Editorial Summary

Adrian provides a detailed tour of a balcony cabin on the Pacific Explorer. He explains that the ship features over three decks dedicated to balcony accommodations and outlines several possible room configurations. These include twin arrangements, quad rooms with various bunk setups, triple share rooms, and quad share rooms with sofa beds. The specific cabin featured is a twin share room with a queen bed, measuring approximately 16.5 square meters. The creator notes that the compact layout includes bedding, a bedside table, a flat screen television, and a bar fridge. Power options are highlighted, including Australian, European, US, and USB outlets. The balcony area is described as being inset within the hull with a steel cutout rather than glass dividers, providing a small ledge for personal items. Inside the bathroom, the space is described as economical and includes shelving, a curtained shower, and provided toiletries. Storage is provided through a three door wardrobe that contains a safe, shelves, and hanging space. The creator concludes that while the room is compact, the inclusion of outdoor space makes the balcony cabin a worthwhile upgrade over an ocean view room.

Creator's Key Takeaways

Pacific Explorer has just over three decks dedicated to cabins with balconies, and there's no doubt that access to fresh air and a little outdoor space is a nice addition to a cruise holiday

the compact space is made up mostly of the bedding there's also one bedside table you can store suitcases under the bed which is a great way to free up some of the limited floor space

a sliding door separates the balcony from the indoor space there are two chairs and a small table being an older ship the balconies are inset within the hull

overall it's a compact room but it is comfortable with comfortable bedding and having the fresh air and outdoor space of a balcony is a perk that i consider worth paying for over an ocean view room
