^ He heh. I came back from my first cruise a little while ago and thought it would be hilarious if they did something like that.
I was also in an inside cabin and did not mind it a bit. It was a lot cheaper, and I loved the fact that it was pitch black inside, made sleeping easy. Although as someone else mentioned, port days it was annoying getting up, but since prior to the trip I wasn't getting nearly enough sleep, it was alright.
