entertaining.
Agree! They're basically just oceanview cabins with deck furniture next to the window.
We stayed in a Sunset Corner Suite on Deck 11. The ones on decks 11 and 12 are even bigger with beds that face directly out to the balcony. The bathrooms are also a little bigger and come with two sinks. I would highly recommend getting a Corner suite on the upper decks.
Was thinking the same thing, but I wish they would've shown what the balcony looked like in the video. Curious to see how it wrapped around.
Wow! That’s an inside cabin I wouldn’t mind staying in! I love the closet area. That’s for the great tour, guys! BTW, I completely agree on the decor of that big family suite…yuck.
I quite like the idea of an inside cabin especially for a first cruise
Never took an Inside cabin until we just went on the brand new Celebrity Ascent. Guess what? It was just like all the other regular cabins including the beautiful bathroom but it was not quite as long and did not have a view. Guess What? I got the best sleep I ever had. Dead quiet and dark. Of course you use a small night light and there is one in the bathroom already there. Would do it again in a heartbeat and guess what? We are going to do this on the new NCL Viva this summer taking a 10 day Adriatic cruise. And we saved at least a thousand dollars on each cruise and then some. Bought my wife an nice lab grown diamond ring and saved a ton on that too. Get my drift. I like good value for the money. These overpriced suites are not and I dont care how much you have. Its still a big waste. Just my opinion. No flames please. Look elsewhere if you want to pull that stuff.
When I tell you I hit play so fast 😂. I love Ben and David because they always give very throughout walk thrus and details. They are the only ones I've seen that mentioned laundry options on their other videos. For me.. I'd pay money to wash clothes just so I don't have to come back with laundry that needs to be done after a lovely family vacation.
I will say this is the first time I'd consider an inside cabin.
Even the inside cabin is nice!
Infinite balcony is all weather. Often it gets too windy or sea too rough to sit out on your balcony- these seem to compensate for those situations 😎👏
That's probably why Viking uses them on their Expedition ships.
WOW! that inside cabin is amazing!
While I would love a balcony cabin the inside cabin is definitely no hardship. Love the storage space!
I was prepared to dislike the infinite balcony until I saw the version with family accommodations. I still prefer a “real” balcony, but the thoughtfulness around accommodating families is a big selling point. Big enough that I wouldn’t mind seeing them retrofit older ships with more family friendly cabins like the ones shown here. Super informative as always guys!!
Love the baskets in the closets
the nice thing about inside cabins, is that they get pitch black at night. i've slept my best nights in window-less cabins and hotel rooms.
That's funny, seems like everyone says the same thing about them being so dark and nice to sleep in at night while I'm the odd man out it seems. My bedroom at home has so many night lights, brightly lit LED display on my alarm clock, etc. that it probably blinds my cats night vision when it's time to sleep. LOL
I could never stay in a cabin without windows, I would feel trapped. My favorite will always be one with a true walk-out balcony overlooking the sea.
They completely black out at night and you get amazing sleep in them.
I like the infinite balcony cabin. More sunlight and sea breeze. Zen.
Traditional balcony. Hands down.
Of all the cabins I've seen on your channel, I am really liking the design of the rooms on this ship.
That wrap around wardrobe was brilliant.
I'm so happy to see you guys back in front of the camera.
It's a beautiful ship.
I love the inside cabin! Thanks for showing it to us. The closet area is amazing.
The Sunset Corner cabin is so gorgeous!!!
Hi Ben and David! I am basically 98% inside cabin person and I really, really super like this inside cabin ❤. Thank you so much for this video!
Not a fan of the infinite balconies. prefer the balcony be a seaparate space.
Ben and Dvid your videos are out of this world!!!! The best cruise TH-camrs I have come across by far. Your attention to detail and the way you do not rush your videos are FANTASTIC! Keep up the amazing work :)
The family townhouse looks like a McDonalds play area!
Nailed it!
And yet the other cabins were so tastefully decorated. Not everything in a family unit needs to revolve around the children. I wouldn't stay in a cabin that was so intent that my children watch TV, that their bedroom has four TV's at the end of the four children's beds. 📺📺📺📺🙄
So much for teaching conflict resolution. Used to be you'd bicker over what to watch. It's okay. It builds character, lol!😃
Wow, the inside cabin is so nice, and the balcony cabin is amazing
I completely agree with your take on the ultimate family townhouse- having cruised a bit as a child, I would have much preferred a more grown up style, where I could feel like a VIP, much like how Oscar loved the giant suite you booked in one of your recent videos! Plus, then the adults can enjoy it too!
