Based on the timing of this video, I may have been on the same cruise as you, or at least the one after you. June 7-14, Boston to Bermuda to Bar Harbor to Boston.
Tom, have you been on Virgin yet? I found the balcony cabin very roomy for my friend and I. The cruise was 8 nights in the Caribbean and was the best vaca ever...
Thank you for the tip. I do plan on sailing with Virgin either at the end of this year or start of 2025. My next cruise will be on MSC (next week), followed by Princess and Celebrity. I am very excited to check out Virgin. How was the food? I heard it's very different concept.
My first ever cruise was on the Monarch of the Seas which has since been scrapped. One of the gentlemen in our group was a very large guy and he literally couldn't use the toilet in the room which forced him to use the public facilities. To top it off, he was a bit shy and was opposed to using public facilities. I don't think he ever did another cruise after that, lol I definitely wouldn't like the room in the video if it is that noisy.
It was either sit on the toilet side ways or walk up a few decks to use the public rest rooms. To be honest, that exhaust smell kept us out of the room for as long as possible. I was considering sleeping in the lounger outside.
The bathrooms are NOT the same - the balcony bathrooms have the toilet on one side and the tub on the other, each can be closed off by a sliding glass panel.

We booked a balcony cabin (10540). No complaints at all - but then again, NCL wasn't trying to asphyxiate us either!
I am glad you enjoyed your room!
We definitely had the whistling sound too... you have to press it once or twice to fix it.
Same here. I had to flush the toilet for it to stop. It's very annoying at 2 am!
I won’t be booking this room anytime soon,Tom. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers! 👍
You are very welcome, Mick! I got a few more videos from the NCL gem trip as well as some Celebrity Cruises news for you next week! Cheers!
Looking forward to it, buddy. 😊

Thanks for the video, Tom! ...well, we definitely won't be booking that cabin!
You are very welcome, Steven! It was horrible. I barely spent any time in the room. I considering sleeping on the lounger outside.
What was your room number?
Tom. I gave up on NCL many years ago after getting nickeled and dimed. Wasn’t a very pleasant cruise.
I agree. The nickle and diming is very annoying. I'll talk about that in my dining guide, but this was on another level. Exhaust smell was horrible.
The bathrooms are NOT the same - the balcony bathrooms have the toilet on one side and the tub on the other, each can be closed off by a sliding glass panel.
Thanks for clarity! That is a much nicer setup.
Unbelievable
