We usually get the inside cabins, being the cheapest. We are only there to sleep and take a shower and change clothes. There are so many large public areas on a large ship to lounge around and stay active.

One of our recent cruise was on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas ship. It actually had an area called Central Park, where they had a forest of live trees and bushes, and had birds living there! And the ship had great shows on ice skating rink the size of a 1500 SF ranch house, a place to water ski, and whole bunch of other stuff. The ship carries 6000 passengers, yet there were no lines for anything!
