5 Reasons to Book a Balcony

5 Reasons to Book a Balcony
By Mike Miller

​Everyone has their own favorite cabin but probably the most popular is a balcony stateroom. Having a private balcony is my favorite way to cruise and its difficult when I sail in anything else. These are my five reasons to book a balcony on your next cruise. 

​Mornings are awesome with a balcony. You can wake up and walk just a few steps and have an ocean view the smell and feel of the ocean air. I love having coffee delivered to my cabin in the morning and having a cup on my balcony.
Space. Although most balcony cabins are not bigger in square footage than an ocean view, the feel is bigger because the balcony opens up the space. 

​Sail away. Most cruisers have a place on the ship where they like to enjoy sail away. With a balcony, you can sit in piece and watch as you head out to sea. 

Privacy. If you are like me, there are times when on a cruise you want to get away from people and just enjoy some privacy. With your private balcony, you can hang out and enjoy a beverage. 

​View. Whether you are in the Caribbean, Alaska or Europe, you will get a view that is Instagram worthy from your balcony. Just remember, if you are in port, you might have a ship next to you when you pull open those curtains.
