Reasons to Choose an Inside Cabin

Advantages of an Inside Cabin

Inside staterooms offer all the essentials that their pricier counterparts do, including beds, bathrooms, and storage, plus access to 24-hour room service. However, there are some added perks to choosing an inside cabin:

• With no windows, you can enjoy restful sleep in complete darkness, free from the morning sun’s glare waking you up.

• With no views to distract you, you’ll likely spend more time exploring the ship than you might have otherwise.

• You can take comfort in knowing you’re enjoying all the ship’s amenities while having paid significantly less than many other cruisers.

The Most Budget-Friendly Cruising Choice

If sticking to your vacation budget is a priority, an inside cabin is your best bet for affordability. Consider this: if you’re a budget-conscious traveler who opts for an inside cabin, you might be able to enjoy more cruises due to your savings! Alternatively, you could use the extra funds for specialty dining or shore excursions. Either way, you’re enhancing both your vacation budget and your overall experience!

Who Should Consider an Inside Stateroom?

Here are some key factors to keep in mind when deciding on an inside cabin:

• Do you have a tendency to feel claustrophobic? If that’s the case, a balcony stateroom might be a better fit for you.

• Are you prone to seasickness? While most inside cabins are located in the ship’s interior, you might prefer an oceanview or balcony stateroom instead.

• Do you intend to spend very little time in your room? If so, an inside cabin could be the perfect option!

How much time will you actually spend in your cabin?

During my stays in an inside stateroom, I primarily went there to change clothes, grab forgotten items, or cozy up in bed for the night. Beyond that, I spent my time either exploring ports or enjoying other areas of the ship, participating in activities or simply relaxing. If you’re looking for great views, you can always head up to the deck for stunning 360° panoramas.

Selecting Your Inside Stateroom

Here’s a quick comparison of stateroom sizes: a Studio Stateroom for solo travelers measures 99 square feet; an Inside Stateroom is 135 square feet, while an Oceanview Stateroom is 161 square feet. So, the size difference may not be substantial depending on your cruising preferences. You still have options regarding your location on the ship: for less movement, steer clear of the bow and aft (very front and back), or choose to be near or far from the elevators or pool. And while the lack of natural light might seem challenging at first, you can always turn on the TV for views from the bridge and the latest ship updates, including current weather conditions.
