Staying in The Smallest Cabins on Cruise Ships

- These are the smallest inside cabins found on cruise ships. From the cheapest to the most expensive I am going to stay in them all.
Starting with an inside cabin from one of the biggest cruise lines in the world, Carnival cruise line.
I’d read a lot of bad reviews about the inside cabins on the Carnival Magic but when I saw a cruise for just $76 per night I knew that I had to give it a go. To keep it as cheap as possible I didn’t pick the location of my room and that meant I could be given a cabin anywhere on the ship, probably one of the cabins that nobody else picked in a ‘bad’ location. I was given cabin 7432 right at the back of deck 7 above a nightclub and piano bar. I hoped that that wouldn’t cause me any problems as the cruise went on as cruise ship cabins aren’t exactly known for being soundproof, you can hear everything.

Walking into the room I was instantly struck by how funky it looked, I think funky is the right word, there was a lot of orange wood around, the floor was bright and even the bed had a skirt. The desk reminded me of spaghetti hoops and I have no idea what the art was on the walls but it was on both sides, the same painting twice. They clearly thought this was a good painting so they ordered thousands and thousands and thousands of copies of it.

That's a bird of paradise flower, yeah?
Apparently so! I can't see it!! ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
AKA Strelitzia or Crane Flower.
Yeah. We have one in the garden. It rarely flowers mind you.
yeah, that is a flower
Yep we have a HUGE Bird of Paradise in our yard (seriously like 20' (7M) tall. Flowers look just like that.
The bit about imagining the window behind the curtain had me cracking up. Your Velma costume was awesome.
Ha ha, it might work!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises All these where without food/drinks?
When I first started watching Emma, she was all about the cheapest possible cabin. As her channel has grown, she’s “moved on up” to nicer digs. While I can’t begrudge her stays in swanky cabins on nicer ships, it’s fun to see her back in steerage with the rest of us grunts.
My first cruise was actually in a balcony believe it or not! It is a bit different now I run a business out of the cabin, I can't really sit around the ship and work because people come to talk to me (which is totally fine) so having some outside space for my office is good! Half of my cruises I've booked for this year are in inside cabins though so don't worry lots more coming!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
You don't need to explain or apologise for paying for anything you want and can afford.@@EmmaCruises
I suspect that the cruise industry is picking up on the asset they have in Emma and this is the reason for the nicer digs. But who isn't curious about the nicer digs? Even if we wouldn't necessarily go for them if it was coming out of our own pocket?
Seems those are often found with "The cruise line invited me to..." or "There was a last minute discount on..." attached to the nicer cabins.

I have experienced the Vortex sound occasionally on some NCL cruises. The maintenance staff was baffled by the source after attempting to affect the noise. It was challenging to sleep when the air system was active. I was able to determine the source of the problem. The adjustable air vent inside the shower was turned too tightly so the opening was almost fully closed. This resulted in air rushing through a small opening and making sounds like an airplane taking off. I was able to turn the cover a bit and the noise was eliminated. Keep this in mind for your next adventure on the seas!
YES!! Airplane taking off, that's exactly it!!!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
That painting is a bird of paradise. It's the official flower of the city of Los Angeles. They are everywhere in Southern California. I cruised on the Carnival Magic in 2017 with extended family and friends. It was fun!
I kinda see it!! ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises Strelitzia reginae from South Africa.
I am impressed with how well emma organizes her records and her footage to be able to make a video like this.
Thank you! 😁❤️
The Painting is a painting of the tropical flowering plant known as A Bird of Paradise, the plants natural location is South Eastern Africa, but also does very well in Southern Australia.
We have only ever cruised with RC, and since the year 2000. We do 2 per year and the worst room we’ve ever had was a porthole room our first cruise on the Monarch. Since then our accommodations and excursions have been wonderful, only hampered occasionally by weather. Never had the desire to try Carnival, but Princess is on our bucket list.
