Thanks so much for all of the great input. I'm really looking forward to the 2 days of Glacier cruising on this cruise, so I"ve decided to go for the Balcony cabin. :) At this point, I'm not planning on a second trip to Alaska so I want to make the most of this one. Also, since this is my 1st Princess Cruise, I thought that if I booked an Oceanview Obstructed, I may be upgraded to a Balcony but I realize that that's a long shot and I would probably be disappointed if I didn't get the Balcony on this cruise. I think I'm going to enjoy the scenic cruising even more than the ports of call. Also, I looked at the layout of the Oceanview rooms and it seems like they don't make it convenient to even look out of your window. Looks like you would have to kneel on the bed to look out of the window. Thanks again Jo-RealLifeRealStoriesDOTcom

Hi,

I'm planning on taking an Alaskan Cruise on the Diamond Princess this year and I can't decide if I should pay double the amount of an oceanview obstructed to get a cabin with a balcony. :confused: I'm assuming I'll be able to enjoy the glacier cruising from the balcony, but maybe the cabin will be on the wrong side of the ship. A lot of people say you're hardly in your cabin to take advantage of it, so I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone have an opinion on the subject?

Thanks
