Creator's Key Takeaways

Each cabin was suitable for our family of four.

It does make things a bit more cramped with navigation as a trundle bed is situated towards the balcony itself.

The tradeoff was how with having a trumble trundle bed was there was way it was way more comfortable than the CS and other pullout beds I've slept on in other ships.

With an ocean view balcony, you get much better views of the ocean, and things are a lot quieter, which may be useful for people who are looking to have some serenity or families with young children.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose ocean view balconies for better views and quieter atmosphere, especially for families with young children.
Consider boardwalk balconies if you don't mind potential noise from aqua show rehearsals.
