Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall, we really enjoyed this cabin, and I love the Art Deco theme running throughout

I was actually quite happy with this balcony, as especially when you're on a transatlantic, the view doesn't really change

This cabin is well worth considering if you're wanting a balcony, but you're on a tighter budget

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring adapters for electrical outlets
Check online for your exact cabin number to assess obstruction degree
Ask cabin steward to remove mini-bar for extra space
