What do you think of this cabin? Would the bathroom design be a yay or nay for you?
@jimloth60915 ай бұрын
Thanks for the tour! We just watched and re-played the bathroom segment again. Weird! I'm not jazzed about it but it would be a deal-breaker for my wife.

@@jimloth6091 Yeah it was our least favourite part about the room. Not a deal-breaker for us, but probably wouldn't go out of our way to cruise on this ship again.

I would say the room is remarkable. It's equipped with everything you could possibly need, and even though it's compact, it's incredibly stylish. The balcony is a standout feature, providing a generous space to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. As for the bathroom design, it's perfectly fine with me. two thumbs up!

Yes the room was pretty stylish and modern looking. We didn't mind the bathroom, just not our favourite layout. I really liked the balcony!

We are booked on a November 24 cruise on the Epic. Not crazy about the room design, but we like to try as many ships as possible. Been married 40+ years so not a big deal.

Sounds like it won't be a issue then! We didn't mind it and agree, it's nice to try out different ships. Have a great cruise!

agree the balcony is the best thing about the layout, otherwise it does not seem like a good use of a small space, and the bathroom/shower situation is definitely... eccentric?

I feel like I would settle for no lower than a balcony cabin if I did a cruise. Just because I was would want access to fresh air. The room seems cozy enough. I appreciate all the amenities in the room. A bit tight on the floor space. That bed looks comfy. Yeah that balcony is my favorite part.

Do the Cruise ships have a place for smoking a cigar?
@TheAverageTourist4 ай бұрын
We agree about the balcony, although for some ships and itineraries I'd consider an interior or oceanview to save some money. Many ships have humidor rooms or cigar lounges. Or designated smoking areas.
@KitatheExplorer4 ай бұрын
The design of the bathroom in the room is very odd. Like why is the bathroom part of the entry way. Definitely awkward. The balcony is a nice addition of the room. And I love those hooks that you brought for additional hanging. I will need to add that to my list of things to buy.
@TheAverageTourist4 ай бұрын
The magnetic hooks are a game changer for easy to access wall storage - got them on Amazon. And that bathroom was the weirdest one I've ever seen on a cruise ship!

There is a reason this has no "sister ship" lol.. Silly French design.. I can see plusses and minuses on the layout.. But the biggest issue I have is the making sure you plan it so someone doesnt come back to the room after you got out of the shower and may be standing right in the entrance lol..

Good video very informative. I was wondering if this was the cruise that went to Cozumel, Georgetown , Ocho Rios and great stirrup cay if so, can you tell me what the tender situation is like? I’m claustrophobic and I know sometimes the tender is completely enclosed I was just wondering if any of these tenders on this cruise Are enclosed or are they all open?
@TheAverageTourist4 ай бұрын
Yep that was the cruise!! The tenders we had were all open air, not the life boats like they use sometimes. The tender situation in Great Stirrup Cay was a bit chaotic to say the least and delayed due to weather conditions. In Georgetown it was absolutely fine. My video about our time in Georgetown will be up tomorrow morning and I share the tender boat experience. And I posted a video on GSC also sharing our tender boat rides if you want to check them our!

For the ‘water closet’ (toilet room), did you find that you could hear ‘noise’; say if someone had a rough tummy, or was the frosted glass door good at keeping the sounds in? (I know that this is a weird question - but for friends sharing a cabin, especially if one has tummy issues - this is a concern). 😊

Not a weird question at all given the layout of the room. You could definitely hear 'noise' even with the curtain drawn across to create more privacy.

So I do appreciate when the shower and toilet are in separate sections, but this is NOT what I envisioned LOL. I have been on a lot of cruises and I have never seen anything like that. Could someone be sitting on the sofa and you have the wardrobe doors open - it doesn't look like enough space there for that. Another weird choice!

It was definitely an odd set up for sure. And the curved couch was not comfortable for sitting on for watching TV because of the curve. Not that we spent time watching TV, but just an observation! And the bathroom was so weird!!

Nice video. What was your impression of the ship overall. I have seen some walk thru videos and the ship seems to be showing some wear and tear. I am sailing 2026, I understand it will have a refurb in April 2025. Wondering what overall shape the ship is in. Thanks
@TheAverageTourist4 ай бұрын
In general the ship seemed to be in good condition. Better than the Oasis of the Seas that we were on in October. I wonder if the refurb will change any of the layout to create more space between some of the bars. I found this ship seemed very compact and it created a lot of crowding in the public areas.
