Hi I'm David from Cruise Show UK and in this video we're going to take you on a tour of our
standard balcony cabin. It's cabin 10617 on deck 10 of the Iona, let's go and have a look.
So come on in and we're starting in the bed area. It's a lovely big bed and on either side you've
got um, shelving units with one, two, there's three shelves there on either side, a nice little
light there and underneath the light you've got a USB-A socket. You've got a reading light as well.
there are main cabin lights and on this side of the bed you've got a three pin uk plug socket
but you don't have it on that side it's only on this one side um but you do have uh more light
switches over on that side as well but it looks a lovely bed nice and comfortable the fabrics are
nice, they're nice, they're not fantastic um and considering this is a brand new ship
I, I thought they would have been a bit nicer quality. On that side of the bed you've got
the large wardrobe. It really is a large wardrobe area but there is quite a narrow space here to get
to the wardrobe. um yeah it's not a brilliant design but anyway, so in the the far, uh,
uh section, you've got a nice shelf at the top there. It's quite big,
there's a hair dryer in there as well and then you've got your standard mini safe, a decent size
place to hang your clothes in that section. In the second section it's all, uh shelves. There's six
large shelves, a really good size, go right the way back. You could get a lot of clothes in there
six shelves in that second section. And then in this, this is the main wardrobe area, it is
a bit awkward but it's quite a big wardrobe so plenty of room there lots of hangers and uh well
you have got some more space up there I guess you could put those under the bed there's quite
a large space up there um, but it is, it's all a bit awkward. Moving on into the lounge area then
it's a as it's quite a compact area really the the cabin narrows in uh a little bit here
um but it's you know it's it's all very nice um it's got a good sofa which
feels quite comfortable um you've got a lovely big screen opposite. Yeah one thing I will say,
the cabin, it might not come across on the camera very well, the cabin doesn't feel very bright um
it just feels a little bit dim. And I mean there is light lighting in the room, but it just
feels uh, a little bit dim. I would have liked to, to be a bit brighter. But anyway back to this uh,
section. So you've got this lovely sofa and you've got this pull-out table, coffee table,
nice artwork on the wall there. Opposite the sofa you've got a vanity area with a large mirror,
uh, nice sturdy chair there and you've got a kettle there and tea and coffee making facilities
here. And what else have you got. Underneath there you've got a cabinet which has got your
fridge and then there's two shelves in there. They're not very, they don't go back very far,
but still useful to have that there. You've got two three pin UK sockets
and there's one European socket there. And then you've got some more light switches
for this area. There's a telephone there and a bin. Oh actually, there's one more
cupboard. Again not very deep um, but it's good to have some more storage. Let's go and have a look
at the balcony. Now I'm quite impressed with the size of the balcony, it's really deep um
plenty of room here. You're not cramped at all, you've got two chairs which are recline back,
which are quite nice and a little table. And that's about it for the balcony, but the,
the size of it is great um and I quite like that you've got a little bit there, that's uh,
shaded from the cabins above um, but you have got this open part here as well um, I, I'm impressed
with the balcony I think it's the best part of the room. Let's go and have a look at the bathroom.
So actually, I think this is probably my favourite part of the cabin. I love this little bathroom,
it's got a real beach house vibe to it. um the floor is a real nautical theme
um and it's lovely and bright in here. Um, so you've got this nice vanity area,
I love the mirror with the lighting that's really good and the products are from the white company,
which is really good. You've got two good sized shelves there for all your cosmetics and things
and there's another two large shelves just below there. Plenty of white fluffy towels, they're nice
towels as well. This is the shower and it's a good size shower, I'm impressed with it.
Again you've got white company shampoo and conditioner and you've got shower gel as well.
um but it's a good size shower lovely and clean, oh there's a washing line above there to dry your
swimsuits and things. I just wanted to give you a quick update after staying in our cabin
for almost a week now and i've got to tell you about the bed. The bed is very uncomfortable
I feel I haven't had a good night's sleep at all
which is unusual, I usually do get a good night's sleep on the ship. But I haven't had
a good night's sleep. I feel like I've slept on a sofa for a week, it's been really hard,
the mattress and the quality of the bedding isn't great, the pillows aren't brilliant and the duvet,
is quite, it feels quite a cheap duvet. So yeah that's my quick update for you,
uh the most important thing about the cabin, has been the worst thing about the cabin.
So I will just add in the best part about the cabin has definitely been the balcony.
It's extra deep, plenty of space out there. If you like this video please give it a thumbs up
