Creator's Key Takeaways

We've done balconies on all of our Alaska cruises, but if you're thinking about doing an inside cabin on your Alaska cruise, well, this video is for you

I don't know if Andrea really thought out doing this inside cabin thing, this inside cabin to Alaska. I know we did it to help people who are looking to do an inside cabin

I'm trying to work. And I'll tell you, the internet has been horrible. I went Oh, they're doing a uh sound check.

We are right above the piaza on deck 10 and I heard music until 11:00 last night and it was very loud.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use an alarm clock app because inside cabins are pitch black and you can easily sleep the day away.
Check the Princess Patter for daily programming and naturalist talks.
Be aware that strong winds can close outdoor deck areas.

Lack of natural light in inside cabinsUse an alarm clock to ensure you wake up since it stays dark.
Cost of balconies vs inside cabinsInside cabins are a way to save money, but you lose the view and may struggle to find workspace.

YouTube Video Description

Can you really enjoy an Alaska cruise without a balcony? Day 2 on Star Princess is our first full sea day sailing Alaska in an inside cabin — and this is where the experiment starts to feel real. We wake up in total darkness, use the bridge camera as our window to the outside world, check the Princess Patter for the day’s Alaska programming, and find out what happens when strong winds close part of the outdoor deck space. We have sailed Alaska before, but we always booked a balcony. This time, we chose an inside cabin to see whether we would miss the views, the daylight, and having a private place to step outside. We also share what is happening around Star Princess on a chilly Alaska sea day: naturalist talks, glacier and whale programs, the busy Dome, the Captain’s Champagne Soirée, Viva La Musica, and our decision to book a small-boat Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier excursion that will bring us into Juneau. Will an inside cabin make us get out and experience more of the ship… or will we start wishing we had our Alaska balcony back? This is Day 2 of our 7-day Star Princess Alaska Inside Cabin series. #StarPrincess #AlaskaCruise #InsideCabin ❤️ Love Traveling with Us? Want to help support Hubbard’s Journey?
