Alaska Cruise Inside Cabin Vs Balcony. You will be able to step out from your room onto a space that is considered only yours your cabin-mates to see to the views of Alaska. The open UPPER decks will give you the best views anyway Spend your budget on Alaskan EXCURSIONS.
Contrary to some beliefs that one side is better than the other both sides are actually best for an Alaskan cruise ship. Im pretty cost conscious when it comes to cruises - if I think Ill hardly be. We originally thought Balcony but wed like to save the money if we can - and we can be on deck to watch the world go by anyway right.
The reason is that Alaskan cruise ships move in slow circles in scenic points to provide a good view of both sides from the comfort of your balcony.

However you have to be prepared to pay handsomely for those niceties. For the most part there isnt much of a difference in square footage between the two but occasionally you might find oceanview cabins on some ships to be slightly larger than their inside. Balcony staterooms on Princess are relatively cheap to that of HAL.
