Creator's Key Takeaways

The price wasn't awful either, coming in at just over $4,000, including gratuitities, an unlimited drink package, and Wi-Fi for two people.

I've been on over 30 cruises across a variety of lines and ships. And the Edgeclass bathrooms stand out for their modern design, complete with marble accents, space, and functionality.

Had the experience been based on the cabin alone, MSE's Yacht Club Deluxe Suite would rank second. However, combined with the elevated service, private amenities, and gourmet dining, the suite takes the crown as my top cruise balcony experience of the year.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider infinite verandas if you want to save money, but be aware you might feel disconnected from the ocean.
Choose suites with inclusive perks for a more premium experience, even if they cost more upfront.
