Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of a standard balcony cabin on the Discovery Princess, offering both initial impressions and a recap after a one-week stay. The review begins with a tour of the room, noting the ease of entry using Medallion technology and the layout of the 222 square foot space. They highlight features such as the comfortable Princess luxury bed, the presence of USB sockets in bedside lights, and the functional walk-in open closet which provides ample storage. The balcony is described as narrow but equipped with two comfortable reclinable chairs and a table. After living in the room for seven days, the creators conclude that the space is workable for a week, even for those with significant belongings. They note some minor frustrations, including the lack of individual control for the wardrobe light, the absence of a bathroom night light, and the awkward placement of the toilet roll. Despite the small bathroom and limited seating area inside the cabin, they find the room functional and the amenities, such as the television system and Medallion connectivity, to be high quality.
