My cousin Deb called me cheap for booking an interior cabin on our Alaska trip, and I've been mad about it for a week
She sailed the same week with a balcony and paid $1,900 more for it. I told her straight up that I'd rather put that money into the train ride in Skagway and a whale watching boat in Juneau, which is exactly what my wife and I did. Funny thing is she barely used her balcony because it was 45 degrees and foggy most mornings. So tell me, am I really the cheap one, or is she the one who got played by the upgrade email?

Come on, the balcony isn't just about sitting out there in the cold. You get floor to ceiling glass, way more natural light, you can watch the coast go by from bed with your coffee, and on glacier day you don't have to fight for a spot on the rail with 200 other people. Plus an interior cabin means zero clue what time it is, no sunrise, no sunset, just a dark box with bunks. If she's the type who likes to nap or read with a view, that $1,900 might've been worth every penny to her even if she only stepped outside twice.
