Our Worst Cruise Cabin and Neighbors Experience

TLDROur seven-night cruise was ruined by a tiny and poorly designed cabin, as well as our disrespectful neighbors who constantly made noise and threatened violence. We tried to be respectful and keep the noise down, but it was a difficult experience.

Key insights

👥Our cabin was very small and had poor functionality, with limited storage and a shower door that didn't open all the way.

📺Our neighbors constantly blasted the TV at maximum volume, especially on news channels, and made disrespectful comments.

🗣️Our neighbors also made rude and threatening remarks about violence if things didn't go their way in the political landscape.

👁️We debated whether to report our neighbors to guest services, but ultimately chose to try and handle the situation ourselves by being respectful and limiting our noise.

We advise against booking connecting cabins near the front on this cruise ship to avoid similar experiences.
