Therefore, the cheapest way to cruise is generally in an inside cabin. On all big ships, the base rates you see are for interior rooms. Prices will typically increase for more desirable inside cabins with extra space or in a prime location, and rooms with windows or balconies.
Depending on the ship and the length of your cruise, opting for an interior room can save hundreds of dollars more than a room with a view. For shorter itineraries, like a two-night getaway on Royal Caribbean, you could find an ocean view for $50 more than an inside cabin, while on a seven-night Carnival cruise, you could find savings of $460 when opting for an inside over an outside.
Prices will vary by cruise line, ship, itinerary, the length of your journey and how far in advance you book your cruise, with more savings on the cost per night the longer you sail. While both of these cabin options are among the most affordable options on board, the cheaper inside cabin fares could mean the difference between sailing the high seas or waving bon voyage from the dock.
Inside rooms offer nearly the same amount of cabin space as ocean-view rooms. Both are much smaller than the hotel rooms you might be used to, but ship designers optimize the space to pack a lot in and make the rooms not feel cramped.
In fact, private balconies have become so popular that new ships are being built with fewer window rooms. The ship designers add balconies to every outside cabin they can. If you want to sail on a new ship and save by booking an outside room instead of a balcony, you may have trouble finding available cabins unless you book early.
Whether an inside or outside cabin is best for you depends on how you intend to spend your time on the ship. Cruise lines excel at getting you out of your cabin and into the action on the ship or in the port. Schedules are filled with myriad activities in and around the ship to keep you occupied, so it is more than possible to use your cabin simply for sleeping.
Balcony cabins are popular with cruisers because each comes with a small, private veranda. The floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors let in lots of light to brighten the interior cabin space. Then, when you need fresh air or a quiet place to read or gaze out to sea, you can step out onto the attached balcony.
Standard balconies are furnished with two chairs and a small table. On many ships, you can set your room service breakfast tray on the table to enjoy a morning meal outdoors in your pajamas. Larger balconies may have room for a fully reclining lounge chair or a foot rest for your chair.
Older ships will not offer many balcony cabins, but on newer ships, balcony cabins make up the largest percentage of all cruise rooms. You can find a variety of balcony cabin types, but the best balcony cabins come with extra-large verandas or special in-cabin perks.
Oceanview cabins, also called outside cabins, are a compromise between inside cabins and balcony cabins. Like balcony cabins, outside cabins offer natural light. But like inside cabins, oceanviews do not have access to fresh air or a private outdoor space.
Instead, outside cabins provide ocean views through rectangular picture windows or round portholes. You can use these windows to see out and let light in, but you can't open them to let in fresh air. Outside cabins are often a similar size to inside cabins, though they can be bigger.
The exception to this rule is that specialty outside cabins (such as spa or family cabins) might be priced higher than standard balcony cabins because they come with extra perks. In addition, cruise lines will occasionally have sales when balconies are priced the same as outsides. Keep an eye out for these, or check with a travel agent, if you need to save money but would love a balcony cabin.
An older ship like Vision of the Seas presents a very different scenario. On that ship, only one deck offers standard balcony cabins; most of the accommodations with balconies are higher-priced suites. Outside cabins, unlike on Oasis, are plentiful and can be found on every cabin deck and centrally located, as well.
