Don't take this the wrong way. We absolutely love the cabin. Very spacious and comfortable. Yes, like everything else on board it needs updating. Cabin attendant is great, as is the rest of the crew. The only problem is the balcony. This is an aft facing cabin. Knew it would have an obstructed view from the super structure. Again no problem. The problem is that cabin and balcony are set back about 30 feet from the aft of the ship. We seldom, if ever, get a breeze. The heat builds up on the completely covered balcony and it's very hot out there, even at night. We often walk on deck 4 in the evening. We sit on the chairs. Always get a breeze. I assume in January this wouldn't be a problem but beware of August sailing from Galveston! Very, very hot!
