We booked an aft balcony (wrap around) for our last cruise. 1st time ever for that cabin on our 16th cruise. Hated it. The balcony was covered in salt the entire time. The wind on the wrap around part made it unusable while at sea. Weather was ok the entire trip. Sun, rain showers occasionally....pretty normal. Having to wipe down the furniture every time we went outside was a deal breaker. Who wants to do that at 7am to enjoy coffee or 11pm to enjoy evening cocktail.
