" i have clostrophobia but only in certain situations like elevators or sometimes i drive myself crazy thinking about being locked in a closet. i would think most of those cruise lines have windows. spend alot of time outside of your room and just try to think of the open ocean. "

" I have clostrophobia also, and have been on 3 cruises. There are rooms available with window, and there are rooms available with balconies as well. Of course they are much more expensive than the rooms in the center of the ship. The rooms are very small, about the size of a large walk in closet, but they have doors and phones, and tv and bathrooms. I didn't mind the rooms to much. What I did mind a little was having to use elevators all the time, because most ships have 10 floors. One good thing about the elevators is that they are usually surounded by glass where someone could see you all the time. I am still terified of them though. I just forced myself to use them and try to have fun. Cruises are wonderfull vacations, especially if you like to eat alot and be entertained the entire time. They are great fun, and you meet alot of nice people. "
