SummerBeee Posted September 16, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Total darkness during the day (or nights if sailing in the far north during summer) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdawson30 Posted September 16, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I would like to thank the casino for sending us free inside rooms (which we can upgrade for a very small price if we want to) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booplesnoople Posted September 16, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2021 As a first time inside cabin goer on Mariner this fall, I will be absolutely appalled if the concierge isn't able to get us reservations in WJ. Could someone tell me where the inside sun deck is, and whether or not it has a view of the ocean? Or maybe show me on the deck plans where the Gold lounge is? I hope it goes without saying that I'm being facetious and I'm happy to just be back on a ship at all in my inside cabin! Normally get a balcony cuz I'm claustrophobic so this will be an experience all its own. Then again, I plan to spend as many of my waking hours away from the cabin as possible! 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted September 16, 2021 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2021 why complain about it, we did inside cabins for years as that is all we could afford! Then we went to OV. Now we do nothing but balconies. Inside cabins are fine for those that like darker rooms and cheaper prices. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted September 16, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I always had to duck into the stateroom while no one else was in the hall, to avoid the dreaded "inside traveler" stigma. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear it as a badge of pride when people are paying 4 x the price but we are basically getting 90% of the same cruise experience. Exactly how much time does anyone spend awake in their room? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted September 16, 2021 #16 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I always sign up for the cabin crawl when sailing inside. I purposely leave a stack of hundreds on the desk when a small sign that says; "The money I saved this cruise" I also want a t-shirt that says; "the entire top deck is my balcony". 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paross4 Posted September 16, 2021 #18 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I lose sleep before the cruise worrying about the bed location. Is it by the wall, or is it by the bulkhead? argh..... 😉 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruises have Booked last yr some the OV's are more expensive then Balconies that offered great SOLO prices/Discounts. Haven't done Inside in 21yrs but still compare prices every time. That's reason usually don't usually get Suites, what save with a couple Balcony's can Book another 1-2 legs on my B2B's... My first Cruises on Royal Ships didnt have a Single Balcony, even Suites were only OV Window's. Grateful we all have choices that make us Happy, IN, OV, Bal or Suites... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you are on a ship does not mean you have to be out & about needing constant stimulation 24/7. Some of people need to act like you have been there before... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
