[QUOTE="knick1959, post: 687062, member: 1415"] An inside cabin would not matter to me, although my wife has refused to agree on the 2 cruises we've taken. The Alaska cruise sorta-kinda had a view (but not really noteworthy ... I'll explain) but seeing water all around in the Caribbean was not a thrill for me. If you had fewer-to-no days at sea, the inside cabin would matter even less. We didn't spend much conscious time in our cabin; the view was always better from a deck and even when the Alaska weather wasn't so hot, we still were well prepared for a deck spot or could find a public window to hog. When it's dark, there's little to see out of a window. Cabins are for sleeping IMO. I know not everyone shares this view (or lack of view, puns intended). It is kind of nice to wake up and look out a room window to see your new port. Still, I don't recall seeing anything that was worth the additional cost, tho. Nothing a visit to the deck couldn't replace. But you're spot on with the "free" logistics; one reason I don't pay attention to things with "airfare included". I've seen some of these arrangements, and there is a reason they are giving them away :). Lodging included is also a crap-shoot. [/QUOTE]
