Difference between balcony and mini-suite on Epic ?

The mini suite is slightly longer I think. We had a mini suite. Also there was a showe/bath tub combined

We really noticed the difference when we had 11 nights in a mini suite then moved to a regular balcony for 3 nights. For transatlantics, we book mini suites. Insides work for us on short cruises (