Retired Coast Guard Marine Inspector here: those SOLAS whistles on lifejackets are *never* cleaned!😂
Ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Which is why I always had a crew member test it. (Still another retired USCG Marine Inspector.)

Ohh that must be it. Ha ha. Thanks Justin!
Well, yeah. Just in case!👹
This is fancy dress…..and this is a fancy dress had me in stitches 😂
she looked good in that fancy dress, not the fancy dress, but the fancy dress, i mean
Haha. Thank you! 😁❤️
I think fancy dress A is Velma from Scooby Do! Not sure about the next two... 7:30
@@jonathantsou9255 Redhead in the middle is Ginny Weasley I believe.
The art in the carnival room is a bird of paradise flower 😊
Pretty!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Painting is the Bird of Paradise flower. Grows in tropical areas.
Pretty!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Most useful comment was about the electrical plugs. Regardless of cruise line or location or cabin type it is defo necessary to bring a variety of plugs. We have found German type plugs hidden behind beds for example. I carry specific plug adapters for specific regions, ie OZ/NZ adapters for our cruise last month LA to Sydney and NZ. These are cheap and simple to carry but it can be infuriating if you forget them.
Spent my working life on Drilling Rigs. Dog box rooms, often multi personnel.
Never staying in a DOG BOX ever again.
Love your videos though
"Fancy dress" is costume in American English. I recognized your Thelma (from Scooby Doo) fancy dress from previous videos. The painting in your first cabin is of a Bird of Paradise flower. It's tropical but does grow in Florida.
??? I’ve lived on both coasts and I’m from the Midwest. In the US, I’ve only ever heard “fancy dress” to mean formal.
I have watched many of your reviews of cruises around the world and enjoy your positive personally. Keep up your travels and thanks for keeping us informed on new and interesting facts about the cruise lines. Fred C.
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words! I appreciate it 😀❤️
Love watching these. We usually sail interior cabins and my favorite so far is an Edge class Celebrity ship Deluxe Interior. Large cabin and bathroom. Usually we will split the bed into twins if the orientation is bed at the end of the room - having that aisle between beds made it much easier to maneuver. Next cruise is 14 days in Alaska in an interior on the Celebrity Summit - another adventure awaits.
Thanks lots and lots!! Totally agree feels more spacious. That sounds AMAZING!!! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
My wife and I were blessed to book 2 Carnival Cruises (one 7 night & one 10 night ) with inside cabins comped (haven't cruised in 15 years) and since they are older ships, the size of the interior cabins are bigger then the regular staterooms of the newer ships. With taxes, port fees, insurance, pre paid tips, came to right around $2K for everything.
I really like the fact the you take the time to respond to many comments many youtubers don't do that
Great vid
I try my best, Thank you! 😁❤️
A lot of people complain about sounds, but a small white noise machine takes care of that, and you get some great sleep. We love using our when we travel.
I hate almost all forms of background noise (I can just about deal with rains noises). I’m autistic so that might be why is so noise sensitive.
A few weeks ago I went on my first cruise, it was on the "Allure of the Seas" to the Bahamas and Coco Cay. This channel is part of the reason I decided to go. I really enjoyed it, and those ships are amazing. So... next June I'm going to be making my way across the country to Seattle and will be sailing to Alaska on the Anthem of the Seas!
Ooooooo. Sounds good! I loved Anthem! 😁🥳
I’m seriously rewatching your old videos bc I realized that I missed your face and your voice! I went to your page to see when the last time you posted bc I was gonna ask where you were and realized it was only 5 days ago! I definitely LOVE you and your channel! I play your videos on my headphones as I’m home with my two under two all day lol. You rank with Ben and David and shiplife for me. And I also love the British-isms 😂
Oh, that Azamara cabin is faaaaaancy. I do love those internal corridors - they’ve got them on NCL, and the cabins down there are SO much quieter than being on the main corridor.
I’ve never seen an ‘included’ minibar on a ship - talk about life goals…!
