...you'd be surprised!

What it is:
An interior cabin has no windows and no natural light — but don’t let that scare you.

Why people love it:

• Most affordable cabin option

• Dark, quiet rooms = amazing sleep

• Same access to ship amenities as every other guest

• Leaves more budget for excursions, dining, or upgrades elsewhere

Things to consider:

• No natural light or outside views

• Can feel smaller if you spend a lot of time in your room

Best for:

• Budget-conscious travelers

• First-time cruisers testing the waters

• Travelers who plan to be out exploring all day

• Short cruises or port-heavy itineraries

💡 Interior cabins are perfect if your room is just a place to sleep and recharge.

What it is:
An oceanview cabin includes a window or porthole that lets in natural light — but it does not open.

Why people love it:

• Natural daylight makes the room feel larger

• More affordable than balcony cabins

• Great middle-ground between interior and balcony

Things to consider:

• No fresh air

• Some windows may be partially obstructed depending on location

Best for:

• Travelers who want daylight without paying for a balcony

• First-time cruisers wanting an upgrade from interior

• Guests who enjoy ocean views but don’t need outdoor space

💡 Oceanview cabins are often the best “value upgrade” on a cruise.

What it is:
A private outdoor balcony where you can step outside, enjoy fresh air, and watch the ocean roll by.

Why people love it:

• Morning coffee or sunset views in privacy

• Makes sea days more enjoyable

• Perfect for scenic itineraries

• Adds a peaceful retreat from busy ship areas

Things to consider:

• Higher cost than interior or oceanview

• Balcony size and privacy vary by ship and location

Best for:

• Couples

• Scenic cruises (Alaska, Mediterranean, Panama Canal)

• Travelers who value quiet moments and views

💡 For many cruisers, balconies are the sweet spot between comfort and experience.

What it is:
Suites offer more space, upgraded amenities, and often exclusive benefits depending on the cruise line.

Why people love it:

• Separate living and sleeping areas (on many ships)

• Priority boarding, dining, or concierge access

• More storage and room to spread out

• Ideal for special occasions or longer cruises

Things to consider:

• Highest price point

• Perks vary significantly by cruise line and suite category

Best for:

• Families or multi-generational travel

• Milestone trips (anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations)

• Travelers who want comfort, space, and extra service

💡 Suites aren’t just about luxury — they’re about convenience and comfort.
