The first couple of times we cruised, we had verandahs, however, the main thing I didn't like was that everyone had to squeeze past our bed to get to the living area and the verandah. Also, we like to sleep in a very dark room with no light coming in to wake us up. My sons would complain that when I got up early to sit out on the verandah that I let the light in and woke them up. So, we switched to an inside cabin on decks 5, 6, or 7 and have been very happy because it is dark to sleep and our bed is way in the back, the living area by the door where people come in. It is worth the savings. We are right across the hall from the verandah rooms we used to have, same deck.
Give me the inside cabin.
