Creator's Key Takeaways

I was really Keen to try one so as you can see from my honest deck plans some cabins have absolutely massive balconies

the novelty did wear off though when we stayed in this cabin and I'll explain why

bigger doesn't always mean better

we never actually managed to sit out here for more than 15 minutes

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a regular-sized balcony if traveling as a couple
Book early if you want a large balcony cabin
Be prepared for less natural light in large balcony cabins

We snagged a massive balcony on Iona - it was bigger than the cabin itself! But, our excitement didn't last long in cold and windy Norway. Find out if you should try to book one of these balconies, or if a regular-sized one might be better for your cruise. 👉 Get the latest cruise news, tips and hand-picked deals by email: https://www.subscribepage.com/cruisemummy 👉Read my cruise blog: https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk 👉 Follow me on social media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cruisemummy/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cruisemummy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/cruisemummyblog About Cruise Mummy: My name’s Jenni and I’ve worked in the cruise industry since 2015.
