We were gypped!
Not once were we:
• Terrorised by uncontrolled kids
Good sized room for 3 of us. Kids had the double, and I took the settee. Not luxurious, but OK for the amount of time. Great storage space, good bathroom, and always kept sparkling clean. Loved the turn-down service. Extended balcony was very good. Don't take the aft-view if you will be put off by the noise of the propulsed water below when you are outside. Personally, we liked it, but some may be put off. It's a bit like standing an equal distance from the surf in terms of the type and volume of noise. Some vibration, but this is true all over the ship. Movement during a gale was similar to a train on a rough track. Like the ship vibration I found this to be soporific, rather that annoying, so all was good. We were upgraded to this cabin from the Ocean View on Deck 1 that we booked. Not sure if I see the dollar value in booking the Balcony even having experienced it, but this must be a personal thing and would differ from person to person.
