0:02
times that an inside cabin could be the

packed full of travel tips and advice
0:15
and inside cabin is a perfect choice if
0:18
you're looking to cruise as
0:19
inexpensively as possible perhaps
0:21
consumed in a budget or actually you
0:23
want to spend as little spa salon a
0:24
cruise so you can go on as many cruises
0:26
as possible inside cabins will be the
0:29
least expensive or the cheapest of any
0:31
cabin on board and you can even find
0:33
deals from anything from $75 up to $100
0:36
a day we're just going to include your
0:38
cabin and all your food and
0:39
entertainment so it's a pretty
0:40
inexpensive way of cruising so if you're
0:42
on a budget and you want to make sure
0:44
that you can go on a cruise but spend as
0:46
little as possible but still have access
0:48
to all of the facilities then an inside
0:50
cabin is a great choice the great thing
0:52
about an inside cabin is you're likely
0:53
to have access to everything on board
0:56
that even people in the premium cabins
0:58
are now there's a couple exceptions to
0:59
that too example on Cunard there are
1:01
some restrictions based on the grade of
1:03
cabin with your princess grill or Queens
1:05
grill then some ships have for example
1:08
Royal Caribbean has the Haven which has
1:10
some facilities that are only available
1:12
to people in their Haven area but
1:15
generally speaking you'll likely to have
1:17
a low fare and access to everything that
1:19
everybody else has onboard another good
1:23
reason for booking an inside cabinet is
1:24
you want to free up as much money as
1:26
possible to pay for the essential costs
1:29
and the required costs of cruising so if
1:31
you go on a cruise you normally have a
1:32
lot of extra costs once you onboard
1:34
gratuities Wi-Fi excursions and of
1:38
course drinks so that can mount up to
1:40
quite of money so you want to free up as
1:41
much money as possible for those things
1:43
ticking if you're going on a cruise
1:44
which is going to places like Alaska for
1:46
example where excursions can be pretty
1:48
expensive so you want to free up as much
1:50
money as possible so you can go to the
1:52
spa you can gamble you can go on
1:53
excursions and you can still have your
1:55
overall cost of your cruise being pretty
1:58
manageable so that's a really good
1:59
reason for choosing an inside cabin as
2:01
low as possible on the accommodation of
2:03
food and for up as much money as
2:04
possible to have a great time on other
2:06
things that you want to do on your
2:07
cruise inside cabins are also a great
2:10
choice if you're traveling solar
2:12
although there are
2:14
increasingly solo cabins at all grades
2:16
onboard cruise ships it's still
2:18
relatively limited so you'll find if you
2:20
go on a cruise ship you're often paying
2:22
50 percent surcharge and up to a hundred
2:24
percent surcharge so actually going an
2:26
inside cabin if you're traveling by
2:27
yourself is a great option because even
2:30
if you're paying the full wax you're
2:32
paying a 50 percent or a whole percent
2:33
surcharge it's still much more
2:36
manageable than going in a balcony or a
2:38
suite where the costs are enormous if
2:40
you're traveling solo now some cruise
2:43
lines like Norwegian actually have
2:44
created specific solo area so although
2:46
they're inside cabins they've created a
2:48
little area where you can actually have
2:50
also no cabins and every little lounge
2:52
and other facilities but if you're
2:54
traveling solo inside cabins are a great
2:57
option to try and just make the cost of
2:59
cruising so much more manageable if
3:01
you're looking to have better sleep an
3:03
insect cabin could be a great option
3:06
so inside cabins have no windows so of
3:07
course they're very dark and if you've
3:09
chosen a great location it can be
3:11
incredibly quiet and dark so it's a
3:14
great place if you like to have a really
3:17
nice deep sleep this is something you
3:19
may especially want to consider if
3:21
you're traveling to places where there
3:22
is almost no darkness so if you're
3:24
traveling to Norway or Iceland or even
3:27
Alaska in the season there's almost no
3:29
darkness so actually having a cabin with
3:33
a balcony or a suite which has lots of
3:36
windows you might actually find that
3:38
it's pretty light in your cabin so and
3:40
inside cabinet is a great choice of
3:42
course if you're a party animal and
3:44
you're gonna be out and I wanted to
3:45
sleep during the day and inside cabin
3:47
it's great because again it's gonna be
3:48
nice and dark and quiet so if you're
3:50
looking for a nice dark quiet space and
3:54
inside cabin could be a great choice now
3:56
very important of course when you're
3:57
choosing your inside cabin make sure
3:58
that you're choosing a cabinet is in a
4:00
quiet spot on the ship so the key thing
4:02
to do is look for inside cabin that's
4:04
surrounded by above below left hand side
4:08
right hand opposite by the cabins so you
4:10
are a nice quiet spot of the ship and
4:12
you can get that sleep that you're
4:13
looking for inside cab is also a great
4:15
choice if you're on a big resort ship
4:17
and you actually know that you're not
4:18
going to want to spend time in your
4:19
cabin because you're going to be out
4:21