You better believe I made the most out if it 😂
love this Emma, very informative
Thank you! 😁❤️
Bird of Paradise is my favorite flower ❤
Hey Emma! Awesome video.....as always!!! XXX
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
I love your videos! Im absolutely fascinated by cruises, but i know they aren't for me for a multitude of reasons. With your videos, i get all the fun with none of the drawbacks!
I get so envious of Emma (@EmmaCruises).
Thanks so much. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Nice video 😀 btw, the art on the wall looked like a painting of a “bird of paradise” Strelitzia flower 🌺
Pretty!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I have no plans to cruise but watch every one of your videos 😅 Your voice is relaxing
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
@emmaCruises.... I am so envious of Emma.
Those paintings are birds of paradise flowers
The two paintings are birds of paradise.
Pretty!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I am so excited for HUDSON V4 AND I AM PLANING TO MAKE THEM A LITTLE CRUISE SHIP
Awwwwh I love this!!! Make sure you email me a picture. I will be including your name in the back of the Captain Hudson book in the thank you section, for all your inspiration!! Thanks for watching. 😀👏🏼
Wow the sass levels are 💯 on this video 😂 I love it! 🖤
Haha. Thank you! 😁❤️

I was looking for this comment, and I was right too 😁
The painting is of a bird of paradise flower!
Keep up the good work mate
Thank you! 😁❤️
You just sold an inside cabin on the QM2 to me. I’ve been begging my parents to take me on a transatlantic trip. New begging point! Thank you!
Woohoo! It was lovely. Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Well done Hermiome!
These are excellent videos you make for us! Thanks for the FYIs
Okay, I'll subscribe already
😂
Thank you! 😁❤️
Hurtigruten Vesteralen Coastal Express in Norway is a specatular cruise if you like scenery. The inside room for 2 (bunk beds) was half the size, at best, of the smallest room in Emma's experience. I have never cruised before - but I have wandered out of the US for a decade - and the fjords of Norway are just my style.
We always choose the inside cabin in order to take more cruises and have $$ for excursions. But I carefully select a mid-ship location now that I know better. And not near any noise. We’ve been perfectly happy in a cocoon type area. No sunlight to wake us up early! Very quiet and private.
Sounds good to me! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Cool
Wee

Noise sounds like a old kettle 😀
It does!! Ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I stayed in an inside cabin on P&O Arcadia last year and was pleasantly surprised by the space! It had a similar dressing/storage area as at 9:14 and the bathroom was very similar to 1:36 - though with heftier toilet paper! I've definitely stayed in smaller hotel rooms so it was a great wee cabin as far as I was concerned.
Sounds good! 😁🥳
*I learned something from your video; cruise ship cabins are apparently plug-in play/modular. I am interesting! Thank you kindly, I learned something today.*
Love your videos. The paintings represent a tropical flower called Strelitzia or Paradise Flower.
Love it! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
My daughter has that same alarm clock. Neat.
I'd like to see you check out the Norwegian Cruise Line solo Studio cabins.
Me too!! ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
That last cabin segue with the pizza was fantastically written and executed.
🎉
Ha ha, Thank you! 😁❤️
Amazing video!
Thank you! 😁❤️
6:11 sounds like an airplane taking off 😂
This video is great.
I was wondering if it was worth the balcony or not.
Thank you. You are a doll.
Thank you! 😁❤️
Hard to think of 2000 tellies as being “old-fashioned” - until I turned ten, our only tellies were black and white, so a colour telly was the equivalent in those days of a teleportation device - so, here in 2024, referring to a 2000 telly as the equivalent of a gramophone probably seems rather odd to a 60-year old geezer like me!
Ha ha, I was 5 in year 2000 so seems pretty old fashion to me! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
2015 tvs are old to me
Yay, a new video!!!
Woohoo! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Hello Thelma.
you pull that look off well.
