I'm also one that disagrees with Ed, I'm retired so get me somewhere the slowest possible way. I also recommend a balcony, nothing like sitting on the balcony and having breakfast and enjoying the solitude of watching the ocean go by.
Definitely, join Cruise Critic!

I have never sailed in an inside cabin. (I did have a cabin on a Royal Carib ship once that had a window that looked down on the promenade and didn't like it much.) I am fine with OV (ocean view) but hubby much prefers a balcony, as he likes to sit outside at night and listen to music. After reading about Diamond Princess, I will never again sail in a room without a balcony.
