I love the idea of drying towels and swimsuits. Trying to do so in the bathroom they never get dry lol.

 

Not really a tips persay.. But somethings we enjoyed. :

 

Get icecream and sit on the balcony and just enjoy life

 

Perfect lighting for pictures/selfies with a beautiful background-teen approved

 

Sit outside at night and star gaze or just listen to the waves which helped us wind down after a busy day.

 

We used it last time to see when the tender seemed to be less busy.

 

For me it helped with panic attacks. Just being able to not feel crowded in the cabin or near too many people. So tip for those with panic/anxiety i guess lol.

 

 

Leaving the curtains open during the night was nice to look at stars from the bed and then wake up naturally to the sun. Was able to wake up a bit before the alarm.

Plus the room being bright in the morning helped our teen wake up without having to argue more then normal

I am in hopes that we can return to the topic of this post.  I am sure the OP is excited about having a balcony cabin and is looking for suggestions to maximize the experience.  Let help with suggestions, not arguments.  If someone wants to play music on their balcony, fine, as long as it doesn't bother others.  If it bothers you, just politely ask them to turn it down.  I guess my whole point is, enjoy your life.  You are blessed to be able to cruise or vacation in any form.  Consider the alternative.  

Thanks for trying to get back to the Topic! 

WOW..so many excellent points on the balcony! Thank you all so much for your answers and opinions, I consider myself to be a considerate cruiser, so all this info is extremely helpful!! 

Hi everyone! So this is my 14th Cruise, and my first time for a balcony!! I know..I know..what have I been doing all my cruising life?! LOL!!

Does anyone have any tips for a balcony room or should I bring anything extra that will make the balcony better? TIA!!

I also just got upgraded to PLATINUM!!! I am thrilled!

Thank you so much for reading my review!

 

Thank you so much and thanks for reading!  I'm glad you liked my toes.  LOL  When I saw the anchors I had to have them.

 

The duck thing was started by a little girl from Ohio a couple of years ago.  I believe her name is Abby.  She took some rubber ducks on a cruise to hide and it was so much fun it just caught on from there.  They're called "cruising ducks" and are very similar to the painted "friendship rocks" that were really popular a couple of years ago.  There are several Facebook groups that track the cruising ducks.  Basically, people take them on a cruise and hid them.  They usually have a tag that gives the persons name and where they're from.  The person who finds the duck can either keep it or rehide it.  It's great if they will post a picture on one of the Facebook groups when they are found but I don't think that happens that often.  None of mine ever showed up on Facebook.  You can't hide them in pools, hot tubs or stores...but pretty much any other public place out of the way.  Some of the crew collect them as well.  You can't see if from the photo in this review but the piano player had one on his piano.  Some people take a lot, some not so many.  I took one for each day.  I found two but left the second one there so someone else could find it and I brought the first one home.  It's a lot of fun!  If you do a search or look on Facebook, you'll find lots of information.

Thank you so much for the info!! Sounds so fun! I am going to hide the ducks too!!

Love your review and all of your pic!! Toes are super cute too! Can you explain the ducks? It looks like an adorable thing too, I have not head of this. Thank-You!
