Ella, a performer in Mamma Mia! The Musical aboard Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas has taken us to TikTok to give us an insider's view of cruise ship cabin life. Her viral video reveals the cozy yet cramped quarters she shares with her friend and colleague, Samara. The TikTok clip by Ella (@elladv_) shows their shared cabin, complete with bunk beds adorned with personal photos, offering a glimpse into the space-saving living conditions of cruise staff.
A Royal Caribbean employee was recently caught recording passengers without their knowledge. A curtain around each bunk provides privacy, while storage is limited to under-bed areas and a single drawer. The cabin includes a wardrobe, bedside drawers, and shelves despite the small size.
Ella comments on their efforts to create a warm atmosphere: "We wanted to really make our cabin look cozy because when you're living here for nine months at a time, you want it to feel as homely as possible," highlighting the walls decorated with plants and photos. Ella also showcases how they maximize their space, pointing out separate drawers, a laundry bin, and a sunrise alarm clock on a fold-out table, which compensates for the lack of natural light: "We don't have a port hole so we never see natural light," she says. "This turns itself on in the morning so at least we don't wake up in pitch black every day.
