7 Days in a Balcony Cabin - Cruising Alaska: Worth It?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator evaluates the experience of staying in a standard balcony cabin during a seven day Alaskan cruise on a Norwegian ship. Having opted for a balcony upgrade to view the scenery, the creator explores the cabin layout, which includes a sofa, desk, and a bed positioned to face the view. The review covers various aspects of the accommodations, such as the spaciousness of the bathroom, the effectiveness of the storage solutions like the double wardrobe and under bed space, and the quality of the bedding. The creator notes that while the cabin is located toward the back of the ship, it remains quiet and comfortable. Practical features like the electronic light controls, the room service experience, and the ability to use the balcony for viewing glaciers and wildlife are discussed. Despite some minor movement felt on the first day, the creator concludes that the balcony cabin was a worthwhile choice, providing a private space to enjoy the Alaskan landscape and offering convenience when transitioning between the outdoor views and the interior amenities.

Creator's Key Takeaways
being able to Sun bath out here while the sun was on our side but then go back inside to get a jacket when it got chillier is definitely a benefit of a balcony cabin
this location has been quiet and I have slept so well we could hear people around us when we were on the balcony but as soon as we shut the door it was pretty much silent
