Room 7030 had an extra large balcony, but you lost privacy. The walls separating this balcony from the ones next to it came out only 2/3 of the way, with just open railing the rest of the way. So if your neighbor is standing at the outside corner of their deck, they can actually see not only your deck but also into your room. I'm not sure the extra space warranted the lack of privacy. Other than that, the room was fine, but small. I'll try to go to the superior-level cabins in the future as opposed to the deluxe. The room was close to the forward elevators (a plus for me), and it was quiet. So overall, not a bad room.  Read entire member review.

A little small, but great balcony. Very quiet location.  Read entire member review.

Cramped but big enough. Small bathroom but pretty good balcony.  Read entire member review.

The only complaint I would have would be...We booked a non-smoking room. I am very sensitive to smoke. The cabins adjacent to us were not non-smoking and therefore we were bombarded with cigarette smoke because we had a balcony. I don't think our room should have been in such close proximity to a smoking room. The location was great in accordance with central activity areas and eateries.  Read entire member review.

Room was in a great location as it was close to both the entertainment and shops as well as the restaurants. No obstruction on the balcony which also was big enough for two chairs and a small table. Other than size (which is common with these rooms) we had no issue at all.  Read entire member review.

Cabin 7170 cat E3 is small and has balcony with obstructed view with no privacy from above or right side. Noisy due to nightclub below.  Read entire member review.

Huge balcon ywith extended space. Room for two chairs, small table and one lounge chair. Ok to smoke cigars out there, but keep others in mind. End of balcony is not private and others could look over into your room so be mindful. We had breakfast with free room service every morning out there except the last windy day. Closets were huge, bath was ok. Bring your own handsoap bottle if you don't like bar soap. Room attendant was great, asked for extra ice buckets and she kept them filled a few times a day. Only got towel animals a couple of times. Was great to bring our own cooler and kept it near balcony door with water and diet pepsi and our allowed 2 bottles of wine. Bed was super comfy. Mini fridge had room for 4 of our own things. Tip your cabin attendant at the end for extra help and room service each day a buck or two even if you prepaid gratuities it is nice for them. luggage fit easily under the bed after we unpacked. Recommend doing the self carried out luggage on last day and leave around 730 instead of waiting an hour or so in lines for your disembark group.  Read entire member review.

Balcony #7552 right near the elevators and partially blocked view of the ocean below but can still see over the obstruction out into the sea. Still very happy with the room for the price I paid.  Read entire member review.

Deluxe balcony staterooms are small--but have very clever storage cubbies and sufficient closet space for our 5 night cruise. Mulitple-week cruises on the Jewel in this stateroom would require more clothes, but the closets won't get any bigger... The bed mattress and linens were excellent and very comfortable. I loved the balcony--it really made the room seem larger and gave us a sanctuary away from the crowded pool decks. We loved breakfast and happy hour on our balcony!  Read entire member review.

balcony cabin 7658. good size. shower has sliding rounded doors. balcony is huge! Some noise from others on balconies above you is possible.  Read entire member review.

A pleasant surprise!. 8008 was a nice size, typical bathroom, the balcony looks small on the schematic but it was full sized, PLUS being in the front of the ship, you didn't smell the stench from cancer sticks, there was no strong winds like the back balconies. It is nice to just sit there and watch the sun rise and fall. Very quiet spot, really didn't feel much of the rocking.  Read entire member review.

(Copied from main review body) Booked Deluxe Ocean View balcony Stateroom 8042 for us, and Interior 8025 for the daughters. Our balcony was unusual in that it was tucked into the indent where the superstructure narrows on Radiance-class ships, and was therefore triangular, facing 45 degrees between port and aft. This is also the case with the similar 8542, 9032/9532 & 7048/7548 on Jewel. Drawback is that those balconies are half the expected area, while still very usable. You can see the balconies to your aft, and they can see you on the balcony, but never into the room. Plus is that you get plenty of sunlight and a great sky & ocean view from the bed as there's no partition facing aft giving a much more open feeling. Overall we liked the arrangement, but it may not be for those who chase every square inch of balcony real estate and crave total balcony privacy.  Read entire member review.

Nice Cabin. Has a little bigger balcony. The balcony is indented into the ship so it is protected from the wind and rain which makes it a nice place to sit even when the weather is bad. I left the door open at night to get nice outside air when we were moving.  Read entire member review.

Great location, accessible to the Centrum. Some bleed-over of noise from Centrum, though. The balcony was huge. The sofa bed in this cabin is uncomfortable and literally cosists of cushions on the floor.  Read entire member review.

nice balcony, quiet location, tiny bathroom, good size room.  Read entire member review.

Wrap around balcony with 2 chairs, 2 lounges, 1 table. Excellent views of sailing in and out of ports. Ample space for belongings and hanging clothes. Bathroom a bit small, but not a problem. Crew staircase is next to cabin and frequent crashing noises at night. A VERY LONG walk from stairways and elevators.  Read entire member review.

Great location. Quiet. Easy access to dining, fitness, theatre, centrum. Nice size room with all amenities. Balcony was nice bonus for viewing sailing into ports. Adequate closet space with barely enough drawer space.  Read entire member review.

Nice size balcony, lots of closet space and shelves for all over stuff, bathroom small, but fine for us. Stored suitcases under bed. Nice location.  Read entire member review.

Typical balcony cabin. Tiny but ingeniously designed bathroom. Huge king sized bed - frankly we would have preferred a queen size that would also provided a bit more space to move around the cabin. A large fold out couch was also provided that we did not need. It took up too much space. We requested that it be removed but were advised that such were standard fittings for all staterooms  Read entire member review.

cabin 9524; great location- near stairwell- but was quiet. Did not experience any hallway noise. Storage space was adequate. Balcony was nice. Carpet needs replacement.  Read entire member review.

Our cabin was in a great location near the forward elevator and not far from the midship elevators. The library was located on our floor which made it easy to check for the scarce books in the library. It was a comfortable balcony cabin.  Read entire member review.

The bed was very old and extremely hard and the room although clean was very outdated. The rug in the hallway i think has not been cleaned in months. The bathrooms in the common areas were backed up and could not be used.  Read entire member review.

Balcony cabin - E2 - was smaller than other RCCL ships and the roof structure just below the balcony blocked the close ocean view and the sound of the waves. I would not recommend a balcony cabin on deck 7 for this reason.  Read entire member review.
