My husband and I have cruised 4 times previously, 2 on RCCL, 1 on Princess, 1 on Celebrity. We have read the reviews many times, but this is the first one we decided to submit. Please excuse the "not too perfect" english, we are from Montreal and this is a second language for us!
We do find that some of the reviewers complain for such little details. After all, you are on vacation, have fun, you are privileged to enjoy nice cruise vacations!
We always book a balcony room, because although everyone tells you that you are not on a cruise to stay on the balcony, it does give you more space to breathe and it is very enjoyable in the morning for breakfast, or late afternoon when you come back from the islands. Anyway, we now book a "guarantee" stateroom, which generally comes cheaper than an inside category!
