Creator's Key Takeaways

is it worth getting a balcony on a river cruise this is the question I get asked the most

the water level for the river sits essentially at the bottom of the window so you're going to have the sense of being under the water

the additional space provided by those rooms as well the ability to sit on your balcony and enjoy the scenery are certainly worth the upgrade for some people

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider a standard or fixed window room if you view your room as a place to sleep and shower to save money.
βœ“Upgrade to a balcony or suite if you have claustrophobia or want private outdoor space.
βœ“Enjoy the public spaces on river cruise ships, which are plentiful due to fewer than 200 passengers.

Claustrophobia in small standard rooms β€” If you have an inkling of claustrophobia, you may not be suited for a standard room due to its small size and feeling of sitting below the waterline.
