Loved the balcony. Just beware that you need to MAKE SURE YOU DONT CLOSE THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR a certain way because IT.WILL.LOCK.YOU.OUT. We went out the first night about 10 pm to just check out the view and the water and ...click. We were locked out. Fortunately our sister was in the next cabin and we were able to get in her cabin so we could go down and get someone to let us back in the cabin! (Nope, count have our key as we went out to the balcony!) FYI they don’t just have a key to your room. They have to go to the bridge to get the key if you have deadbolted it from the inside. Fortunately we were much more careful after that!

Ship tip

Very similar to Grand Princess. Nice ship.

Not the greatest for snorkeling unless you go out a ways like Santa Maria but I really liked the dolphin excursion! (At Cabo Adventures. I didn’t go through the ship.)
