Why I Don’t Pay for a Balcony Living on Cruise Ships Full-time

Most people dream about having a balcony cabin on a cruise ship. So why would someone choose a windowless inside cabin instead? After living on cruise ships full-time for more than three and a half years, my husband and I have discovered that an interior cabin isn't the sacrifice many people think it is. In fact, for long-term cruise living, it can have some surprising advantages. In this video, I share how we make an inside cabin feel like home, the practical storage solutions we use every day, and why we've come to appreciate features like complete darkness for sleeping, better temperature control, and a quieter environment. I also compare inside staterooms to cabins with balconies, including the situations where I absolutely think a balcony is worth the extra cost.