enjoying a resort so if you've got one
4:23
of those big mega ships where there is
4:25
so much to do there
4:26
all sorts of attractions and rides and
4:29
water parks and things to do so actually
4:32
you're not going to be want to spend
4:33
time in a cabin because you're going to
4:34
want to be out enjoying a resort ship
4:36
now of course you might decide if you're
4:37
on a smaller ship which doesn't have
4:38
that you actually might be spending more
4:40
time in your cabin so you might want a
4:41
balcony but if you're on a big resort
4:43
ship and you know you're going to be out
4:44
all the time in the day in the evening
4:47
enjoying all the great attractions and
4:50
nightclubs the facilities then an inside
4:52
cabin could be a really good choice
4:53
because you just aren't going to spend
4:55
virtually no time there getting ready
4:58
and sleeping is the only time you're
5:00
going to spend there take a look at an
5:01
inside cabin link to that another good
5:04
reason for taking inside cabin is if
5:05
you're on a very port intensive trip so
5:08
every day you're going to be in a port
5:09
and actually it's not you're on one of
5:11
those cruises where you arrive into the
5:12
port very early and you stay very late
5:14
so increasingly cruise lines are trying
5:16
to stay longer and longer in ports so if
5:18
you're basically on a seven-day cruise
5:19
or even longer and every single day
5:21
you're on a port you're getting there
5:22
basically at breakfast time or even
5:24
before breakfast and leaving late in the
5:25
evening and inside cabin could be a
5:27
great choice because actually you're not
5:29
going to want to go on a balcony or I
5:30
have a window to actually look at the
5:32
scenery because pretty much when you're
5:34
awake you're going to be in port so very
5:36
important intensive trips could be a
5:38
great reason for having an inside cabin
5:40
especially if you're not that bothered
5:41
about watching coming into port or
5:43
leaving port or if you are you have to
5:44
go up on deck and take a look at sail in
5:47
and sell out from there now if you're
5:50
not in a rush to board the ship or get
5:52
off the ship in inside cabin is also a
5:54
great choice in some cabins tend to be
5:56
some of the last that will board a ship
5:59
and some of the last that get off a ship
6:02
on disembarkation day so if you're not a
6:05
big Russian not bothered about getting
6:06
on the ship early or getting off the
6:08
ship late and it's a cabin is a great
6:09
choice now of course if you cruise a lot
6:12
on one particular Cruise Line and even
6:15
if that's an inside cabin you will build
6:16
up loyalty and as you work up loyalty
6:18
you start to get things like priority
6:20
invocation and disembarkation so
6:22
actually even selling with an inside
6:24
cabin as you build up loyalty which is
6:26
based on number of nights not on what
6:28
cabin you're in you start to get all of
6:30
those perks as well so don't let that
6:32
put you off an inside cabin if you know
6:34
there's going to be loyal to one cruise
6:35
line I would also say an inside cabin is
6:39
good if you travel
6:40
light so in obviously a suite or balcony
6:43
cabins which tend to be bigger there's
6:44
often much more storage space but if you
6:47
are a relatively light cruiser
6:48
particularly going on a nice warm Cruise
6:50
and you're on a cruise liner which has
6:51
big strict dress codes and you're
6:53
actually able therefore to travel pretty
6:55
light and inside Kevin's great if you
6:57
don't need lots of storage because
6:59
you're a light traveler and you know
7:01
need loads of places to put all your
7:03
fancy clothes so an inside cabin is
7:05
great for people who like to travel nice
7:07
and light so if you travel light there's
7:09
another great advantage because it's one
7:11
way of getting around that getting off a
7:12
ship late many cruise lines if you're
7:15
able to carry your own baggage will
7:17
allow you to self disembark and they
7:19
tend to be very early in terms of
7:20
disembarking the ship so you can carry
7:22
all of your luggage off a ship you can
7:24
get off really really early so that's
7:25
one way of getting around so if your
7:27
light traveler the inside cabin is a
7:28
great option another great choice for
7:31
inside cabins is because although
7:33
they're not exclusively but many of them
7:34
are lower down on the ship so if you are
7:36
particular worried about motion sickness
7:38
and seasickness and inside cabin could
7:40
be a great choice because they do tend
7:41
to be much lower down in the ship or you
7:44
can sooner get there much to lower down
7:45
a ship because of course they don't need
7:47
to have windows I don't have balconies
7:49
so get an inside cabin low down and mid
7:52
ships and that's great for people who
7:54
worried about seasickness now saying
7:57
that all inside cabins are not
7:58
necessarily low down you can get inside
8:00
cameras which are much higher up on a
8:01
ship but if you're worried about it it's
8:03
one of the lowest caverns you can get on
8:05
the ship is gonna be an inside cabin so
8:08
it's a great choice so as you can see
8:11
there's lots of reasons for choosing an
8:12
inside cabin hopefully you found that
8:14
helpful if you have I'd love it
