Creator's Key Takeaways

I was sailing on Serenade to the Seas, which entered service back in 2003, and it's one of the Radiance class cruise ships.

I think it was totally worth it.

I really just enjoyed having all that extra space.

I have no regrets staying in this type of cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Compare the price difference between a junior suite and a balcony for your specific sailing.
Consider booking a junior suite if you have more than two people in the cabin for extra space.
If you're chasing Crown and Anchor points, a junior suite gives you an extra point per night.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

A Junior Suite is a blend of both balcony and suite, and it is difficult to make a general rule why you might pick it over a balcony cabin. I recently sailed on Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas to Canada and New England, and I stayed in a Junior Suite that cost me more to upgrade to so I could get extra space and a few extra benefits. Royal Caribbean's cabins come in many configurations, and there are pros and cons to each. You can find great value with an inside cabin, look for the perks of a suite, or find comfort in a balcony. Everyone picks a room for different reasons. On my Serenade of the Seas 7-night cruise to Canada and New England, I decided to book a Junior Suite and spend right around $1200 more to move up to a Junior Suite and I think it was worth it.
