Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on 16 cruises on 15 different cruise ships

if you are on the first or second or third or maybe even fourth deck underneath that overhang on the inside part of this design you will have little to no sunlight on your balcony

try to be at least three decks underneath the pool deck and yeah try to avoid any cabin on the deck directly available directly below the pool deck

having a an extra-large balcony on a cruise is a really great thing

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid cabins directly below the pool deck to prevent noise and vibrations
Avoid cabins next to elevator banks due to foot traffic and privacy concerns
Book a cabin in the transitional area for a potentially larger balcony at the same price
