More cruises.
Bucket list destinations come with bigger price tags.  I'd rather experience two special bucket list destinations rather than just one in my lifetime (or every 5 years).
Balconies are great, make no mistake, but once you step into the hall your cabin type is irrelevant.  Once you are off the ship even more so.  To experience a destination you take an excursion or tour.  By saving money on cabin type I can take over the top excursions and really experience a destination.
Suites are really great too.  Cruise once every 5 years in a suite, once every two years in a balcony or twice a year in interior?   
My fondest cruise memories don't generally involve my cabin.  

Balcony for sure!  We have only had an interior on our first cruise and it was so dark and we felt like we had to go out in the hall to change our minds ?.  Anytime we are in our cabin then I will be on the balcony for a big chunk of it. 

Ocean view Balcony and 1 cruise all day every day. We enjoy having the private space where we can retreat for some downtime or just enjoy drinks and snacks together. We aren’t in our room a ton, but it’s enough to really enjoy the extra space and view. 

Family of 4 here-- we either need one balcony or two inside rooms to be able to get some space. This year we did connecting interiors and mostly loved it. Except for when one of the kids needed down time and one of us needed to be in the room with them.  -- that was when we missed the balcony.   Trying a Central Park Balcony next year. 
 
So I guess this is a real choice for us every time - it's just for the same cruise instead of getting an "extra" ?  

I don't accept having to make this choice, lol.

Yeah, this^^^^^^^^

I have only cruised in an inside once and I really hated it.  I would definitely choose 1 balcony cruise over multiple insides.

I would do the latter as more cruises would provide, well, more opportunity for adventure.  I don't use balconies that much.  When we get one, it is more for the larger room size and extra perks from our agent.  Inside rooms are better for sleeping.   Having said that, my wife now insists on an ocean view room....

It depends on the itinerary of the cruises and what there is to see.
Hawaii? Balcony!
Europe definite balcony!
Alaska balcony mandatory!
 
Caribbean? Definite insides!
 

Give us 2 cruises on the inside every time, baby! ?

2 is always better than 1 in our opinion. We had a balcony on our last cruise and rarely used it. Some people do and others do not, depends on each person's preferences. We are hardly in the cabin so it makes no difference to us. Until you reach the highest level of C&A points, the perks are minimal. We go for the relaxation and together time away from life at home.

More is better....2 interior rooms 

This hits the nail on the head. For just me, 2 inside trips would be great as I only spend about 30 minutes a day awake in the cabin. For my wife, the balcony is a must so if I want to travel with her the answer is 1 balcony.

Hubby and me are trying to average two a year if possible, inside cabins. More money to spend on DX drink package and maybe an excursion. We feel like we're never in our room except to shower. Half the time I'm sleeping poolside or beachside Cococay so I don't even sleep much in the cabin itself lol! 

I agree with @luv2sail, I would feel trapped in an interior. We also spend quite a bit of time in our cabin. It seems everyone in my family needs a place to go every afternoon on a cruise that is just us - no people, no din from across the bar, no flashing  lights seeping into our view. My autistic daughter especially needs time to reset, and the balcony gives us one more place to go when we're having quiet time. Plus, DH is up around 4:30 every morning, even on vacation. Poor guy might have an "accident" if we didn't have room to spread out a little and have a space further from the bed for him to read than what's offered in an interior. ?  Bottom line, we would hate being in an interior and to be honest would wait until we could swing the balcony or *gasp* take a land vacation. 

inside room for 2 of course....seeing as 12/14 cruises have been inside rooms(other 2 were ocenview)  I have no issues with it either way...and balcony's usually are triple the cost of the inside rooms on cruises I have done..so its  a no brainer...

If there were no other factors, I guess 2 cruises but I really miss a balcony. Especially being a solo cruiser. I like to read and eat overlooking the water and sometimes it's easier to not have to find a space.

One balcony cruise for me.  I would feel trapped like a rat in an inside. I spend plenty of time on my balcony and love it.  It is so peaceful listening to the ocean as we sail.

More cruises is better than less cruises, IMHO.  There is plenty of outdoor space I can lounge and enjoy the water.  

Actually, this is a difficult question for me. Solo, sure, all day long. With my wife, we really enjoy the balcony, we relax and enjoy each other, so it gets a bit more difficult to say 2 insides vs 1 balcony.
So, think I'd rather have that one, extended, relaxing experience with my wife with our own slice of the ocean and if we can swing it (assuming we can cause it is about $1000 difference or so) take a few long weekend land trips. 

Currently doing two cruises a year! If the second cruise was free they could put me in the Solarium and I would be happy!?

Definitely do 2 inside cabins oppose to one balcony...especially if it means I am doing 2 B2B, enjoyable itineraries. I have to fly from Chicago to any port so I want to get the most out of my cruises. If the inside cabins would be at different times of the year I might choose one balcony on a long itinerary. Because it might be cheaper than what flights, ridesharing and hotels might cost. 2 inside rooms could be more C&A points and faster status depending on who is traveling. A balcony is only good if you plan to spend at least 32% of the cruise in your room.

Inside cabins. 
We only use our cabin to sleep/shower/change clothes. 
We had a balcony on our first cruise and realized we would have had just as much fun without it. Booking inside rooms leaves us more.money for excursions or staying a couple more nights pre/post cruise  

Considering I am doing two cruises in an inside cabin this year -- and 2 next year! -- I could do without the balcony! Even when Alaska is involved, as it will be in some form next year as one of my two.

2 cruises are better than 1. Providing i get time off from work. I'm happy with inside room or balcony, Just get me on the ship
