Inside or Balcony for Mexican Riviera

When we cruise the Caribbean we always get an inside cabin as the balcony isn't worth the extra cost. 90% of the time what you see from the balcony is water, right? We have never cruised the Mexican Riviera before and are wondering, from a purely scenic point of view (as with Alaska) is there an advantage to having a balcony?

Talking

For the most part you will be too far away from shore to see much of anything.
The exception would be as you enter or leave each port.

Thanks Reggie! We already have an inside but didn't want to miss out if there would be scenery.

Reggie is correct. Other than when entering or leaving port, you are not in site of land.

We booked a balcony for the Caribbean, but more for scenery it was for getting fresh air into our cabin and having our own little piece of fresh air.
