We actually choose cabins that have the steel railings. There is much more privacy when you're docked at a port and the balconies are larger.

When sitting, most people can't see over the steel railings.

4001 to 4041 on the Westerdam.

 

The one time we had a cabin with plexiglass - it was so covered in sea salt we couldn't see through it.

Totally agree. Plus with a solid steel facade, you get less blaring sun on those hot days. So you can sit out there and not roast. Of course if you like to roast...

Ask your cabin steward to clean the plexiglass.

We have had to do that a couple of times.

We have a steel railing on our upcoming cruise. We are okay with it. We've sailed CCL's Dream & Breeze & always booked what they call "cove" balconies. They are lower on the ship & are built into the hull of the ship. We would choose this type room over an upper deck anytime. Like someone else said- more privacy, less sun, & we like the proximity to the water.

The difference between the steel and plexi glass railings (Eurodam cabins 4041 and 4043):
