Creator's Key Takeaways

I once booked an interior cabin for a 12- night Mediterranean cruise and ended up spending less than my friend who chose a balcony for just seven nights.

I've had better sleep in a pitch black interior cabin than in any luxury hotel suite on land.

Interior cabins seem to encourage something we often forget in our busy lives back home. Connection.

That room, it held me. I cried quietly my first night at sea. I laughed out loud the next afternoon...

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book an interior cabin to save hundreds or thousands of dollars per trip.
✓Choose a midship, lower-deck interior cabin to minimize motion and seasickness.
✓Focus on the journey and social opportunities rather than the view from your room.

Feeling boxed in without a window — You'll likely feel freer and less distracted, focusing more on the journey.
Missing out on the ocean view — The best views are on deck at sunrise or during social activities, not from your room.
Poor sleep due to light or noise — Interior cabins provide pitch-black darkness and quiet, leading to better rest.
