Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising for decades and I've discovered that for me the interior cabin works the best.

You can about book three cruises in an interior cabin for the same price as two cruises in a balcony cabin.

If you're a very social cruiser or ship people, they're never in their room.

A balcony is the best cabin for you because it is a rather private paradise that you have all to yourself.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the five-question checklist to decide which cabin is best for your next cruise.
Book an interior cabin for port-intensive itineraries to save money.
Choose a balcony if you get claustrophobic or prefer private outdoor space.
