Creator's Key Takeaways

I can tell you this, inside cabins are one of the most underrated travel hacks in cruising.

Inside cabins are actually some of the quietest places on the entire cruise ship.

Inside cabins, the cheapest rooms on the ship, actually give you the best sleep you'll ever have on vacation.

Sometimes the best value isn't what gives you more. It's what gives you the freedom to enjoy everything else.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book early, then repric often to save money.
✓Choose an inside cabin that's sandwiched between other cabins away from noisy areas for better sleep.
✓Skip the balcony if your itinerary is port-intensive and you won't be in the room to enjoy the view.
✓Use the extra cash from booking an inside cabin for excursions, drinks, or even another cruise.

Inside cabins are cramped and claustrophobic — Cruise lines design inside cabins efficiently; they have full-sized closets, huge beds, and hidden shelving.
Missing out on views — Some inside cabins have virtual balconies with live outside views on newer ships.
