Creator's Key Takeaways

the bottom line is yes okay um a balcony affords you a little extra space private space and fresh air

if you've moved up to a mini suite it's even harder because that gives you that much more room in the room

it also goes to the value of having a real travel expert in your corner you know the ships and you can give people solid advice

we were in in one of those rooms one time and every morning and every evening you heard the staff dragging the deck chairs