Totally agree! That suite with the slide was very childish and honestly very babyish. When Oscar saw his room and of course the private hot tub he knew he was VIP!
yeah. it's the adults that pay for it after all..
I agree. A cruise in itself 0s very adult-feeling, and I would imagine a kid would want to feel more sophisticated vs kiddy unless it's a Disney cruise.
I love the colors of the rooms, toned down from the rest of the ship.
I don’t like the infinite balconies, looks like a fish tank
Regular balconies are much better, specially in summer with the heat in the Caribbean.
The townhouse is horrendous
You need glasses to fight all those colors.
I know
Is for families with kids but is a little too much .
Inside cabin is super cute
Thanks again for the gorgeous video
I just found you two, and I am alone and don’t travel, but I am living vicariously through you ❤ ❤ Thank-you!
I love binging your amazing content 🎉
I can see how the infinite balconies would be perfect for families with young toddlers! No fear of falling out when it's closed and those little fingers can press right up on the glass!
We have had an infinity balcony on three different cruises. We love them. We like to open our window at night and sleep to the sound of the ocean. Plus, it cools the room down at night, We have not experienced the room getting hot even though our first cruise was on the Edge to the Carribean The other two were transatlantic. The infinity balcony also makes the room seem bigger with an extra sitting area where you can watch the ocean.
Inside cabin for sure. We spend most of our time enjoying the ship🥰
Thank you for sharing. I love the corner suite cabin. I hope you both had a great time 😊
Infinite balcony? That’s some serious spin. It’s a window, right? Can I go outside and enjoy the sea air? No. Then it’s not a balcony to me. Love your videos guys!
Or is the infinite balcony a huge TV screen that has a camera facing the ocean outside?
Fan Girling right now! Been waiting on this one. ❤
I like the balcony cabins. Me & my hubby like to have a view. The inside cabins where nice!! So bright & plenty of space. The extremely expensive kids room cabin reminds me of a daycare classroom. Seems like they forgot about the older folks when designing this. Love you both so much!!❤😊
I absolutely love you guys! Thank you for showing us this incredible ship!!
I look forward to your videos so much! They always make my week and inspire me to work hard so I can go on a cruise 😂
My family LOVES Ben & David!! We watch you all the time! We love all the cheeky moments 😂! You all are so entertaining! My 1yr old enjoys the videos too!
I've had 3 infinite balconies on Celebrity and i love them.
This was one of the best cabin reviews seen in a while, Great detail and just the right amount of time per cabin size.
Ben and David, the two of you are the absolute best at ship/cabin tours. Thank you
Thanks for the tour!!! Appreciate all your videos!!!
Wow I'm impressed with the inside cabins!
Great review guys! Thanks so much.
great way to present info about the cruise line/ love it,
Hello from PEI Canada. Very helpful to figure out what I would need. Thank you.
The interior plus is amazing! Thanks for this video.
Thank you for showing the interior cabin..
I love the infinite balcony
I have to say the cabin you stayed in during your Dubai trip was the ultimate cabin I don’t think you guys have to worry about spending tons of money on these other ones
Thank you for this wonderful tour. I hope your catching up on your sleep and giving your feet a rest. 💙💙
No Sunday is complete without a new vid from you both!
I love that inside cabin. Reminds me of the cabin I had on the Regal Princess
That inside cabin is genius. Love the wardrobe area.
I’m not sure I could deal with the infinite balcony. We also like to keep the inside in and outside out. It’s not to step out into the air.
The tiles in the sky suites are gorgeous. Love the bed canopy detail too.
Love you guys! Watch all your reviews. Been on several RCL cruises and this newest ship has definitely trimmed down the size of the cabins- even the high end ones! Thanks for showing us what to expect!
Love the infinite balcony 😍
We were in a Spacious Ocean View Infinite Balcony last week. Saw you guys several times. We loved it. Found ourselves sitting in the balcony space 90% of our time in the room. More than we ever spent on an outside balcony. AC seemed to keep up okay while window was open, but, once the window was closed, temperature and humidity balanced very quick.
