Creator's Key Takeaways
We've sailed on many different cruise lines and we've sailed Alaska many times and we always got a balcony.
When you book an inside cabin, it's really not made for, you know, checking things out outside. It's really made for sleep.

We have cruised Alaska several times, and we have always booked a balcony… until now. For this 7-day Star Princess Alaska cruise, we intentionally gave up our balcony for an inside cabin. Everyone says Alaska is the cruise where you NEED a balcony for the views, wildlife, sailaways, and glacier days. But with Alaska cruise fares, port fees, and excursions adding up quickly, we wanted to find out what it is really like to sail Alaska without a window or balcony. In Day 1, we board Star Princess in Seattle, step inside our no-window cabin for the first time, show the bridge camera that becomes our “window,” share a few important inside-cabin planning tips, find public viewing areas around the ship, and sail away past the Seattle skyline. This is Day 1 of our 7-day Star Princess Alaska Inside Cabin series. Along the way, we will share what changes when you cruise Alaska in an inside cabin: public viewing spots, sea days, Ketchikan, Dawes Glacier, Juneau, Skagway, Victoria, excursions, cabin reality, and whether the savings are actually worth it. Have you sailed Alaska in an inside cabin? Did you miss having a balcony, or did getting out and exploring the ship make it a better cruise experience? #StarPrincess #AlaskaCruise #InsideCabin Thank you for coming along on our journey ❤️ Love Traveling with Us?
