With most mainstream cruise lines it’s pretty common for a cruise ship to have at least a third of its cabins inside in the ship without any windows. That can often mean thousands of inside cabins on the big ships but I’ve just disembarked a luxury cruise ship where I had 1 of only 23 inside cabins on the entire ship.
I’ve been cruising with budget and mainstream cruise lines for years and I’m very used to cruising in the cheapest cabin on the ship. I do everything I can to reduce the cost and I’ve had some interesting cabins are a result.
Most luxury cruise ships don’t have inside cabins at all so when I saw an inside cabin available on the luxury cruise ship Azamara onward. I decided to book it.
Feeling hungry? Here’s everything I ate on my Azamara Cruise! https://emmacruises.com/azamarafood/

The link to the next video doesn’t seem to be working and I can’t fix it on ship Wi-Fi, so here’s the link, it’s the latest video on my channel https://youtu.be/KMDuPRnkbrs 😀❤️
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I always keep the room tidy ish. Mostly because I don’t like people touching or moving my stuff and not because I’m excessively neat. I’m not a neat person by nature but I do appreciate the effort and know that it isn’t my job to make the stewards job harder.
Hi Emma, we were on the Onward earlier this year, about to board the Quest in Dubai later today as we enjoyed Azamara so much. We had heard about the shower curtain so took magnets to hold it in place. Can verify it works! Keep up the good work, love your channel x
Nap on the toilet 😂😂😂😂
I don't know why but I just laughed and laughed about your little asides. Very entertaining.
I have close to zero interest in cruises, with the exception of Antarctica, North Pole and possible Alaska on a small boat. Too cramped. But young lady Emma is adorable to watch.
This is too funny. I was cruising on NCL at the same time and I brought a tape measure and couldn't remember why and was baffled at my packing. It was to check the dimensions of my luggage for the airline but i totally forgot.
Do you ever travel by yourself, and do you have to pay for two? That's one thing that keeps me from taking a cruise.
We cruised the Onward in Sept. Everything was wonderful..loved the small intimate surroundings…loved the attention one gets because they remember you… we had a seaview cabin very nice…ok bathroom was small but efficient…I mean my husband is 200lb and had no problem whatsoever taking a shower….!Did not notice any broken things! We would love to take another cruise with Azamara…budget permitting!!
Luxury? You must be kidding!
You don't need to take a ruler or use a toothpaste tube. The iPhone has a built-in ruler app that is quite accurate.
That shower looks like it's even smaller than the one in my travel trailer. I didn't think that was possible without it just being a wet bath.
I just got off of Carnival Magic last week, the initial roll of toilet paper was so insanely thin. However, the replacement rolls were normal thickness. Super odd 😂
Love your videos and I may consider Azamara! Thanks as always
I was on the Azamara Pursuit in May and also read before that everybody was complaining about the showers. Although I am substainally "more" than you Emma, I never had a problem with the shower curtain or flooded the bath. Maybe my childhood with showering in a bathtub has trained my technic for mini showers.
US biscuits are good, too!
And of course the best biscuit is the hob nob (as pictured).
What’s wrong with me? I’ve never been on a cruise and have no desire to go on one and yet I can’t stop watching these videos. Lol. Very entertaining. Thank you.
I vote that measuring things in unconventional units become a thing, Micarah Tewers style (she and her channel are very different from you and your channel) but I think you could make it your own. You have a beautifully subtle sense of humor.
I really like that you give both the good and bad with each cruise you go on. I really enjoy watching your videos. I have never been on a cruise before so your videos are very educational. keep up the awesome work
you phone has apps that will measure things…has had them for years.
Hee hee, All the regular cabins on all those ships have small showers with curtains that stick to you. Its a runnng joke but its a fondness joke in a way. The showers function quite well, you just have to figure out how to make them behave. I tend to wet the bottom of the curtain, then stick them to the side of the little wall. I then kind of step down on them to pull them tight and voila lots of room. We went on a 21 day btb 14 day cruise in cabin 7048 around South America December 2018 on the Azamara Pursuit! Its first trip around. We loved it!
In the usa, at hotels, if we leave lots of trash, or towels, or don’t have time to clean up before leaving for the last time, we will leave a tip for the maids depending on the size of the room and how cluttered the room, but usually around $20.
I love watching other people enjoying life. It means I don't have to. It's almost like I'm experiencing life vicariously and I'm fine with that… who needs a life, when you're appeased by the tube!
The problem with many of these cruise ships that they are older and refurbished. As you say it is very difficult to change once built, public rooms are easier, cabin layouts look to be almost impossible, soft furnishings less so. We were on Sky Princess a month or so ago, a brand new ship but even so some of the drawers were flimsy. You have to go with the flow and just enjoy the cruise.
Any cruise I've been on ive had 'steerage' cabins. I usually think of it as just a place to sleep
Emma, I stumbled across you're channel and you seem like a girl that would be fun to meet! How would one contact you personally 😉
Last January I went on 7 days cruise to Western Caribbean and I paid $640, and I just booked a cruise for next January and I paid $1500. What's going on, why prices more than double?
Hey Emma! I just wanted your thoughts on the brand new Macworld class? Will you consider it? Have you looked into it? And what do you think,sc will do with this class in the future?
I can help you with the measuring with items on hand. My Mom the math teacher taught me that a US paper dollar is 6.14 inches long. Not as accurate as a ruler or a toothpaste tube , but I've used it in a pinch. 😊
At 3:38 you say the inside cabins are 15 square feet. I think you mean 15 square meters (~161 square feet), no?
When I see tissue paper type toilet paper, I have to wonder if the supplier is a frustrated paper flower maker, or just has no idea what the product is actually used for. Lol
So many floors hotel on water…
If you have an iPhone Apple did release a measuring app which can be a bit wonky but overall pretty effective — that isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy seeing the toothpaste measuring process XD
So looking to book a cruise for me and my GF and want a balcony. What do you think about virgin?
You are never boring, the information is always relevant and interesting. 🛳🚢🌊
Bizarre. I've been British all my life, hundreds of years almost, and never, ever heard the phrase "Risk if for a biscuit"
Missed the opportunity for the "nice" after saying your cabin name.
What a solid no nonsense review, maximum qudos, subbed
Use the measure app on your iphone.
Azamara has such a wonderful room design and I’m in love with it! Can I marry a cabin?
I just wanna say that here in Texas we say "Risk it for the Brisket" for the same reason.
We cruised on that ship with Princess. It was an ok ship, we did enjoyed it.
Measuring hint – if you don't have a measuring tape, then a sheet of a4 paper is 21 cm wide and almost exactly 30 cm long.
I sailed on that ship as the Pacific Princess in the same cabin type. I loved the ship.
Just wanted to say that I've been in a bathroom in an RV that had a shower that was larger than that.
