INSIDE, OUTSIDE and BALCONY Cabins - Full Room Tours - Costa Smeralda

Costa Smeralda is a huge Italian mega cruise ship, owned and operated by the Carnival Corporation under the Costa Cruises brand. Smeralda is one of the newest cruise ships from Costa, and is an Excellence-class ship. If you recognise this ship class title, you've perhaps seen some of her sister ships: Costa Toscana, P&O Iona or P&O Arvia, to name just a few.

In this video today, I'm going to show you three different cabins, which will hopefully help you to see what Costa Smeralda could deliver for your vacation. Those 3 cabin types are: Inside, Outside, and Balcony. For additional room types, these will be posted in individual videos over on my channel - be sure to check out the 'Costa Cruises' tab to see more!

I’m actually really shocked how lovely those cabins are. They look high end and the colours are lovely. Due to being a solo cruiser I always have an inside cabin and I would happily stay in one of those. Thanks for opening our eyes to that ship

I'm usually an inside gal, but I am not a fan of that one. You say it feels big... I was thinking it films small. I am not a fan of the decorating choices...but I think the inside cabins on Princess seem larger, have abundant storage (in comparison), and are more comfy.

The balcony was ok...but I don't often choose to spend my vacation dollars for private, outside space when I'm out and about the ship as much as I am.

For me, the winner was the oceanview. It would give me any of the extra space that I would want from a balcony without having to pay the upgrade for the outside area within my own room. Plus, I really did like the vanity. I wonder why they didn't add that to the balcony room.

Always love a window seat and that one on the outside cabin would be an amazing spot to watch the ocean!!

Balcony every time. Stateroom styling is lovely.

Great stuff Fraser. Editing on point and loved the commentary.

Do know what I would stay in all three I love the decor, very different to any other cruise lines!! That seat is just like Arvia and Iona, does it have deck 8 cabins like arvia?

😂 I saw those glass windows in shower before on Emma cruises!! It must of been done to get a talking point, I have never been in cruise shower and thought “mmm would love to see the rest of cabin” 🤣

All their decor is nice. I like all the colors/walls. They do have very good bathrooms. I'm always a balcony person, even with the cost difference. I enjoy fresh air and being able to step out any time I want to. Thanks Fraser!

Lovely cabins, we’ve never sailed with Costa enjoy your travels.

If price is not an option, I'd go with the balcony cabin hands down. But, knowing that the budget is going to be the biggest concern when I return to cruising in the future, inside will do fine as long as it is clean and quiet, after all, most of my time will be on deck and in ports. Also appreciate your "drama free" cruising experiences...really, really appreciate it!! Looking forward to where you will be taking us next! Bruce and Otis

I'm gonna need some sort of schedule/spreadsheet to work out where you are, or where you were, and when. It's a 4th dimension conundrum! But it must be worse for you ! 😂 oh, btw great video, Fraser, thanks!

The fake marble looks good, perfect size for one.

[coasttocoasters]

Solo, I;d be happy with any! I think if I have a full family of four, I'd go for a Balcony!

What surprised me the most is the lack of refrigerators in Costa Smeralda cabins. 🤔
