Creator's Key Takeaways

I do wish, and I've said this over and over, why skimp? Why does one person get power and the other side does not?

Not huge by any stretch of the imagination. Uh, in fact, quite a bit smaller than I was hoping for.

love the fact that it is glass enclosed. and it's actually the full width of the bathroom itself. So, that's that's very nice.

I was on a guarantee uh for a neighborhood balcony. So, I could have gotten everything from Central Park or any room here in Surfside, but this is actually on deck 11.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a European adapter if sailing in domestic US for the European outlet.
Use the safety latch on the balcony if concerned about kids getting out.
Consider the distance from elevators if you have mobility issues.
