My second cruise with Royal Caribbean. The first was on Radiance of the Seas from Fremantle WA to Sydney.
This was our first cruise with a balcony and it didnt disappoint. The balcony was large, with two chairs and small table. Plenty of room to stretch out. The bacony rail is wooden and the outer wall is metal so far up then green clear glass up to the rail. The glass was dirty until the attendant gave it a good clean.
Our room was on port side. I specifically asked for portside going to New Zealand as I remembered from my last cruise that I would see land for most of the cruise, rather than sea, sea and more sea.
Great balcony. With 2 chairs and small table. Double patio doors which were double glazed. Thick curtains. Pillows too hard. Bed a little on the hard side. Enought room for two people. Cases fit under the bed. Wardrobe a good size. plenty of hangers. Two rows of hanging and a wall of wire shelves. Very quiet hallway. We had midship and it was quiet as it was not above any nightclub or casino. And it is away from lifts. But the lifts were quiet anyway. We were very happy with our cabin and its situation. We would choose it again without hesitation.
