Creator's Key Takeaways

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

It really gives you great value because if you look at the numbers, you can about book three cruises in an interior cabin for the same price as two cruises in a balcony cabin.

There is no difference. And there's so many public areas throughout these ships for you to enjoy that you can find a place to sit and watch the sea go by.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the five-question checklist to decide between interior and balcony cabins.
✓Consider your itinerary: port-intensive cruises may not need a balcony.
✓For budget cruisers, interior cabins offer great value and allow for extra cruises.
✓If you need privacy or enjoy alone time, a balcony cabin is better.

Claustrophobia or dislike of confined spaces — Book a balcony cabin for fresh air and a private outdoor space.
Worry about missing out on the full cruise experience — Interior cabins offer the same food, activities, and ports; no experience is cut out.
