I cruised in 2 different balcony cabins and one was disappointing

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator compares two different cabin experiences on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, specifically a standard ocean-facing balcony and an infinite Grand Suite. He details the features of the balcony cabin, noting the minimalistic decor, the abundance of power outlets, and the spacious bathroom design that includes a shower seat. He contrasts this with the infinite Grand Suite, which offers significantly more living space and suite-class amenities such as access to the Coastal Kitchen and the Suite Lounge. The creator explains the concept of the infinite balcony, which uses a sliding window to integrate the outdoor space into the living area rather than providing a traditional open-air veranda. While he appreciates the extra square footage the infinite balcony provides to the interior room, he expresses disappointment with the concept, comparing the sensation of opening the window to rolling down a car window rather than being truly outdoors. Ultimately, he concludes that while the suite offers luxury and convenience, he personally prefers the traditional ocean balcony experience over the infinite balcony design.