Thank you! 😁❤️
The subtle references to cabin locations and resulting noise were good. And I really loved the idea of having a game of "identify the song" :)
It was so tricky actually!! Thank you! 😁❤️
My first 2 cruises were inside rooms, the next two were ocean view, and since then it’s been balcony only. I love having a balcony room and we always pick the middle section. We are budget conscious in other areas, during our cruise.😊
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Happy birthday, Emma, even if it's late!
Thank you! 😁❤️
Congratulations - you not only managed to enjoy your cruise in this tiny cabin but to present it on video as if it was an open space palast. You really do have a talent for "spotting details" but do not get carried away with being too picky. After all, like with everything in life - you get what you pay for. Hopefully - at least.
Great Vlog Emma. So interesting to see the inside smallest cabins. Oh wow the Azamara cabin sound you had was really annoying. Ambassador certainly looked tired and dated
Bit weird they didn't refresh it isn't it?! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
At 6:11 when Emma was about to play the sound she said dogs wouldn’t like, I got an ad for dog food 😂
Somebody else said that too!! Haha. Funny TH-cam :-)
. the dbl painting is so classicly strange conversation . 😂❤
I loved the phrase when fancy dress isn't a fancy dress :) It is the same down here in NZ as well.
Thank you! 😁❤️
This is fancy dress and this is a fancy dress... love it 🤣😝
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
We've been team inside cabin for years, but got a surprise upgrade to an outside cabin on our last cruise and I have to admit I loved it (we've occasionally done balcony cabins but can't always justify the cost). I had thought having a window wouldn't make a difference but it actually did and we've gone for an outside cabin on our next cruise.
I've been on rhe Magic 3 times and stayed in an inside cabin and it was great. I never payed attention to the colors because I didn't spend much time there. It was clean, comfortable and lots of closet space. I'd definitely do it again.
I sailed on the ambience back in 2017. Though back then, it was called the Pacific Dawn. The carpet looks identical
As someone who spent years with a bunk under the 3 wire on a carrier, being under a bar sounds like a great night's sleep!
That painting on the wall is a flower which is very common in my country!
These are excellent videos. I will use Emma Cruises to pick my cruise! Always informative.
Thank you! 😁❤️
@@EmmaCruises What makes you rise above the rest is that you don't just do a review for the sake of the review, you actually do the review as part of your chosen holiday transport. For us ship novices, my experience of cruises is based on the Titanic, your reviews are honest and gives the information that is needed and nothing else. no pretention, gets the nitty-gritty and tells it "as is" without any heirs and graces. I have watched other reviews and many do it for the clicks and cash. Yours are more of a proper travel guide and "Cruises made Simple". Keep up the good work. I am going on a cruise around The Med and it's based on your information!
@@alantheskinhead You’re very kind and it’s appreciated!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes the Azamara bathrooms ,even the outside cabins have small bathrooms. And small showers which can be handled quite well. It all depends on how you deal with the shower curtain. Magnets are the secret.
That Azamara cabin looks nice!
It was lovely! Such a tiny bathroom though, it's a shame. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruisesI cruised around Iceland on Azamara Journey last summer. I did have a balcony cabin (and I was travelling solo). I was worried about the tiny shower, having seen your video. However, I didn’t find it to be a problem, even though I’m bigger. I loved the ship and having free room service (and not a morning person), I had breakfast every morning in my cabin. I even had it on the balcony in Reykjavík!
That Azamara cabin sound was like a plane taking off!
It does!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
The whistle sounds like when the test the generator at work and it sounds like the building is about to take off
YES!! Exactly that. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Painting was a bird of paradise, tropical plant.
That noise is perfectly normal, your room was just preparing for take off :) 🤔✈🤣
Emma is amazing
Right back at ya!!
My last two cruises were one from Fremantle to Sydney in December and in January I did around Cape Horn in South America and down to the Antarctic Peninsula. Both cruises I had a balcony cabin but when underway it was too cold to sit on the balcony. When we were in the South Atlantic sailing up the coast of Argentina I did manage to sit on my balcony by wedging myself next to the adjoining partition and getting some shelter from the wind
Haha, so true!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Love these reviews.always full of information.💙uk
Thank you! 😁❤️
Painting is of tropical flower called Bird of Paradise. I actually would have felt very at home in that room, although hearing the music would have been an issue for sleeping.
