Overnight ferries - more danger from air con in inside cabins than outside ones?

Given that air con can circulate the virus, is there is any advantage to choosing an outside cabin on overnight ferries?

I am thinking of the Harwich and Hull routes.

Almost by definition yes but I think the risk you are talking about is negligible. Of course it will cost you more which is a real and more quantifiable disadvantage

No, because on ferries you normally can't open the porthole so the aircon is the same either way. The benefit would be that if there is an outbreak and so you end up confined to cabin an outside one might be less claustrophobic.

Been and gone.
You cannot open the cabin window on any overnight ferry I have been on anyway, so I would say it makes no difference.

Stena Line states: "Our ventilation systems are running on 100% fresh air, no recirculation."
