Cruise holidays are the ultimate way to travel for many. It's a chance to travel from country to country without actually raising your fingers. When you sleep in one country, you will wake up in another country with a ready breakfast waiting for you.
Modern cruise ships often carry between 3,000 and 6,000 passengers at a time, so you can also make several friends along the way. However, there are so many people around you that it can be difficult to find peace in the moment when you leave the chaos. Now, cruise experts have revealed that one location on the ship is not as private as you think.
The cabin you choose for your voyage plays an important role in the overall experience – a place to explore the harbor after a busy day and refresh yourself before returning to one of the ship's many restaurants.
There are different cabins on all budgets too. The cheapest are windowless interior cabins, interior cabins with small pores, balcony cabins with their own private deck space, and the most luxurious suites.
For those who enjoy the fresh air and watch the sunset or the ocean pass by, a balcony cabin is their biggest choice. Here you can enjoy morning coffee, perhaps room service, without having to wear clothes.
However, cruise expert Tanner Callais at Cruzely.com has revealed that even your own balcony is not as private as you think.
“The balcony of the cabin has walls to protect you from adjacent rooms, but the walls often don't go from floor to ceiling,” Kareis explained on his YouTube channel.
“They can easily look down and look around their sides, even if someone is a coincidence,” the YouTuber added.
“Take this to keep in mind if you're out on your balcony when the mood of romance strikes.”
This is especially important if you are assigned a room like the garden view balcony on a Royal Caribbean Oasis Class ship. Here, two interior areas are open to the sky from one of the Central Park and the Boardwalk.
Royal Caribbean uses this clever trick to add more balconies to the ship, with each side lined with a cabin. Of course, this means that instead of the balcony facing the ocean, you will face more cabins on the other side.
