I sailed in an interior cabin on one of the most scenic 13-day cruises to save money, and I'd happily do it again

My grandmother was an avid cruiser who went on more than 100 voyages during her retirement. The one cruise she absolutely insisted I do, though, was a Panama Canal crossing.
These sailings are popular (and often expensive) because they offer a rare chance to pass through the Panama Canal and see how its incredible 12-lock system helps ships travel between the Atlantic and Pacific.
So, following her recommendation, I booked a 12-night partial transit of the Panama Canal on the Holland America Line Rotterdam.
I decided to recreate her experience with one exception: She sailed in a balcony room, and I always book interior cabins. The cruise cost me $849 plus $460 for taxes, fees, and port charges.
Here's why I have no regrets about choosing an interior room on such a scenic voyage.
