This was our fist time with a rear facing balcony, we really liked it!! The cabin is the same as all other balcony cabins that we have ever been in, the balcony was slightly larger! We had 2 chairs with a table and a lounge chair and still a little bit of room on the balcony! Down side of this balcony style was that when anyone in a room above yours drops something (like ice cream!!!) it lands on your balcony!! Also, you lack privacy on the aft balconies so if that is important to you stick to the port or starboard balconies!!
