I Paid Extra For A Cabin Upgrade… Just For This

Normally when I book a cruise I book the cheapest cabin I can find, if its right at the end of the ship or under a nightclub, I don’t mind. I’ve just disembarked a cruise though where I did something very unlike me, I paid to upgrade to one of the biggest balconies on the entire ship. It was an upgrade that I definitely wasn’t sure if it would be worth it but one I was very excited about.

I have cruised on this ship before and last time I had an oceanview cabin, it was basic but I had no complaints about it. I enjoyed being able to see the view out of the window and the cabin itself although fairly old by cruise ship standards, it worked well. It was comfortable and totally fine.

UPDATE: The final count of money raised for charity from the latest version of Captain Hudson/First Mate Rolo is actually $31,227 (£22,949) !!!! I was estimating in the video when I said $25,000. It's a mind-blowing amount that'll change and save the lives of so many humans, dogs and cats. Thank you SO MUCH. 🥳❤

If you'd like to know when the next version is ready to order, please make sure I have your email address here: https://emmacruises.com/waitlist They'll always be raising money for charity. 🐕🏥

The latest versions have been dispatched so they should start arriving any day now. Exciting times!! 🐈🎁

Whenever I would get off the ship in port I would look back at the ship and I would wonder what it would be like in one of the large balcony cabins. It looked as though they were right back into the ship and I could see sunloungers on the balconies too which was interesting. Balconies usually just fit a couple of chairs.

I wondered if it would be worth it and how much more it would cost. I knew that it could be great and something I’d be missing out on this whole time but maybe it was one of those things you pay for but really don’t use. I was more than happy in my oceanview cabin so I tried to convince myself that I didn’t need to rock the boat, no pun intended.

When I found a sailing in January which was much cheaper than at other times of year, I thought to myself, this might actually be possible. When I priced it all up, the large balcony cabin price in January was actually cheaper than the price I’d paid for the oceanview cabin in July, so I decided to give it a go, I booked it while I was still onboard which meant that I could pick my cabins location without paying extra. That sweetened the deal.
