Once we cruised with our first balcony there was never cruising again without one! 
We use it in good AND bad weather. I love sitting out on the balcony in the middle of a storm and listening to the waves at night. The past 2 cruises I was on the seas were pretty rough and I'd rather be outside than inside when that happens.
There is also the benefit of getting beautiful pictures of the sunrise, possible marine life, coastline when coming into port, etc. without fighting for space at the railings if you're on a ship with a limited amount of balconies! |
