Creator's Key Takeaways

You really don't need to have a balcony for an Alaskan cruise.

I would personally, and this is me personally, would rather have a great time in Alaska in the ports than on my cruise ship balcony.

Do what is comfortable for you. Do what's comfortable for your pockets most importantly and just have a great time in Alaska.

If you are someone that wants to avoid crowds because sometimes those deck spaces can be crowded, then maybe a balcony is for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider booking an interior or ocean view cabin to save money for excursions.
Use public deck spaces for viewing scenery instead of relying on a balcony.
Check your itinerary for scenic cruising to determine if a balcony is worth it.
Use an eye mask or blackout solutions if you need complete darkness to sleep.