I kind of see it, kinda! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I find it amusing that I absolutely read your reply in your voice!
Well... I typed it in my voice so it must be in there somewhere, how funny! :)@@cherilangguth2151
@EmmaCruise ....My first cruise was in a cabin ("upgraded" for my Honeymoon) to be right below a dance floor. Dam, it was in the Disco era.
Emma is THE BEST! 🩵🌷🌷🩵🩵🌷🌷🩵🌷🌷🩵💜
Thank you! 😁❤️
I'm actually doing an inside cabin on my next cruise, an NCL Alaska cruise. The price up to a balcony was hard to justify and they had some studio cabins available. I'm eager to try it for the lounge space/snacks.
Ooo yes!! That'll be so good. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Great way of using your cruise history.
Thank you! 😁❤️
Nice thumbnail 😁😁My bathroom, toilet, sink, and tub were that green color when I moved in... do you ...errr do your parents remember in the 70s-80s...TP matched bathroom colors 😲 🙃
Haha, love that. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I know, you do it for your content and it is brave of you to do so. Those cabins are like jail cells. That would drive me crazy being in one of those.
The painting was a flower called Bird of paradise. It's usually found in tropical places like Hawaii.
A bird of paradise 🎉
Pretty! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I have a bird of paradise painting too!
Love the ODD sign on the first ship
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
That’s a bird of paradise in the painting. Mexican plant.
I stayed in a cabin that was almost identical to this one. There was a shower capsule that was so small I kept banging my elbows. It was on the Freedom of the Seas. There wasn't enough room to walk around the bed, so I had to crawl onto it from the end. The air conditioner was right above my bed which meant the air was constantly hitting me all night long and also sounded like a wind tunnel. I'm glad it was only a three-day cruise.
The bathroom on the Azamara ship looks *exactly* like the bathroom in the cheap cabins on some of the overnight ferries in Scandinavia. I like to joke that you could, ahh, relieve yourself, shower, and brush your teeth, all at the same time.
I just did a 10 day cruise obstructed view cabin 88 USD a day P.O. Australia. Excellent cruise.
Great concept.....
Thank you! 😁❤️
I’m going on my first cruise this year and I’ve got a balcony cabin but as a solo travel I know it going to be hard to justify them if I get hooked. So it really nice to see the various options
It would be great if you could update on here once you've been 🙂.
I've never booked because of the solo prices. I'd really like to know about your experience.
Finally!!!!1 I am literally a vegetable until you post your next video.
Hahaha, I hope you are at least getting some food and sunshine during those times!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I have been on a few cruises and must say I would rather spend the money on trips and booze than a larger cabin. As long as the bed is comfy and there isn’t too much noise I am happy. Also I don’t bother with windows too much. I like the absolute dark when you shut your door.
Took me a second, those are called Spaghetti-Os in America. 😂
That's it! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Uh oh - spaghetti-os
spaghetti-os are a brand. look at any generic one and they indeed say spaghetti rings. i bet you say kleenex too, instead of tissue...
@@pauleasley6488 Nope never ever done that. 😅
Those paintings are of a plant called Birds of Paradise. I first saw this plant in Los Angeles, California and thought it only grew there. Years later I bought my home in Florida and found a garden filled with this beautiful plant and have them to this day. They grow about three feet tall in large clusters and put out the amazing flowers all year long if given regular sun and water.
Love that!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Taking another Carnival cruise in a few weeks. Our second. Looking forward to the hamburgers! Had an MSC cruise last year, our first, and was very disappointed in so much. Not an MSC fan but Carnival, older ship and all, is far more favored by my wife and I. @@EmmaCruises
I’m into the bed that comes down from the ceiling that sounds fun actually.
The artwork are Bird of Paradise flowers.