I really like the inside cabin. It's very nice 👌 really want to get on board, but it's just too expensive
Another Great Video Guys ❤
Best shot is 22:22. Superb. Loved the tour.
I always look forward to your cruise videos!
The inside cabin looks great! I would be happy with that.
I like the family cabins. Great idea
Love your honesty. Thanks.
I love the Icon Loft Suite ❤
I liked the first suite - it seemed very spacious but the decor was calming and the layout was perfect.
Love that inside cabin.
I absolutely LOVE all your videos. It’s such a joy to watch you as you thoroughly enjoy what you do. And I am glad you are doing it lol. I love watching and hearing all the fun stuff on your food videos. So informative but so funny lol.
I just have one question. Is there a reason you don’t show any of these rooms that are accessible rooms? I love that you describe EVERYTHING as it gives me ideas on what I could use if handicap wasn’t available. But I would love to see the difference between the 2.
Thank you for all that you do!!!
The family cabins are quite interesting!
This was a great review thanks guys! We reserved the ocean balcony room, excited for this August trip!!
Thanks for sharing! Excited to watch! ❤
Thanks for watching!
Hi guys...
Just found your channel by mistake... I'm so glad I watch your video, it was so refreshing to watch you both .. Ben you had me in stitches...😅😅
You both bounce off each other...
Yes I'm a fan now, and I'm telling my friends to give your channel a watch....
Take care , look forward to more good vlogs..

Sunset suite my favourite.
I would pick the sunset corner cabin, for sure.
New suscriber here! everything is so crazy and perfect! with the inside cabin I´m truly happy, the wardrobe is just perfect, with amazing details and design.
The thing about the infinite balcony is you have a extra seating without the wind and if you can't sleep you can sit in the balcony area and watch the world go by without feeling the cold .
Sunset corner suite...favorite choice
Infinite balcony I would choose. Great job on your videos
Thank you, great video! We are taking our Grandsons in June and have the Family Infinite OV with the bunk beds! I'm pretty sure my husband is going to hate the infinite balcony because of the heat (I will love it)! Even if it's a one and done, we can say we tried it! I love that the boys will have their space. Creating special memories again on Royal:) Thanks again for the informative video!
Always love you great videos. Just wish you’d show a handicapped accessible cabin on some of the ships. Thanks for all you do. Really appreciate the detailed coverage.
I’m handicapped and become anxious about whether I can deal with cabins/ships made for able-bodied folks. I would love to see what I’m dealing with!
I'd pick the corner suite. They are lovely.
I think the infinity balcony would be great in a cold climate, or doing a crossing in the late fall/winter months, but when it's warm, I want to be outside.
That family "townhouse" is ridiculous. It looks like a pre-school/day care center. That décor doesn't suit anyone over the age of about 6, and not every family is traveling with kids that young.
Hi Ben and David. The inside cabin looks very nice. Ocean view is nice. Surfside balcony, I would think they could be a little louder. Infinate balcony, extra hidden storage is always nice. I like the wardrobe. I think I would like that cabin. Makes the room feel bigger. Family infinate balcony. Love all the colors. For family's that is really nice. Surfside family suite. Lot's of room. Corner suite... Nice! Panoramic suite, huge. Icon loft suite. Nice looking. Family townhouse, I would expect more elevated decor, not relaxing for adults. A huge indoor playground for the kid's. An for the price, you can find all the fun things for kid's on the ship. I would never pay that price for the cabin (even if I could). As always thank you for sharing all this and the hard work you do getting it out. ❤❤
All rhe rooms look really nice. I especially like the Inside, Infinite and Panoramic rooms.
Love you guys, watching you from Canada 🇨🇦
Loved the tour of the rooms. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it
its lovely I love it
Infinite balcony looks fabulous!
This ship looks so nice, hopefully someday she’ll sail from Galveston, which is the only port I sail from because I can drive to it & I don’t want to add the expense of flying. You guys really know how to make the nicest, most professional videos. Best cruise channel for sure. ❤
Thanks!
I'm your newest subscriber from KENYA when will Royal Caribbean international consider cruising round African destinations we are clientel too 🙂🙂🙂
