No Deluxe Inside staterooms?

I agree with above except when it comes to Alaska. The premium is still high. At least on DCL it is. My two Alaska cruises were in inside rooms. I refuse to pay thousands more for a balcony.

Alaska is like the great equalizer IMO with the cruise lines not being nearly as differentiated as they may be elsewhere. They all tend to be on the higher side of pricing there.

But from the standpoint of looking at lines that have more ships over the years with more balconies in greater numbers than in the past even with talking about Alaska it's not quite the same as it was prior to balconies not being quite as prevalent because there's less non-balcony rooms to begin with compared to years ago. There's less rooms available to even "upgrade" to a balcony if more and more rooms start with a balcony.

The older the ship is the less it can be used for comparison when asking about inside rooms vs balcony but your point about certain locations commanding more price variance with what rooms a particular ship has is for sure true.
