I Booked The CHEAPEST and SMALLEST Cabin on a Cruise

I’ve just disembarked a cruise where I had the cheapest cabin on the entire ship, it was less than half the size of the average hotel room in the US and it was located right in the middle of the ship with no windows or access to daylight at all.
On the ship there were 293 inside cabins which meant that there could be almost 1000 people in inside cabins just on this cruise alone. Inside cabins are a huge part of the cruise market, but cruise lines rarely advertise them. I wanted to find out why.
I did wonder if I’d miss the outside space, especially given that we were cruising to some beautiful places but when I saw the price difference between an inside and a balcony, I knew I had to give it a go. I do get seasick and the seasickness bags did come out during this cruise but I didn’t think too much about that when booking my cabin.
I hoped that the lack of daylight wouldn’t be too much of a problem, I hoped that we wouldn’t feel claustrophobic and that the cabin would be clean with plenty of storage. I knew the ship was built in 2001 but I hoped that the cabins had been refurbished since then.
This image and this plan on the Norwegian website was all that I had to go on and to me, this looked like a TV from 2001. I wondered if this cruise would be like stepping back in time.
On a cruise you can either book a cruise fare that includes picking your cabin location on the ship, or you can just let the cruise line decide and usually this is cheaper. I wanted to take this cruise as cheaply as possible so decided to let the cruise line pick. This type of cabin is called a guaranteed cabin because you’re guaranteed to at least get what you’ve paid for, but these cabins are usually the left over cabins as everybody picks the “better” cabins.
The Norwegian Sun is 13 decks high and 848 ft long which is about 8 planes in a line. She has inside cabins from deck 4 all the way up to deck 10, I could be given a cabin on any deck and from right at the front of the ship, to right at the back.

I could have a cabin with an adjoining door to the cabin next door, I could have one in a ‘noisey’ location, I could even have one which was sideways compared to the rest of the cabins. I had no idea.
I was secretly hoping that I would get a cabin in the middle of the ship so that I didn’t have a long walk to get down to the lower decks for dinner, or up to the higher decks for snacks in the buffet. My cabin was actually further from the buffet than I would have liked, but more about that later.
Apart from that I wasn’t really worried about my location, and it’s a good job I wasn’t because many would say that I was given one of the worst locations on the ship.
A couple of weeks before the cruise I received an email saying that my luggage tags were ready to print out and on these luggage tags was the cabin number 7314.
I went straight to the Norwegian cruise line website and found my cabin right at the front of deck 7. On most cabin decks you’ll find that the whole deck is cabins so I was interested to see that my cabin was between the art gallery and the kids clubs. I had visions of the kids running up and down the corridor but hoped it wouldn’t be like that.
The inside cabin we were staying in was around 13 metres squared which is very similar to the size of a shipping container. It was 9 foot wide which is around the width of a bus but it wasn’t as long as a bus, think of the cabin as a short little bus.
These cabins are made fully formed before they are put onto the cruise ship so I knew that they couldn’t have made too many changes since the ship was launched. Occasionally cruise ships will add extra cabins and sometimes they actually split the cruise ship in half to fit in another section, but once a cabin is in a cruise ship it’s pretty much there forever.

Royal Caribbean just announced they will only service the room once a day now. A lot of people are upset, but I think having your room done once a day is plenty.

[@Bobmcjoepants]

Once a day? They did it MORE than that? Hell I'd be fine if they didn't at all, though personally having the sheets tucked the way they do is very comfy

[@EmmaCruises]

Oh yeah P&O do the same now, once a day is totally enough 😅❤

[@Polkametal666]

I agree once is enough, we usually tell our steward that we don’t need two cleans a day.

[@GunnerHillTX]

Carnival's been doing once a day since Covid and we're fine with that. We choose the evening option so that we have a nice fresh bedroom and towel critter to greet us after our 'evening out'.

[@scriff70]

Just got off a RCI cruise in Australia and they were doing one a day cleans - totally fine.

[@frannieb5203]

Emma, your videos are getting so much more professional. You could do a TV show on cruising. Loved your objectivity. I used to love inside cabins because sleeping on sea days was sooooo good.

