Ahoy there cruisers!
In this episode we're going to tell you our top ten reasons
why booking an inside cabin is a good idea.
We've done our research
and we've looked at inside cabins across various cruise lines
and we're going to tell you
how you can save a small fortune by booking an inside cabin
so stick with us.
So number one on our list is saving a ton of money by booking an
inside cabin you can sometimes get a cabin and half the price of a balcony or
an outside cabin.
Which means that you can cruise twice as often.
Exactly! For some people is a choice of cruising in a inside cabin
or not cruising at all.
So, which one would you choose
I know what I would choose
Also if you're not sure about a cruise line
do a quick taster cruise with a cruise liner and book an inside cabin
so that you're not wasting loads of money just in case you don't like that cruise line
So, number two following on from number one
is think about all
that extra money that you're gonna have by booking an inside cabin
and what you could be using that money for
in some cases it's such a big discount that that
could be your entire spending money
Yes, think about all the cash you
can spend on shore or pay for excursions
you could pay for speciality dining
For the extra entertainment options
if there's an excursion of a lifetime say
that you've always wanted to do
this is the time to it because just think about the savings
Exactly! You can save a massive amount of money so you're gonna
have so much more money when you on land for excursions, for shows, for trips
It will be amazing
number three...whats that
lot less than some other cruisers
so you can walk around with that smile on your face thinking
you've got wind or but you paid double the price
Exactly, I love that feeling
when you get such a great deal, and you just like...
"How much did you pay for your cruise"
I know, some of the best deals can
be found on inside cabins
So you can have that smug feeling on you
in an ocean view cabin and what you see
an ocean view cabin
you want to be outside enjoying the facilities
in an ocean view cabin and what you see a black glass plate of
get or the facilities you get in your cabin
balcony cabin or something and then in the afternoon we get in and we just
close the curtains and lay on the bed
love having our balcony cabin but sometimes you want to watch a film
sometimes it's a bit pointless isn't it really
outside enjoying the facilities or on port so compared to a balcony cabin
that extra money which in some cases can be a big big chunk of money
Number 5, we love how dark... oh that was like...
Yeah, we love how dark the cabins get on a night
Exactly, if you're the type of person who is really sensitive to light
number six...
We've just said, inside cabins are super cozy but this can be a problem if you
time you're actually going to spend looking out the window and is it worth
that extra money which in some cases can be a big big chunk of money definitely
number bag we love how dark oh that was like we love dad or how dark the cabins
yeah we love how dark the cabins get on a night it is the perfect sleeping
environment you can sleep so well not knowing what time it is outside can't
you exactly if you're the type of person who is really sensitive to light it is
great for you because there is no light there's no windows
this can cause a couple of issues though on a night particularly if you're looking for the
bathroom but just take a nightlight or a little torch to you and you are good to
number six...
we've just said, inside cabins are super cozy but this can be a problem if you
are a little bit claustrophobic
however, some inside cabins are huge
Sometimes you're paying less for more space, just without a window
there are different categories of inside cabins
so you can get spacious inside cabins
if you've got a disability you can get disabled friendly cabins
which have big walk-in bathrooms and wet rooms
so there is an inside cabin for anybody really
Number seven, booking an inside cabin make sure that you spend as much time
enjoying the ship's facilities as you can
you do not want to be stuck in your
room all day
because you could be anywhere in the world in a hotel
you could be in your own bedroom for god sakes
it's what makes you want to get
out and about on the ship to enjoy all of the amazing facilities and when
you're in port makes you want to spend as much time port
just think about the type of Cruiser you are
if you're the type of person where you get to your
hotel room you dump your stuff and then you're out all day exploring and inside
cabins perfect for you because you're not going to be using the room anyway
If you're just getting changed, showered and sleeping
Number eight, some cruise lines
have virtual balconies or porthole windows
these are so cool
Royal Caribbean International Lines... the full name
they offer virtual balcony so it's
a gigantic LED TV screen on your wall with a live view of a balcony
Disney Cruise Line as well with their portals they offer live view portals
with some little Disney extras on them
You also have the TV as well which almost always features a channel live
from the bridge and multiple views around the ship so you can just leave
that on as well and pretend that you have a window anyway
it's not that much different
we always have that one anyway, even if we've got a balcony
we've still got the live feed from the bridge
actually you could just look out from the balcony and look at it
Number nine, I can't count... guess what some inside cabins have
windows. I know, i hear you say
"how on earth is that, it's an inside cabin"
but for example Royal Caribbean have some inside cabins with windows overlooking
their indoor promenade area
how cool is that so it's still an interior cabin
so you pay that lower price but you get a lovely view of the promenade
that's great, so maybe that's worth a try
We really want to try that don't we
How many times have we have been
tempted as well to book
and you get a lovely little seating area by the window
so you can just look over the street it's like staying in like Paris
or New York overlooking the promenade
You can people watch as well
Most of the time at sea, all you get to see is a flat boring sea.
so at least in here, you can people watch
and look at the promenade
Number ten! Inside cabins have great
locations so for example
if you suffer from seasickness you're actually
closer to the center of the ship
that's right and most interior cabins are
lowered down as well so you get closer to the center of gravity which stops
that seasickness
we mentioned that in our seasickness video which you can
watch in the link right here
also there's sometimes closer to features on
the ship so for example the atrium and stuff like that
you can get some really good locations with an inside cabin
Our upcoming cruise on
Princess Cruises the inside cabin is actually just a few walks away from the piazza
We're just about to go on a 10-day voyage for our longest
ever time i an inside cabin so we'll let you know how we feel after that
how much should we actually save on our latest cruise
We booked the Sapphire Princess for 10 nights going from Rome all the way up to Southampton
the thing is, we wouldn't have been able to afford that if we booked an ocean view cabin
but because we've booked an inside cabin we saved a fortune
We paid just over £1,000 for 10 nights. That is amazing in itself and we think that
the next category cabin up was almost close to £3,000 it was like
£2,700
That's like 60, 70% saving
Over 50%. At the end of the end of the day it was either cruise in a inside cabin
Or dont cruise at all so we took the choice of cruise on an inside cabin
exactly we are so excited
really looking forward to it
great ports
We're going to be out and about all day every day
so an inside cabin sounds perfect for us on this next cruise
so I guess that's it for this time if you really stuck
just print out a lovely big a3 picture of the sea and stick it on
your wall
Yeah the wall are magnetic so can by sticky back magnets
and the pop them on the walls
That was a joke, i dont want people to stick pictures of outside on the wall
I have one for every day so i can change it up
