Nowhere to Hide: I Stayed in The Weirdest Cruise Ship Cabin

Рет қаралды 1,406,118

Жыл бұрын

I’ve just disembarked a cruise where I stayed in a cabin that had a feature I never knew existed onboard cruise ships. It certainly was a weird one and I spent most of the week trying to work out why the cruise line made this decision.
Normally when you look at cruise ship cabins they are pretty similar across all the cruise lines and all the ships, they’re usually made in the same factories and theres not really all that much variety that can happen in a space that usually around 9 foot wide. They will change the funishings of course but they still have to fit in a bathroom, a bed and some storage and that’s usually most of the space.
The ship that I booked this cruise on was the Costa Smeralda which is a relatively new cruise ship built in 2019. I decided to treat myself and booked a balcony cabin and I’m glad I did because thats where I found the bizarre feature. The description for the cabin said ‘Private Bathroom’ but that wasn’t exactly the case.
I booked what is called a guaranteed balcony cabin which meant that I didn’t pick the specific location of the cabin. Usually this means that you get the left over cabins that others didn’t pick but it is cheaper and I’ve never regretted the choice to do that before. I’ve had cabins right at the back of the ship, right at the front, underneath nightclubs, you name it. On this cruise though I was surprised by my cabin location.

A glass wall to a shower/bathroom in a hotel room is a feature in many hotels now, especially in Las Vegas. It allows for natural light in an inside bathroom where there are no windows. It also allows for a "show" if desired.

I took a Rhine river cruise last year and spent a few days in Amsterdam before getting on the ship. The hotel I was staying in had a very similar setup for the bathrooms as well, I thought it was very strange as an American but chocked it up to just being a quirky design choice in the recently renovated hotel and possibly a European design thing. (Never seen it before on other Europe trips) But now seeing you see this and think it's strange just cemented the idea that somewhere someone has a very strange idea on what a normal bathroom should look like.

Some newer hotel (on land!) designs have clear walls for the shower area, to make the room feel more spacious, or for some rooms I stayed in, because they thought it gave the design a "modern" appeal. The most fancy/risky one I've personally experienced is the Hyatt in Tokyo, where the full bathroom area (toilet and shower) were completely covered by glass walls, BUT, the minute you stepped in the bathroom space, and sensed a human being (I think that was the trigger), the walls automatically fogged up. Good thing I was by myself in the room, but at least the automatic fogging never failed!

It’s a weird “feature”. I’ve seen it in hotels, albeit infrequently. For a time, it was de riguer in W brand hotels, for instance. Around the world, I’ve seen it most frequently in Germany and Austria, where it’s most typically a window like in your cabin, but occasionally the entire shower (sides and entrance) is in the room itself, versus the WC. And, no, these haven’t been in hotels marketing themselves as “adult”. 😅

I'm going with they had in the plans access to the shower from the cabin, which would be nice as ship bathrooms can be a bit tight for 2+, and at the last minute realized the carpets would be constantly wet and create issues. Thus they simply threw the glass into this opening as it was the cheapest fix.

You were lucky-I’ve never seen them provide a curtain 😂. It is so cute that you found this remarkable enough to discuss when you were traveling with your partner!

Hey Emma, This window in the shower thing is very common in hotels in Asia. We ran into this in Thailand in November. There was a blind you could lower but it was on the bathroom side, much better I think. It did bring natural light into the bathroom but I suspect the window is for more shall we say romantic reasons for couples. Someone did suggest that if you're a man and you bring a girl back to your room, you can keep an eye on her while you use the facilities to make sure she isn't going through your stuff. That said, I just wanted to let you know that I'm finally going on my first cruise on Friday and I'll be able to finally use all the great info you have shared on your channel. I'm Alaska bound!

I'd be playing with the curtain while my husband's showering, like a little kid! 😆😆😆😆😆

Hi, just one question, how was the temperature control in the cabin?. Was it easy to use and effective?. We've been on a few cruises and found the A/C not up to scratch when it's really hot outside.

Yep was good, generally newer ships = better AC 😀❤️

When I was living and travelling in China pre-pandemic, almost all of the hotels that I stayed at had a glass wall between the shower and the room. There was usually a curtain or blind that you could close if you wanted, but not always. Awkward when travelling with a 9 year old. Yeah, it was weird.

3:25 in Canada a purse is the same ... but also includes any women's handbag that is not huge, and does not include clutches. If men carry one it is usually just called a bag.

It's so you can still get an ocean view from your bathroom, it's a new design concept in a few high end luxury rooms to increase the scenic rooms, privacy with a view.

Emma, loge your videos and insite- thanks for all that you do. I ordered our Hudson plush and the company seems to be gouging on your charitable cause. I ordered two Hudson plushes and they charged shipping like it was two separate orders (2×$7).

Yeah I ordered 5 and had to pay 5x!! Haha. It’s just how they do it. Thanks so much for ordering, exciting!!! 😀

@Emma Cruises It's such a great cause and you always do so much to give back- ordering our own Hudsons is the least I could do!

Stayed in a modern style hotel in Amsterdam last year with a glass bathroom. The view from the room to the toilet was blocked but not the view to the shower. Very strange.
