There are two basic "kinds" of cabins, Ocean View (also called "Outside" cabins) and Inside cabins.

Ocean View cabins are located on the outside wall of the ship, as shown in pink here, and have a window so one can view the ocean.

Inside cabins, in blue, are located inside the corridors of the ship and have no windows.

Be aware that windows on ships can vary from port-hole size to full length picture windows affording a spectacular view.

The choice between an Inside or Ocean View cabin depends on your personal preference and budget. Here are things to consider:

Inside Cabins			Ocean View Cabins
	Inside cabins are less expensive than Ocean View cabins as in the deck plan shown above.			Having a view from your cabin of passing tropical isles or massive glaciers while lounging, dressing or romancing is a special treat.
	On newer ships Inside cabins are usually identical to standard Ocean View cabins.			There is greater variety and selection among Ocean View cabins ranging from standard cabins to Deluxe Suites.
	Passengers in Inside cabins are afforded all the same ship's amenities as passengers in Ocean View cabins while taking advantage of price savings,			There are categories of cabins on newer ships that include your own Veranda affording privacy while passing spectacular scenery.
	Without daylight, one can wake up and not know if it's morning or the middle of the night, or what the weather is outside.			Would you like a Butler? Some Deluxe Suites include 24-hour butler service.
	There are two possible features of inside cabins which you should know about before hand: Some inside cabins may have only upper & lower berths. Some older ships have some real closet-sized inside cabins.			Not all Ocean View cabins are truly ocean view. All ships have Coast Guard-required life boats. These must hang along the sides of the ship, usually up high and can sometimes obscure the view from some Ocean View cabins. Non-Stop Travel makes you aware of this when booking. However, these cabins are less expensive.
