morgan, i think i would only book these if i was originally in an INSIDE cabin and it was a free upgrade that came with a drinks package and some OBC. otherwise they can keep it.

OMG Morgan.... After watching you for so long I cant say the name of the port town near Rome. I called it Chewy Chubbaca with the travel agent. He laughed so hard and asked how long I had watched you. He knew exactly where I got calling it that from.....

We had a Central Park balcony and absolutely loved it! I mean, what are you doing on your balcony that you don’t want anyone to see? 😂. When we went inside and wanted privacy we closed the curtains. I really don’t see what the problem is 🤷‍♀️

I would prefer a CP or Boardwalk balcony to an inside ocean view tiny window. At least I can go outside of my stateroom.

Just got off of Utopi and had a broad walk balcony and there is nothing wrong with them. I saw plenty of ppl sitting on their balconies ( clothed of course) having coffee, reading, playing cards, etc.), and I also mapped out my cabin from the Windjammer…no biggie! Balconies on a cruise ship or other places ( ie hotels) are not made for sitting out there wearing underwear, being naked or doing whatever- that’s what the inside of the cabin with curtains is for. Ppl should have some self respect and dignity. Fyi just booked another broad walk balcony!

We had boardwalk balconies on the Allure & Harmony of the Seas. Like it for activities below us and when on balcony look left and see the ocean. We wear our robes when we have our breakfast on the balcony!🚢

@vickiezalesky8222 2 ай бұрын

We’ve been on ocean view balconies and have had neighbors look right around the wall while we sat enjoying our breakfast! There are no balconies that are private enough for drip drying from the shower or underwear sitting as far as we’ve ever seen! The only exception may be the infinite balconies because there is no looking around possible! You’re hilarious! 😅

Personally, I like Royal Caribbean’s big ships. The reason is I like Central Park and I like the boardwalk. I also like the state rooms in Central Park or the boardwalk. The good thing about Royal Caribbean is big ships is that you have choices if you prefer, you can do Ocean view balcony, if you like noise and if you like people watching, you can do those inside balconies I love them. I love having choices and that’s why I love Royal Caribbean big ships

We booked a 'guaranteed balcony' cabin for our upcoming RC cruise in January. I'm not expecting anything with an ocean view so we'll see how it goes

We tried a Central Park balcony on Harmony. Knowing we wouldn’t have privacy but were hoping for peace and quiet. We got neither. The screeching loud music and activity from the pool deck ruined the Central Park experience.

@beccacarrillo 2 ай бұрын

I'm wondering why you thought that kind of balcony would be quieter than an outside balcony?

@alanjames7877 2 ай бұрын

@@beccacarrillo When you typically stroll through the Central Park area, it’s peaceful. You hear birds during the day and peepers at night. I wasn’t realizing how much noise from the pool deck would come down to the balconies. This was a Harmony thing. I don’t remember it being like that on Symphony, Oasis, or Allure.

I dont think i would ever book a boardwald balcony . I personally love to be on my balcony looking at the waves go by . An extra bonus is getting to watch the ship dock if it happens to be on my side of the ship 🎉

@winterwhitechocolate 2 ай бұрын

I love the Oasis Class ships, but doubt I would ever book a Boardwalk or Central Park balcony. RC would have to incentivize those cabins WAY more than they do. Ocean View balconies are not that much more expensive and they have always been worth the extra money to us!

@KN-op3et 2 ай бұрын

I like the CP balconies -- but you have to treat them like an apartment balcony. And if you are not used to that style of living... yeah it might not be the best option.

I'm booked in a Central Park cabin for next month, so I'm excited to judge for myself. I'm not worried about lack of privacy but maybe I should be? Guess I'll find out in a few weeks 😅

Don’t worry - who goes around naked anyway - it’s just like when you go to the pool enjoy people watching and music in the park

Unless I’m trying to join the balcony club, what do I care? At a minimum I’m wearing a pair of boxers, so no different than being by the pool. Obviously some people do value more privacy on their balcony and one of the best things about modern cruise ships is the huge variety to choose from.

I go ovean view balcony (unobstructed of course) I just love watching the waves and the fresh air... I work hard for my money so I splurge when I go on a cruise.

@ja_sweet_tart4539 2 ай бұрын

I love a regular ocean-side balcony and likes the Central Park view balcony (for people watching) but yes I think and oceanview cabin would be preferred over the internal balcony. Especially for the price of the internal balcony since i can go on desk for some fresh air when needed. Sea/Ocean watching in the 'privacy' of my cabin or balcony with a cup of tea or a cocktail is the best.

Got to see the ocean if I have a balcony. I agree with you. It would just be weird having a balcony and just "people watch"

@habracken8004 2 ай бұрын

I usually get outside view because I just don’t think the balcony is worth the price difference. However, we were docked in Dublin once and our view was a wall because we were on deck 2 lol.

Ocean-view balcony or interior. I've done interior with virtual balcony which I like as long as it's not too expensive. I've never booked an ocean view cabin without a balcony. I'll have to try it sometime.

That stresses me out! Granted, I’m an introvert and get over stimulated in a bad way by too much human contact, but this seems like it would be stressful to anyone.

When I am on a cruise I want to see the ocean. Be it in an outside cabin or balcony. Balcony to boardwalk would be a no go for me because of privacy and being more like a hotel balcony in a resort. I want to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean with a coffee, wine or cocktail😊

@Juanita-gf4te 2 ай бұрын

I'm claustrophobic and would only cruise with an outside balcony.

@alk61695 2 ай бұрын

Yeah I would not stay in those balconies that face inward. If I am on a cruise, I would like a balcony that faces the water. The inward facing balconies feel like I am staying in an Embassy Suites hotel.

@jfk609 2 ай бұрын

No thanks Morgan, if I am going on a cruise I want to see the ocean not the inside of the ship. With this I would think the noise is also increased so nothing looks good about these.

LOL I've never heard anyone say "Butt naked" (or NEKED)! All my life it's been "BUCK naked." Maybe "butt naked" is European? My brother and sister-in-law are exclusively Royal Caribbean cruisers and they love the Central Park balconies. My brother is a very early riser so he goes down to one of the restaurants at the park and has coffee. When my sister-in-law opens the curtains on their balcony, he knows she's awake and the day has begun! lol And...I am a bit surprised at nakedness on the balcony. If you're going to sit down on the patio chair, I hope you put a towel down first! 😉