[@EmmaCruises]

Thanks so much, I try my best! 😅❤️

[@teal_panda_8434]

I see travel channel in the future... I used to watch Samantha brown a long time ago so maybe she could have a show like that lol

[@notthatyouasked6656]

My first apartment had no windows in the bedroom. I happen to like sleeping in a very dark room, so it worked for me. Eight days on a cruise with a windowless cabin would be a piece of cake for me, especially knowing I could always leave the cabin and go see the outside pretty much whenever I liked.

[@bart9587]

Hey guys (and emma), I am not a cruise ship specialist, but i am a engineer on board of other seagoing vessels. I have one remark on the fresh water tip. The reason it is cold is because it has been standing still inside of the pipes inside of the accomodatation which are cooler than the storage tank. So although it may seem like you are getting 'fresher' water from the tap, it is actually water which has been standing still inside of the pipes. I would recommend letting the tap run so you can be a little more certain that the water you are using has been filtered and cleaned not so long ago. You could allways put it in the fridge in you cabin to let it cool down faster I guess.

[@SandyToes75]

Thank you Bart, appreciate your expert inside information.

[@EmmaCruises]

That's a great point, appreciate you sharing. Thank you! 😁❤️

[@chriscoughlan5221]

Wow, seriously yr a lifesaver!!!!!!

[@IreneWY]

That applies not only to seaships. It also happens in homes.

This is not a concern on cruise ships because cabins are using water all the time. Toilets. Showers. Sinks. Water is moving all the time.

[@maxlimit18]

[@elvinhayes4356]

All right, Emma, maybe you don't read your comments because you get too many of them, but I just ran across your channel, and I simply have to say that your videos are the absolute best around. Sometimes, it's remarkable the talent and professionalism that you encounter on youtube, and you take the cake. (That's an American expression that means that you are the best.) (You probably already knew that.) I have never been on a cruise and I probably never will--I'm an introvert and I don't like being around a lot of people--plus I get very seasick--but watching your videos is the next best thing. You know what your next project could be? A youtube video on how to make good youtube videos. No kidding. Wow. I'm impressed. You are a talented and charming person indeed! Well done! A+!

[@EmmaCruises]

Ha ha, if I had more time absolutely. I spend most my life making and editing these videos though so maybe in future. Thanks for your kind words. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

[@kevinteh3563]

Just got back from a 4 night Carnival cruise in an inside cabin. It was less than $50/day for including taxes, fees and gratuities. I love the budget perspective that you provide because it's the way I like to travel!

[@dommino22]

We always just get the inside cabin, whatever costs the least and it has always been super comfy. I don't get spending money on the cabin as we are always out and doing things - even if just reading a book. I would maybe understand it more if you are not going somewhere warm, but still. Would rather spend money on extras like restaurants or excursions and such.

[@DyanEsoap]

I have never been on a cruise but absolutely love watching your videos! It's snowing here in Calgary, Alberta too!

[@SandyToes75]

We had flurries this morning and they are calling for snow tonight (it will be a dusting). I enjoy the Jan/Feb?March cruises when we have snow that is this deep! Have returned and found the parking lot covered and cars snowed in. Boy Scouts were digging them out for just $20. A real bargin from my side of the snow covered car. And we do get addicted quickly to cruising, so be forewarned.

[@LanJobin]

My wife and I are planning our first cruise ever so your channel is very helpful. Thanks very much

[@pw510577w]

My cabin on my first cruise was directly underneath the Kids Club. I did hear footsteps running around occasionally, but I was in my cabin at night mostly, so the Club was closed, so not a big deal. Being a solo traveler, I was put where ever there was a free cabin. At least it had a porthole, and it was very close to the outside spas.

[@Brody2477]

I’m a solo traveller, and I just picked and booked a inside cabin on Level 5 on the Sapphire Princess. If I had a balcony I would never leave the room and not meet anyone new. I will only use the cabin to shower and sleep. Why pay for something you don’t need. 🚢

[@zenkakuji3776]

Thanks for sharing your experience on the NCL Sun. Here's a tip for traveling and at home. It's perfectly fine to connect a USB cable to the TVs USB ports in the back. This will let you charge your device with only the cable. When the TV swings out from the wall, it's much easier to access the USB ports on the side.

