There's lots of light during the day and I felt part of the action. And it's certainly better than an inside or outside (w/o balcony). While I was on the cruise, RCI folks told me these cabins are getting higher premiums than outside balcony cabins. Mike…I agree about the interior balcony cabins.

It's a bit sad that they can provide such a quality physical shipboard experience but the double teaming of the low quality included food and the nickel and dimming to get the good stuff is very disappointing. Especially when you consider the premiums Oasis is commanding. I can say that the value proposition of the interior facing balcony cabins is based on your perspective. You definitely give up privacy but the alternative in other ships is an interior cabin. To me I look at it as an interior cabin that comes with a balcony option if I want to use it to look at a park or at broad-walk. From that perspective it's a tremendous advancement. A good review.