[@EmmaCruises]

Great tip! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼 ❤

[@Notimp0rtant523]

This is so interesting. I have no interest in taking a cruise but can’t help but enjoy the video. I think that’s because you don’t waste any time, you talk about the experience from start to finish and it’s full of information. So many other creators use so much filler content, but you are here giving the people what they come for. Can I ask what camera you use for your action shots such as eating the cookie - or is that just iPhone clarity? Thanks again for making such great videos

[@Liaham1]

As a person who only cruises once a year I love to see your videos brings back so many memories❤!

[@gregneil612]

I have cruised on Norwegian Sun twice. I also like the cookies but they normally closed the buffet access to these around afternoon tea time. I mentioned this to one of the crew in the buffet and every day following they provided a plate of cookies to me in my cabin. We also had a kettle in our cabin.

[@kristiemeyer2445]

I've stayed in 7314 on the Norwegian Sun! We were only in it for one night and then they upgraded us to a balcony room because the cruise was so empty

[@EmmaCruises]

Nice! I’ve cruised on ships only 23% full but never had an upgrade because of that so you got lucky 😀👍🏼

In Norway we call such a fruit drink for 'saft' (the squash one)... I guess it can be translated as 'juice'... except 'juice' is the pure stuff like apple or orange juice so if you asked for the latter but wanted the first you'd have to clarify what you actually meant.

[@John_Smith_86]

As a marine engineer, having a inside cabin actually reduces your seasickness. And if you don't mind the potential noise from the engines, having one on a lower deck will reduce it even more. This is because it reduces the relative motion you experience. Although to be fair, I have heard claims that being able to visually see the terrain going past from the car windows is helpful, since it aligns your inner ear fluids with your eyes. But I suspect this doesn't help much on a ship, since the ocean is flat and featureless.

[@ventureout92]

As a crew member. I would spend 6 months in an inside cabin with a bunk mate. Totally doable. It’s kind of like a cozy cocoon.

[@patricec.2957]

I tried an interior cabin for my last cruise, and well I was very surprised in good, because I felt very well there. So from now on I think that all my cruises will be inside, because if you think about it, you don't stay in the cabin very long and you get the same service as the balcony cabins, so I prefer to do more cruises than to have balcony cabins

Good review of the Norwegian Sun. I was on the exact ship one month ago going to South America and the Panama Canal. It was very clean, my inside cabin was actually larger than yours, and a good value. I travel, mostly for the ports and to experience crossing the Panama Canal, and then secondarily the cruise ship itself. So I was very pleased with my adventure. The buffet on this ship was actually significantly smaller than three other NCL smaller ships I was on in 2023.🌹

I have a cruise booked in a 99sq ft studio room on Norwegian. I like small and cozy rooms though. And after my discounts, the cruise is cheaper than a motel 6 room! The room has a virtual window, and a private lounge just for studio room guests. My travel partner snores too loud for me to share a room with them so its a good solution for me. But its definitely not suitable for bigger guests with a lot of luggage.

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

I've taken to packing a multi-country adapter and using it on the European outlet. That way I get an extra plug, and the adapter has several USB ports. That way I don't even have to check to see if the TV has USB outlets to charge my mobile devices. I swapped from inside to balcony staterooms after my January / February 2020 cruise (where I came within hours of being stranded in China, but that's a long story). I spent a few decades booking guarantee inside ones, but my financial situation has improved considerably since then. I do not knock anybody for deciding that is the right move for their situation. I'm once again considering NCL as it seems shared tables have vanished. The last time I was on an NCL ship I liked most of the features, but they have no idea how to handle single people at dinner. Now it seems that I'm going to dine alone no matter what line I'm on, so I'll once again consider NCL.

I like inside cabins, mostly because I have to have total dark to sleep. However, I will make my choice for location. I prefer the aft of the ship and higher up.

Best cabin review I've ever seen 👌

[@VikPaints]

My last cruise on Ventura I had the dreaded Aircon breeze descending on my head when in bed. It's one of the things I look out for now when selecting a ship, thankfully as you say the newer ships locate it more centrally in the room but even on land Aircon can be a real pain. I once had a loud rattling Aircon unit in Thailand, switch it off and it's unbearably hot to sleep, hence my trusty earplugs saved the day once again. Tip: never travel without earplugs (Howard Leight industrial ones are best !!! )
